Ocmis VIR5RM Motor-Pump Integrated Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis VIR5RM represents a sophisticated hard hose reel travelling irrigator engineered and manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione in Italy, one of Europe's leading irrigation equipment specialists. This machine is specifically designed for agricultural operations requiring autonomous water sourcing, featuring an integrated motor pump mounted directly on the machine frame that enables direct suction from channels, canals, or open water sources, or operates as a booster pump to supplement existing pressure. The VIR5RM delivers proven performance across large-scale crop irrigation, from field crops to orchards, combining Italian precision engineering with practical field reliability.

What distinguishes the VIR5RM is its advanced gearbox with synchronized speeds, which serves as the control centre for Ocmis' Vario Rain system technology. This next-generation approach provides operators with multiple competitive advantages including significant water savings through optimised application rates, exceptional user-friendliness with simplified control systems, and minimal pressure losses throughout the irrigation cycle. The integrated pump configuration eliminates the need for separate pumping infrastructure, reducing installation complexity and allowing the machine to operate in locations where pressurised water supplies are unavailable or insufficient, making it ideal for remote fields, supplementary irrigation projects, and operations drawing from natural water sources.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated Motor Pump System: Mounted directly on the machine frame for autonomous operation with direct suction from channels or open water sources, eliminating dependence on pressurised supply infrastructure and enabling irrigation in remote locations.
• Booster Pump Capability: Functions as a booster pump to supplement existing water pressure, providing operational flexibility for farms with variable water supply conditions or insufficient base pressure.
• Vario Rain System Technology: Advanced irrigation management system that optimises water distribution patterns and application rates, delivering measurable water savings while maintaining crop coverage and yield potential.
• Synchronized Speed Gearbox: Precision gearbox serves as the nerve centre of the machine, coordinating hose retrieval speed with water application for consistent coverage throughout the irrigation pass.
• Minimal Pressure Loss Design: Engineered fluid pathways and optimised component sizing maintain working pressure throughout the system, maximising irrigation efficiency and raingun performance even at extended hose lengths.
• User-Friendly Operation: Simplified control interface and automated functions reduce operator training requirements and allow quick setup adjustments for varying field conditions and crop requirements.
• Italian Engineering Quality: Manufactured in Italy by Ocmis Irrigazione with precision components and robust construction designed for long service life in demanding agricultural environments.
• Self-Contained Design: Complete irrigation solution on a single mobile chassis, reducing installation time and allowing rapid relocation between fields or irrigation zones without infrastructure modifications.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• Remote Field Irrigation: Perfect for agricultural land located away from pressurised water infrastructure, drawing directly from canals, channels, rivers, or ponds to deliver effective irrigation coverage.
• Supplementary Irrigation Systems: Ideal as a booster pump solution for farms with existing low-pressure water supplies that require additional pressure to reach distant fields or operate high-volume rainguns effectively.
• Large-Scale Row Crop Production: Suited to extensive plantings of maize, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and other field crops requiring mobile irrigation solutions with autonomous water sourcing capabilities.
• Orchard and Vineyard Irrigation: Applicable to permanent crop installations where water is available from surface sources and where the Vario Rain system's precision application benefits tree and vine production.
• Pasture and Fodder Irrigation: Effective for grazing operations and fodder crop production drawing from farm dams, irrigation channels, or natural watercourses without requiring fixed pumping stations.
• Contract Irrigation Services: Well-suited to irrigation contractors serving multiple properties with varying water supply infrastructure, offering operational flexibility across diverse client requirements.
