Ocmis MR Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis MR is a compact turbine drive hard hose irrigator engineered by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's renowned manufacturer of professional irrigation equipment. This smaller-dimension model combines Italian precision engineering with practical functionality, designed specifically for irrigating green spaces in sports facilities, parks, gardens, and recreational play areas. With hose configurations ranging from 40-43 mm diameter and lengths up to 130 metres, the MR delivers reliable performance in applications where maneuverability and ease of handling are essential priorities.

What distinguishes the MR model is its turbine drive system flanged directly onto the gearbox with an external by-pass mechanism, providing smooth hose retrieval and consistent operation. The machine features a complete irrigation package including a galvanized raingun trolley, K1-23-000 raingun with comprehensive nozzle sets, and a hose-guide system that ensures even winding. Constructed with epoxy resin coating and finished with durable polyurethane paints, the MR is built to withstand outdoor exposure whilst maintaining the compact profile and practical handling characteristics that make it ideal for smaller irrigation projects and landscaped environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Turbine Drive with External By-Pass: Provides water-powered hose retrieval with overflow protection, eliminating the need for external power sources whilst ensuring consistent retraction speed regardless of pressure fluctuations.
• Integrated Gearbox System: Delivers precise hose winding control and extended operational lifespan through reduced mechanical wear, minimising maintenance requirements over years of continuous use.
• Hose-Guide Mechanism: Ensures even, uniform hose layering on the drum during retrieval, preventing tangles and extending hose life whilst reducing operator intervention during rewinding cycles.
• Galvanized Raingun Trolley: Corrosion-resistant construction provides stable raingun positioning and smooth travel across varied terrain, ensuring consistent spray patterns throughout the irrigation cycle.
• Complete Nozzle Set Included: Factory-supplied nozzle range from Ø 8 to Ø 10 mm enables precise flow adjustment to match different pressure conditions and coverage requirements without additional purchases.
• Power Take-Off for Fast Retraction: Optional mechanical drive capability allows rapid hose retrieval when time-sensitive operations require faster cycle completion than standard turbine speed provides.
• High-Quality Polyethylene Hose: Manufactured from virgin raw materials without recycled content, ensuring maximum flexibility, UV resistance, and extended service life compared to lower-grade alternatives.
• Durable Surface Protection: Epoxy resin base coat with polyurethane topcoat finish provides superior resistance to weathering, chemical exposure, and mechanical abrasion in demanding outdoor environments.
• Integrated Safety Guards: Factory-installed protective covers shield moving components during operation, reducing accident risk and meeting workplace safety standards for commercial irrigation equipment.
• Pressure Monitoring: Fitted pressure gauge enables operators to verify system performance, optimise nozzle selection, and identify potential issues before they affect irrigation quality.

Ideal Applications

• Sports Facility Turf Maintenance: Compact dimensions and maneuverability make the MR perfect for irrigating football pitches, cricket ovals, and training grounds where equipment must navigate between playing surfaces.
• Municipal Parks and Gardens: Smaller footprint and practical handling enable efficient irrigation of landscaped public spaces, botanical gardens, and ornamental areas without damaging delicate plantings or pathways.
• Recreational Play Areas: Reliable turbine drive operation and comprehensive safety guards ensure safe irrigation of playgrounds, picnic areas, and family recreation zones during off-peak hours.
• Golf Course Rough and Surrounds: Suitable for irrigating perimeter areas, practice ranges, and rough sections where full-scale agricultural irrigators would be excessive for the coverage requirements.
• Landscaping Projects: Ideal for contractors establishing new lawns, groundcovers, and landscape installations where temporary irrigation is needed before permanent systems are commissioned.
• Small-Scale Nurseries and Horticulture: Provides flexible irrigation for container production areas, field-grown stock, and seasonal crop zones requiring periodic relocation of irrigation equipment.
