Ocmis Hippodrome

Overview

The OCMIS Hippodrome is an innovative 180° linear irrigation system manufactured by OCMIS Irrigazione S.p.A., Italy's leading irrigation engineering company. This self-moving boom irrigator features a central motor and revolving joint designed specifically for linear field irrigation, with flexible water supply options including PE hose, flexible hose, or direct channel connection. The system delivers precision irrigation coverage across rectangular or linear field configurations, making it an ideal solution for medium to large-scale agricultural operations requiring efficient water management.

What sets the Hippodrome apart is its proprietary OCMIS patent that enables fully autonomous direction reversal at the end of each irrigation run without operator intervention. This breakthrough technology eliminates the need for manual repositioning, significantly reducing labour requirements whilst maintaining continuous irrigation cycles. The intelligent reversing mechanism combined with the self-propelled boom design delivers unmatched operational efficiency for linear irrigation applications, allowing farmers to optimise water distribution whilst minimising operational oversight.

Ocmis Hippodrome

Key Features & Benefits

Autonomous Direction Reversal: Proprietary OCMIS patent technology automatically reverses the boom at field ends without operator intervention, eliminating manual repositioning and reducing labour costs whilst maintaining continuous irrigation cycles.
Self-Moving Boom Design: Central motor-driven boom travels independently along the irrigation path, providing consistent coverage across linear field layouts without requiring complex infrastructure or permanent installation.
180° Linear Coverage: Revolving joint mechanism enables precise 180-degree irrigation patterns, optimising water distribution for rectangular field configurations and maximising coverage efficiency.
Flexible Water Supply Options: Accepts water from multiple sources including PE hose, flexible hose, or direct channel connection, providing installation flexibility to suit existing farm infrastructure and water delivery systems.
Italian Engineering Excellence: Manufactured by OCMIS Irrigazione S.p.A. in Italy, incorporating decades of irrigation expertise and precision manufacturing to deliver reliable performance in demanding agricultural environments.
Reduced Operational Oversight: Automated operation and intelligent reversal system minimise the need for constant monitoring, allowing farm personnel to focus on other critical operations whilst irrigation continues unattended.
