Marani IT070BM Motor-Pump Integrated Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Marani IT070BM is a top-of-the-range motor-pump integrated hard hose irrigator engineered and manufactured in Italy by Marani Irrigazione, a specialist in high-performance irrigation machinery. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine combines a fully hydraulic drive system with a powerful turbine-driven reel mechanism, enabling it to handle hose diameters from 100 mm to 140 mm (3.94 in to 5.51 in) and hose lengths reaching up to 600 m (1,969 ft). The integrated motor-pump configuration gives operators the flexibility to work either by pumping directly from an open water source such as a canal or by connecting to an existing pressurised water supply, making it one of the most versatile hard hose travelling irrigators available in its class.

What sets the IT070BM apart within the Marani range is its comprehensive suite of hydraulic automation features — from the hydraulic lifting device on the trolley and hydraulic rotation of the turntable, to telescopic hydraulic feet and a hydraulic drawbar lift — all engineered to reduce manual labour and improve operational efficiency in the field. The machine is built on a hot-galvanised chassis with a galvanised reel, ensuring long-term corrosion resistance in demanding outdoor environments. Paired with a 4-speed synchronised gearbox and compatibility with both the REFLEX and EXPLORER raingun families, the IT070BM delivers precise, uniform water application across a wide range of crop types and field geometries. For operations requiring a premium, high-capacity hard hose irrigator with dual-function water sourcing and near-total hydraulic control, this model represents the pinnacle of Marani's product line.

Key Features & Benefits

Motor-Pump Integration (Dual Water Source Capability): The machine can pump directly from an open canal or connect to a pressurised supply, giving operators maximum flexibility in field locations where mains or pressurised water infrastructure is unavailable.
Fully Hydraulic Operation: Hydraulic lifting of the trolley, hydraulic rotation of the turntable, hydraulic lifting of the drawbar, and telescopic hydraulic feet all reduce the need for manual adjustment, improving speed of deployment and operator safety.
4-Speed Synchronised Gearbox with Turbine By-Pass: The turbine is flanged directly onto the gearbox and includes a built-in by-pass, allowing precise control of hose retrieval speed across four synchronised settings to optimise water application uniformity.
Hot-Galvanised Chassis and Reel: The structural frame and reel drum are hot-galvanised for maximum corrosion protection, ensuring a long service life even under continuous outdoor use and exposure to fertiliser-enriched water.
REFLEX and EXPLORER Raingun Compatibility: The machine is configured with either the REFLEX raingun (nozzles Ø 24–32 mm) or the EXPLORER raingun (nozzles Ø 28–40 mm) depending on the hose configuration, covering a broad range of flow rates and throw radii to match varying field sizes and crop requirements.
Galvanised Double Water Inlet with Bauer Couplings: A dual water inlet with Bauer Ø 108 mm coupling (for hose diameters 100–125 mm) or Bauer Ø 133 mm coupling (for hose diameters 135–140 mm) provides secure, leak-resistant connections and simplifies on-site setup.
Speed Equaliser and Tachometer: These instruments work together to maintain consistent reel winding speed and monitor performance in real time, contributing to even water distribution along the entire hose run.
Polyethylene Hose from Unadulterated Raw Material: The PE hose is manufactured from virgin, unrecycled polyethylene, ensuring consistent wall thickness, pressure resistance, and a long operational lifespan without risk of contamination or premature failure.
Variable Track Wheels on Raingun Trolley: The raingun trolley is mounted on galvanised variable-track wheels, allowing it to adapt to different row spacings and field surfaces for stable, straight travel during irrigation passes.
Safety Guards Made of Swaged Galvanised Steel: Heavy-duty galvanised and painted steel safety guards protect operators from moving components, meeting agricultural machinery safety standards without adding excessive weight to the machine.
