Ocmis IR2/1A Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis IR2/1A is a hard hose reel travelling irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, a leading Italian irrigation equipment specialist renowned for precision engineering and durability. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, this heavy-duty machine handles hoses ranging from 110 mm to 125 mm (4.33 to 4.92 in) in diameter with lengths extending up to 450 m (1476 ft), delivering exceptional stability and reliability for demanding irrigation tasks across extensive field areas.

What distinguishes the IR2/1A model is its innovative Turbo Speed system, which significantly reduces turbine load loss while enabling a comprehensive range of machine speeds even under conditions of very low flow rates and inlet pressures. Combined with a 4-speed gearbox, hydraulic lifting and rotation systems, and hot galvanized chassis with dual protective coatings, this irrigator delivers robust high-performance operation with remarkably low running and maintenance costs, making it an ideal choice for professional growers managing large-dimension hose systems.

Key Features & Benefits

• Turbo Speed System: Reduces turbine load loss and provides access to multiple machine speeds even with very low flows and inlet pressures, maximising operational flexibility and efficiency across varying field conditions.
• 4-Speed Gearbox with Power Take-Off: Offers precise control over retrieval speed and irrigation application rates, allowing operators to match travel speed to crop requirements and field topography for optimal water distribution.
• Comprehensive Hydraulic System: Includes hydraulic lifting device for trolley, hydraulic rotation of turntable, hydraulic lifting of drawbar, and telescopic hydraulic feet, all connected via rapid couplings to tractor for effortless positioning and transport.
• Superior Stability for Large Hoses: Engineered specifically for handling hoses of large dimensions with exceptional stability, minimising tipping risks and ensuring safe operation on uneven terrain with heavy, water-filled hoses.
• Triple-Protection Chassis: Hot galvanized chassis coated with epoxy resin and finished with polyurethane paints provides triple-layer corrosion protection, dramatically extending machine lifespan in harsh agricultural environments.
• Dual Raingun Options: Equipped with either REFLEX raingun (nozzles Ø 24-32 mm) or EXPLORER raingun (nozzles Ø 28-40 mm) depending on configuration, with complete nozzle sets included for precise irrigation coverage adjustment.
• Premium Hose Quality: Polyethylene hose manufactured from unadulterated raw material ensures long service life, consistent performance, and resistance to UV degradation and chemical exposure.
• Galvanized Variable Track Trolley: Raingun trolley mounted on variable track wheels with galvanized finish provides stability across different crop row spacings while resisting corrosion from constant water exposure.
• Professional Monitoring Instruments: Includes pressure gauge in glycerine bath for accurate readings, tachometer for speed monitoring, and speed equalizer for consistent performance throughout irrigation cycles.
• Heavy-Duty Wheels: 11.5/80-15.3 12PR 6F wheels provide excellent flotation and traction, minimising soil compaction while ensuring reliable operation across soft or uneven field surfaces.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Field Crops: Ideal for irrigating extensive areas of cereals, maize, soybeans, and other row crops requiring uniform water distribution across long field runs.
• Pasture and Forage Production: Well-suited for maintaining productive grasslands and forage crops where consistent moisture levels are essential for yield and quality.
• Vegetable Production: Effective for large commercial vegetable operations requiring precise irrigation control and the ability to handle varying flow rates and pressures across different crop stages.
• Orchards and Permanent Crops: Applicable for under-canopy irrigation in orchards and vineyards where the variable track trolley accommodates different row spacings.
• Challenging Terrain Irrigation: Designed for fields with uneven topography where the Turbo Speed system and hydraulic stabilisation features ensure reliable operation on slopes and irregular surfaces.
• Low-Pressure Water Sources: Particularly advantageous for operations with limited pumping capacity or low-pressure water supplies, thanks to the Turbo Speed system's efficiency at low inlet pressures.
