Marani IT060BM Motor-Pump Integrated Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Marani IT060BM is a top-of-the-range motor-pump integrated hard hose irrigator engineered and manufactured in Italy by Marani Irrigazione, one of Europe's most respected names in agricultural irrigation technology. Designed for large-scale irrigation operations, this machine combines a powerful hydraulic drive system with a fully integrated motor-pump unit, enabling dual-function operation — the irrigator can draw water directly from an open canal or function in conventional pumping mode, delivering exceptional operational flexibility across a wide variety of field conditions and water source configurations.

What sets the IT060BM apart within the Marani range is its positioning as the flagship model, representing the highest level of technology, physical scale, and field performance that Marani Irrigazione offers. The machine supports polyethylene hose diameters from 100 mm up to 140 mm (3.94 to 5.51 in) and hose lengths reaching up to 500 m (1,640 ft), making it suited to the most demanding high-volume irrigation tasks on large agricultural holdings. A 4-speed synchronised gearbox, full hydraulic control of key machine functions, and a robust hot-galvanised chassis underscore the engineering investment that defines this hard hose irrigator.

Key Features & Benefits

Integrated Motor-Pump Unit: Enables dual-function operation — the machine can pump water independently or draw directly from an open canal, eliminating the need for a separate pumping unit and significantly expanding deployment flexibility on diverse farm sites.
Full Hydraulic Control System: Hydraulic lifting of the trolley, hydraulic rotation of the turntable, hydraulic lifting of the drawbar, and telescopic hydraulic feet all provide effortless, precise machine positioning and setup from the tractor cab, reducing manual labour and improving operator safety.
4-Speed Synchronised Gearbox with Integrated Turbine: The four synchronised speed gearbox, combined with a turbine flanged directly onto the gearbox and featuring a built-in by-pass, delivers precise reel winding speed control to ensure uniform water application across the full hose length.
Hot-Galvanised Chassis and Reel: The structural frame and reel drum receive a hot-galvanising treatment, providing long-term corrosion resistance in demanding outdoor agricultural environments and significantly extending the machine's service life.
Dual Raingun Compatibility (REFLEX & EXPLORER): The IT060BM is configured with either the REFLEX or EXPLORER raingun depending on hose diameter, with nozzle sets covering sizes from Ø 24 to Ø 40 mm, allowing precise tailoring of throw radius, flow rate, and application intensity to suit specific crop and soil requirements.
Galvanised Double Water Inlet with Bauer Couplings: The double water inlet, available in Bauer Ø 108 for hose diameters 100–125 mm or Bauer Ø 133 for 135–140 mm, provides a robust, leak-resistant hydraulic connection and supports high-volume water delivery without pressure loss.
Speed Equaliser and Tachometer: These integrated instruments ensure consistent reel winding speed is maintained throughout the irrigation run, supporting uniform water distribution and simplifying operator monitoring without requiring constant manual adjustment.
Unadulterated Raw Material Polyethylene Hose: The PE hose is manufactured from pure, unadulterated raw material, ensuring pressure integrity, flexibility, and long service life even under continuous high-pressure field operation across large surface areas.
Galvanised Raingun Trolley on Variable Track Wheels: The raingun trolley is fully galvanised and mounted on variable track wheels, allowing adaptation to different row spacings and terrain conditions to ensure stable deployment at the leading end of the hose.
Comprehensive Safety Guards (Swaged Galvanised Steel): All safety guards are constructed from steel, swaged and galvanised, then painted — providing durable mechanical protection for operators and bystanders while resisting corrosion in field conditions.
