Ocmis IR2/2A Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis IR2/2A is a professional-grade hard hose reel travelling irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's leading producer of precision irrigation equipment. Engineered for large-scale agricultural operations, this heavy-duty travelling irrigator handles hoses ranging from 100mm to 140mm in diameter and up to 600 metres in length, delivering exceptional performance across extensive field areas. Built on a hot-galvanized chassis with dual protective coatings and mounted on robust 11.5/80-15.3 12PR wheels, the IR2/2A provides the stability and durability required for demanding irrigation applications.

What distinguishes the IR2/2A from conventional travelling irrigators is its innovative Turbo Speed system, which dramatically reduces turbine load loss whilst enabling a wide range of operational speeds even under conditions of very low flow rates and inlet pressures. The machine features a comprehensive hydraulic control system including hydraulic lifting of the trolley, turntable rotation, drawbar adjustment, and telescopic feet positioning. Combined with a 4-speed gearbox and turbine flanged directly to the gearbox with integrated bypass, the IR2/2A delivers superior operational flexibility with minimal running and maintenance costs, making it an ideal solution for operators managing large dimensions hoses across varied terrain and crop types.

Key Features & Benefits

• Turbo Speed System: Reduces turbine load loss and provides access to a wide range of machine speeds even with very low flows and inlet pressures, optimising performance across varying field conditions and water supply situations.
• Comprehensive Hydraulic Control Package: Hydraulic lifting device for trolley, hydraulic turntable rotation, hydraulic drawbar lifting, and telescopic hydraulic feet provide effortless positioning and adjustment, reducing operator fatigue and setup time.
• 4-Speed Gearbox with Power Take-Off: Offers precise speed control for different irrigation requirements, crops, and soil types, ensuring optimal water application rates and uniform coverage across the entire irrigated strip.
• Direct-Flanged Turbine with Built-In Bypass: Turbine mounted directly on the gearbox with integrated bypass eliminates mechanical complexity, reduces maintenance requirements, and improves power transmission efficiency for reliable long-term operation.
• Variable Track Galvanized Raingun Trolley: Adjustable wheel track accommodates different row spacings and field conditions, whilst hot-galvanized construction ensures corrosion resistance and extended service life in harsh agricultural environments.
• Triple-Layer Chassis Protection: Hot galvanized chassis coated with epoxy resin and finished with polyurethane paints provides exceptional corrosion resistance and structural longevity, protecting your investment even in chemically treated water applications.
• High-Quality Polyethylene Hose: Manufactured from unadulterated raw material ensuring consistent performance, resistance to UV degradation, and long service life without contamination or material breakdown.
• Dual Water Inlet System: Galvanized double water inlet configuration provides operational flexibility for different field layouts and water source positions, simplifying field setup and reducing connection time.
• Professional Monitoring Instrumentation: Glycerine-bath pressure gauge and tachometer provide accurate real-time monitoring of operating parameters, enabling operators to optimise performance and identify potential issues before they affect irrigation quality.
• Rapid Coupling Hydraulic System: Quick-connect hydraulic couplings to tractor streamline setup and breakdown procedures, reducing field transition time and improving operational efficiency across multiple irrigation sites.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Row Crop Irrigation: Ideal for maize, soybean, cotton, and vegetable crops where uniform water distribution across extensive field lengths is critical for consistent yields and crop quality.
• Forage and Pasture Management: Excellent for irrigating hay fields, silage crops, and permanent pastures where the ability to handle large hose diameters ensures adequate flow rates for rapid irrigation cycles.
• Speciality Crop Production: Well-suited for potato, sugar beet, and other high-value crops requiring precise water management, with the Turbo Speed system enabling accurate control of application rates.
• Undulating Terrain Irrigation: The robust chassis, telescopic hydraulic feet, and exceptional stability make the IR2/2A ideal for fields with moderate slopes and uneven topography where lesser machines struggle.
• Low-Pressure Water Source Applications: The innovative Turbo Speed system's ability to operate efficiently with very low inlet pressures makes this machine ideal for operations with gravity-fed systems or limited pumping capacity.
• Contract Irrigation Services: The rapid hydraulic coupling system, comprehensive monitoring instrumentation, and multiple hose configurations make the IR2/2A an excellent choice for contractors serving diverse clients with varying field sizes and crop requirements.
