Ocmis MR/1 Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis MR/1 is a compact hard hose reel travelling irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's leading specialist in professional irrigation technology. This smaller-dimension model combines robust Italian engineering with exceptional manoeuvrability, making it the ideal solution for irrigating green spaces in sports facilities, municipal parks, gardens, golf courses, and recreational play areas. Equipped with a turbine-driven gearbox system, galvanised raingun trolley, and HYDRA raingun technology, the MR/1 delivers reliable irrigation performance across medium-scale applications where ease of handling and compact design are essential.

What distinguishes the MR/1 from larger travelling irrigators is its optimised footprint and practical design philosophy. The machine features a turbine flanged directly to the gearbox with an external by-pass system, ensuring smooth operation and precise speed control during irrigation cycles. With three hose diameter configurations ranging from 50 mm to 63 mm (1.97 to 2.48 inches) and lengths up to 170 metres (558 feet), the MR/1 offers versatile coverage options whilst maintaining its signature compact profile. The entire chassis receives epoxy resin coating followed by polyurethane paint finishing, providing superior corrosion resistance for long-term outdoor deployment in demanding irrigation environments.

Key Features & Benefits

Turbine-Driven Gearbox with External By-Pass: Provides smooth, consistent retraction speed and precise control throughout the irrigation cycle, whilst the external by-pass system allows for easy maintenance and operational adjustments without disassembly.
Professional Hose-Guide System: Ensures even, consistent hose winding onto the reel drum, preventing tangling and extending hose service life whilst minimising operator intervention during retraction.
Galvanised Raingun Trolley: Corrosion-resistant trolley construction provides stable platform for the raingun during travel, ensuring consistent application height and pattern uniformity even across uneven terrain.
HYDRA Raingun with Interchangeable Nozzle Set: Includes complete nozzle set from Ø 12 mm to Ø 16 mm, allowing operators to optimise flow rate, throw diameter, and application intensity to match specific crop requirements and water availability.
Integrated Pressure Monitoring: Built-in pressure gauge enables real-time monitoring of system operating pressure, helping operators maintain optimal performance and quickly identify any hydraulic issues before they affect irrigation quality.
Power Take-Off for Fast Retraction: Allows connection to tractor PTO for rapid hose retrieval at end of season or when relocating the machine, significantly reducing labour time compared to water-powered retraction alone.
Flexible Connection Pipe: High-quality flexible coupling between water source and machine inlet accommodates ground irregularities and machine positioning variations whilst preventing stress on connection points.
Comprehensive Safety Guards: Protective guards cover all rotating components and pinch points, ensuring operator safety during setup, operation, and maintenance activities in compliance with international safety standards.
Durable Triple-Wheel Configuration: Front wheel (13.5.00 x 6 inches) combined with dual rear wheels (16.6.50 x 8 inches, 4PR 4F) provides excellent stability and traction across varied terrain whilst distributing weight to minimise soil compaction.
Premium Polyethylene Hose from Virgin Material: Hose manufactured exclusively from unadulterated raw polyethylene ensures maximum flexibility, UV resistance, and longevity without degradation from recycled material inconsistencies.
