Marani ITS080B Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Marani ITS080B is a professional turbine-driven hard hose irrigator engineered by Marani Irrigazione of Italy for large-scale agricultural operations requiring reliable, efficient water distribution across extensive field areas. This heavy-duty reel irrigation system combines hydraulic control systems with a turbine drive mechanism mounted directly on a 4-speed synchronized gearbox, delivering precise water application for plots of noteworthy dimensions without sacrificing operational ease. Available in eight hose configurations ranging from 100mm to 150mm diameter with lengths up to 650 metres, the ITS080B accommodates diverse field layouts and crop requirements while maintaining an optimal cost-benefit relationship for commercial farming enterprises.

What distinguishes the ITS080B from conventional hard hose irrigators is its comprehensive hydraulic integration across critical functions—including trolley lifting, turntable rotation, drawbar positioning, and telescopic foot stabilisation—all controlled through rapid couplings to the tractor hydraulic system. The hot-galvanized chassis and reel construction ensures exceptional corrosion resistance in demanding agricultural environments, while the built-in turbine bypass mechanism and dual water inlet system (Bauer Ø 108 or Ø 133 depending on hose diameter) provide operational flexibility. Equipped with professional-grade REFLEX or EXPLORER rainguns with interchangeable nozzle sets, this Italian-manufactured irrigator delivers uniform water distribution patterns across working widths appropriate to each hose configuration.

Key Features & Benefits

Turbine Drive System with Integrated Bypass: The turbine flanged directly to the gearbox with built-in bypass provides reliable water-powered operation without external power requirements, eliminating fuel costs while the bypass protects against pressure surges during operation.
Comprehensive Hydraulic Control Package: Hydraulic operation of trolley lifting, turntable rotation, drawbar positioning, and telescopic feet allows single-operator management of all positioning functions from the tractor seat, significantly reducing setup time and physical labour requirements.
4-Synchronized Speed Gearbox: Multiple retrieval speed options enable precise matching of irrigation application rates to soil infiltration characteristics and crop water requirements, ensuring optimal water distribution efficiency across varying field conditions.
Hot Galvanized Chassis and Reel Construction: Complete hot-dip galvanization of the chassis and reel drum provides superior corrosion protection compared to painted finishes, extending operational lifespan in humid climates and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Dual Raingun System Options: Supplied with both REFLEX (Ø 24-32mm nozzles) and EXPLORER (Ø 28-40mm nozzles) raingun configurations with complete nozzle sets, providing application rate flexibility from fine spray patterns for delicate crops to high-volume coverage for field crops.
Variable Track Galvanized Trolley: The adjustable-width wheel track on the raingun trolley accommodates different row spacings and field configurations whilst the galvanized construction ensures durability in continuous outdoor exposure.
Dual Water Inlet Specification: Purpose-designed galvanized double inlet system with Bauer Ø 108 coupling for hoses up to 125mm and Bauer Ø 133 for larger diameter hoses ensures proper connection sizing and minimizes pressure losses at the water supply interface.
Professional Monitoring Instruments: Glycerine-bath pressure gauge, tachometer, and speed equalizer provide real-time operational feedback, enabling operators to verify correct operating parameters and diagnose performance issues immediately.
Unadulterated Polyethylene Hose Material: Hose manufactured from virgin polyethylene raw material without recycled content ensures consistent wall thickness, UV resistance, and pressure rating throughout the hose service life.

Pure-grade PE material delivers consistent wall thickness, superior pressure resistance, and a longer service life compared to hoses made with recycled compounds.
Variable Track Raingun Trolley	A hot-dip galvanized raingun trolley is mounted on variable track wheels fitted with 12.5/80-15.3 14PR 6F tyres.
