Ocmis IR2/2A Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis IR2/2A is a professional turbine-driven hard hose irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's leading irrigation equipment specialist. Engineered for large-scale agricultural operations, this heavy-duty reel irrigator handles hoses from 100 mm to 140 mm (3.94 to 5.51 inches) in diameter and lengths up to 600 metres (1,969 feet), delivering exceptional stability and reliable performance across extensive coverage areas. Built with hot galvanized chassis construction and advanced hydraulic systems, the IR2/2A represents the pinnacle of Italian irrigation engineering for commercial farming enterprises.

What distinguishes the IR2/2A from conventional hard hose irrigators is Ocmis's proprietary Turbo Speed system, which dramatically reduces turbine load loss while enabling precise speed control even under low flow and pressure conditions. The machine features a comprehensive hydraulic package including trolley lifting, turntable rotation, drawbar elevation, and telescopic feet positioning—all controlled via rapid couplings to the tractor. With its 4-speed gearbox, flanged turbine with integrated bypass, and choice between REFLEX and EXPLORER rainguns, this irrigator delivers exceptional operational flexibility and dramatically reduced running costs compared to competitive models.

Key Features & Benefits

• Turbo Speed System: Proprietary technology reduces turbine friction losses and maintains consistent retrieval speeds even with very low inlet pressures and flow rates, ensuring reliable operation across varying water supply conditions.
• Complete Hydraulic Operation: Hydraulic lifting device for trolley, hydraulic turntable rotation, hydraulic drawbar elevation, and telescopic hydraulic feet provide effortless positioning and setup without manual labour, dramatically reducing operator fatigue.
• 4-Speed Gearbox with PTO: Multiple speed options allow precise matching of retrieval rate to crop requirements and field conditions, while power take-off capability enables flexible drive configurations for diverse operational scenarios.
• Flanged Turbine with Built-in Bypass: Direct flange mounting eliminates connection losses while integrated bypass valve protects the system from pressure spikes, extending component life and reducing maintenance interventions.
• Dual Raingun System Options: Factory-equipped with both REFLEX (Ø24-32 mm nozzles) and EXPLORER (Ø28-40 mm nozzles) raingun options with complete nozzle sets, providing application flexibility from fine spray irrigation to high-volume coverage without additional purchases.
• Variable Track Galvanized Trolley: Adjustable wheel track width on the raingun trolley accommodates different row spacings and field layouts, while hot galvanized construction ensures decades of corrosion-free service in harsh agricultural environments.
• Premium Chassis Treatment: Hot galvanized steel frame coated with epoxy resin and finished with polyurethane paint provides triple-layer corrosion protection, while galvanized and painted safety guards ensure long-term durability even in corrosive fertilizer applications.
• High-Quality Polyethylene Hose: Manufactured from virgin raw material without recycled content, ensuring consistent pressure ratings, flexibility in cold conditions, and extended service life compared to economy hoses using adulterated compounds.
• Professional Instrumentation: Glycerine-bath pressure gauge resists vibration damage, tachometer provides precise speed monitoring, and speed equalizer maintains consistent retrieval rates regardless of hose fullness or terrain variations.
• Heavy-Duty Agricultural Wheels: 11.5/80-15.3 12PR 6F tires provide excellent traction and flotation on soft ground while distributing machine weight to minimize soil compaction in wet field conditions.
