Ocmis MRR Turbine Driven Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis MRR is a turbine-driven hard hose irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, one of Italy's leading irrigation equipment producers. As one of the best-selling models in the Ocmis range, this robust reel irrigator combines exceptional field performance with minimal running and maintenance costs, making it a proven choice for agricultural operations worldwide. Designed to handle hose configurations from 50 mm to 63 mm (1.97 to 2.48 inches) in diameter and lengths up to 230 metres (755 feet), the MRR delivers reliable irrigation coverage for medium to large-scale farming applications.

What distinguishes the MRR from conventional hard hose irrigators is the proprietary Turbo Speed system, which significantly reduces turbine load loss while enabling a broad range of retrieval speeds even under conditions of very low flow rates and inlet pressures. This innovation allows operators to maintain consistent performance across varying water supply conditions, enhancing versatility and user-friendliness in diverse agricultural settings. The machine's turbine is directly flanged to the gearbox with an external by-pass configuration, ensuring efficient power transfer and simplified maintenance access throughout the irrigator's service life.

Key Features & Benefits

• Turbo Speed System: Reduces turbine load loss and maintains operational efficiency even with low flow rates and inlet pressures, allowing consistent performance across varying water supply conditions and reducing energy consumption.
• Turbine Flanged Directly to Gearbox with External By-Pass: Provides efficient power transfer from water turbine to hose retrieval mechanism while offering convenient external access for maintenance and adjustment without disassembling major components.
• Advanced Hose-Guide System: Ensures even, controlled hose winding during retrieval, preventing tangling and uneven layering that can damage the hose and extending overall system lifespan.
• Galvanised Raingun Trolley: Protects the traveling raingun carriage from corrosion in harsh agricultural environments, ensuring long-term reliability and reducing replacement costs in high-moisture conditions.
• Power Take-Off for Fast Retraction: Enables rapid hose retrieval using external power sources when needed, significantly reducing downtime between irrigation cycles and improving operational efficiency during critical watering periods.
• Premium Polyethylene Hose from Unadulterated Raw Material: Guarantees hose integrity and longevity by using only virgin polymer materials, ensuring consistent pressure ratings, UV resistance, and freedom from contaminants that could compromise water quality or structural integrity.
• Comprehensive Safety Guards: Protects operators from moving mechanical components during operation and maintenance, meeting international safety standards while allowing necessary access for routine servicing.
• Industrial-Grade Coating System: Machine chassis treated with epoxy resin base coat and polyurethane paint finish provides exceptional corrosion resistance and weatherability, extending service life in demanding outdoor agricultural environments.
• Optimised Wheel Configuration: Front wheel (13.5.00 × 6") and dual rear wheels (15.6.00 × 6" 4F) provide stability on uneven terrain while minimising soil compaction and ensuring manoeuvrability across various field conditions.

Ideal Applications

• Medium to Large-Scale Field Crops: Ideal for cereals, maize, soybeans, and other row crops requiring consistent coverage across expansive field areas with flexible irrigation scheduling.
• Forage and Pasture Irrigation: Well-suited for maintaining grasslands, hay fields, and grazing pastures where reliable water distribution supports livestock feed production throughout growing seasons.
• Vegetable Production: Effective for irrigating open-field vegetable operations where adjustable nozzle configurations allow operators to match application rates to crop water requirements at different growth stages.
• Orchards and Vineyard Frost Protection: Suitable for under-canopy irrigation and frost protection applications where the traveling raingun system can provide targeted water delivery along tree or vine rows.
• Land Reclamation and Dust Suppression: Applicable for establishment irrigation on newly seeded areas, land rehabilitation projects, and dust control on construction sites or mining operations requiring mobile water distribution.
• Farms with Variable Water Supply Conditions: Particularly advantageous for operations experiencing fluctuating water pressure or flow rates, where the Turbo Speed system maintains performance consistency despite supply variations.
