Ocmis VIR5M Motor-Pump Integrated Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis VIR5M is a professional motor-pump integrated hard hose irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione in Italy. Engineered for large-scale agricultural operations, this advanced reel irrigation system features an integrated motor-pump unit mounted directly on the machine frame, enabling direct suction from open channels or operation as a booster pump. With hose configurations ranging from 100 mm to 140 mm (3.94 to 5.51 inches) in diameter and lengths extending up to 500 metres (1,640 feet), the VIR5M delivers exceptional coverage for extensive field irrigation whilst maintaining precise water application control.

At the heart of the VIR5M lies Ocmis's innovative Vario Rain system, powered by a sophisticated 4-speed VR gearbox with synchronised speed management that represents a significant technological advancement in hard hose irrigator design. This gearbox serves as the nerve centre of the machine, enabling optimal coordination between retrieval speed and water application rates. The system delivers substantial water savings through precise application control, exceptional user-friendliness through intuitive operation, and minimal pressure losses throughout the irrigation cycle. The hot-galvanised chassis with epoxy resin coating and polyurethane paint finish ensures long-term durability in demanding agricultural environments, whilst the comprehensive hydraulic system provides effortless operation of all major functions including trolley lifting, turntable rotation, and drawbar positioning.

Ideal Applications

Large-Scale Row Crop Irrigation: Ideal for maize, soybean, cotton, and vegetable production where extended coverage from a single setup point maximises labour efficiency and minimises field compaction from frequent moves.
Channel-Fed Irrigation Systems: Perfectly suited for operations with open channel water delivery infrastructure, where the integrated motor-pump enables direct suction without requiring permanent pumping stations or pressurised mainlines.
Pasture and Forage Production: Excellent for irrigating large pasture blocks, alfalfa, and forage crops where uniform water application across extended areas supports consistent biomass production and quality.
Supplemental Irrigation in Variable Rainfall Regions: Particularly valuable in areas with unreliable seasonal rainfall patterns, where the Vario Rain system's water-saving capabilities optimise limited water resources whilst maintaining crop productivity.
Undulating Terrain Irrigation: The variable speed gearbox and pressure monitoring systems enable effective irrigation on gently rolling topography by adjusting application rates to compensate for elevation changes and maintain uniform coverage.
High-Value Crop Production: Well-suited for irrigating premium crops where precise water management directly impacts quality and yield, with the synchronised speed system preventing over-application and water stress.
