Ocmis VIR6 Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis VIR6 is a professional-grade hydraulic drive hard hose irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's leading irrigation technology specialist. Engineered for large-scale agricultural operations, this heavy-duty reel irrigator combines exceptional stability with the capability to handle large-diameter hoses up to 140 mm (5.51 in) and lengths up to 600 m (1969 ft). Powered by a sophisticated hydraulic drive system connected to a tractor's power take-off, the VIR6 delivers reliable, high-capacity irrigation across extensive field areas with minimal operator intervention.

What distinguishes the VIR6 from conventional hard hose irrigators is its integration of Ocmis' advanced Vario Rain system, centred around a precision 4-speed VR gearbox with synchronized speed control. This technological innovation enables dynamic adjustment of irrigation intensity throughout the watering cycle, delivering significant water savings whilst maintaining optimal application uniformity. The machine's robust construction features telescopic hydraulic stabilising feet for exceptional stability on uneven terrain, hydraulic lifting and rotation systems for effortless positioning, and a completely hot-galvanised chassis with epoxy resin coating and polyurethane paint finish for decades of corrosion-resistant service in demanding agricultural environments.

Key Features & Benefits

Vario Rain 4-Speed VR Gearbox: Synchronized speed control allows precise adjustment of travel speed and application rate throughout the irrigation cycle, optimising water distribution whilst minimising runoff and eliminating over-application in critical zones.
Telescopic Hydraulic Stabilising Feet: Automatically adjustable stabilisers provide rock-solid stability when handling heavy, large-diameter hoses on sloped or uneven terrain, preventing machine tipping and ensuring safe operation in challenging field conditions.
Complete Hydraulic Automation: Hydraulic lifting of trolley and drawbar, plus hydraulic turntable rotation, eliminate manual handling and reduce setup time, allowing a single operator to efficiently reposition the machine between irrigation runs.
Turbine with Integrated By-Pass: Gearbox-flanged turbine with built-in by-pass valve ensures consistent retrieval speed regardless of pressure fluctuations, whilst protecting the drive system from pressure spikes and hydraulic shock.
Variable Track Raingun Trolley: Galvanised trolley with adjustable wheel spacing accommodates different crop row configurations and terrain conditions, ensuring the raingun travels smoothly without damaging established crops.
Premium Polyethylene Hose: Hose manufactured from virgin, unadulterated raw material provides superior flexibility in cold conditions, resistance to UV degradation, and extended service life compared to recycled-content alternatives.
Triple-Layer Corrosion Protection: Hot galvanised steel chassis, epoxy resin coating, and polyurethane paint system create a comprehensive barrier against rust and chemical corrosion, essential for equipment exposed to fertilisers and agricultural chemicals.
Dual Water Inlet System: Galvanised double water inlet with Bauer quick-coupling (Ø 108 mm for smaller hoses, Ø 133 mm for 135-140 mm hoses) enables rapid connection changes and reduces downtime between irrigation sets.
Comprehensive Instrumentation: Glycerine-bath pressure gauge, tachometer, and speed equaliser provide real-time monitoring of operating parameters, enabling operators to verify correct performance and identify issues before they impact irrigation quality.

Ideal Applications

Large-Scale Field Crop Production: Particularly suited for irrigating extensive areas of cereals, maize, soya, and forage crops where coverage areas exceed 20 hectares and require high flow rates with minimal pressure loss.
Permanent and Semi-Permanent Pasture: Excellent for dairy and beef operations requiring consistent, uniform irrigation of grazing paddocks, with the telescopic stabilising feet providing secure operation on undulating pastoral terrain.
Industrial Crop Irrigation: Ideal for cotton, sugarcane, and other high-value industrial crops demanding precise water management, where the Vario Rain system's variable speed capability optimises application timing to match crop uptake patterns.
Challenging Topography: The combination of hydraulic stabilisation, variable track trolley, and robust construction makes the VIR6 particularly effective on sloped fields, irregular terrain, and conditions where standard irrigators struggle to maintain stability.
High-Capacity Municipal and Landscape Projects: Suitable for sports fields, golf courses, parks, and large landscape installations requiring professional-grade equipment capable of handling extended operating seasons with minimal maintenance.
Effluent and Waste Water Application: The corrosion-resistant galvanised and painted construction, combined with high-quality polyethylene hose, makes the VIR6 appropriate for applying treated effluent, dairy shed waste, and other nutrient-rich liquids to agricultural land.
