Ocmis R2A Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis R2A is a turbine drive hard hose irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's leading irrigation equipment specialist. This professional-grade reel irrigation system is engineered for large-scale agricultural operations requiring reliable, high-performance water distribution across extensive field areas. Available in eight distinct hose configurations ranging from 70 mm to 100 mm (2.76 to 3.94 inches) in diameter and 170 m to 350 m (558 to 1148 feet) in length, the R2A delivers exceptional versatility for diverse crop types, field sizes, and topographical conditions.

What distinguishes the R2A from conventional hard hose irrigators is Ocmis's proprietary Turbo Speed system, which dramatically reduces turbine load loss whilst enabling a wide range of retrieval speeds even under low flow and pressure conditions. This innovative drive technology, combined with a robust 3-speed gearbox and turbine flanged directly to the gearbox with integrated bypass, ensures consistent performance with minimal energy consumption. The machine's hot galvanised chassis, epoxy resin-coated reel with polyurethane paint finish, and galvanised steel components deliver exceptional corrosion resistance and longevity, making the R2A one of the best-selling irrigators in Ocmis's professional range.

Key Features & Benefits

• Turbo Speed System: Reduces turbine load loss and provides extensive speed range flexibility even with minimal inlet pressures and flow rates, optimising energy efficiency and operational adaptability across varying field conditions.
• 3-Speed Gearbox with PTO: Offers precise control over retrieval speed with multiple gear ratios, whilst the power take-off option enables external drive capabilities for specialised applications or auxiliary equipment operation.
• Hydraulic Trolley Lifting with Telescopic Feet: Hand pump-operated hydraulic feet combined with telescopic mechanical stabilisers provide easy positioning, secure anchoring on uneven terrain, and rapid setup without heavy machinery assistance.
• Dual Raingun Configuration Options: Equipped with either ROYAL raingun (for 70-82 mm hose configurations with Ø16-22 mm nozzles) or REFLEX raingun (for 90-100 mm configurations with Ø24-32 mm nozzles), matching irrigation intensity to specific crop water requirements.
• Premium Hose Construction: Polyethylene hose manufactured exclusively from unadulterated raw material ensures consistent wall thickness, superior pressure resistance, extended service life, and reliable performance throughout thousands of irrigation cycles.
• Galvanised Variable Track Raingun Trolley: Adjustable wheel track width accommodates different row spacings whilst hot-dip galvanisation protects against corrosion in constant water exposure conditions.
• Hot Galvanised Chassis and Turret: Complete structural galvanisation combined with epoxy resin coating and polyurethane paint creates multiple corrosion barriers, ensuring decades of reliable operation in harsh agricultural environments.
• Glycerine Bath Pressure Gauge: Fluid-dampened gauge eliminates needle vibration for accurate pressure readings and extended instrument life, enabling precise monitoring of operating conditions.
• Integrated Safety Guards: Swaged galvanised steel safety guards protect operators from moving components whilst maintaining easy access for routine maintenance and adjustments.
• 10.0/80 R12 8PR Agricultural Wheels: Heavy-duty 5-stud agricultural tyres provide excellent traction and stability during repositioning whilst minimising soil compaction and turf damage.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Row Crop Irrigation: Ideal for maize, cotton, soybean, and vegetable production where consistent water distribution across extensive field areas is essential for uniform crop development and yield optimisation.
• Forage and Pasture Management: Excellent for alfalfa, clover, and grass production where the variable speed control and raingun options enable precise application rates matched to different growth stages and soil moisture conditions.
• Orchard and Vineyard Frost Protection: Suitable for overnight frost protection applications in permanent crops where the Turbo Speed system maintains reliable operation at low pressures during extended irrigation cycles.
• Sports Turf and Golf Course Maintenance: Applicable for fairways, athletic fields, and large turf areas requiring gentle application rates and adjustable throw distances to match different surface conditions and establishment requirements.
• Contract Irrigation Services: Well-suited for irrigation contractors servicing multiple properties where the eight hose configuration options provide flexibility to match varying field dimensions, water sources, and client requirements.
• Dust Suppression for Mining and Construction: Adaptable for industrial dust control applications on haul roads, stockpiles, and construction sites where the robust galvanised construction withstands harsh operating environments.
