Ocmis VIR7 Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis VIR7 is a professional-grade hydraulic drive hard hose irrigator engineered by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's renowned manufacturer of large-scale irrigation equipment. Designed for handling pipes of large dimensions with exceptional stability, this hard hose reel irrigator accommodates hose diameters from 100 mm to 150 mm (3.94 to 5.91 inches) and lengths extending up to 650 metres (2,133 feet), making it suitable for irrigating extensive agricultural lands with powerful water delivery capacity.

What distinguishes the VIR7 from conventional hard hose irrigators is its integration of the Vario Rain system, controlled through a sophisticated 4-speed VR gearbox that serves as the nerve centre of this new generation machine. This advanced synchronised speed gearbox delivers significant competitive advantages including substantial water savings, exceptional user-friendliness, and minimal pressure losses throughout operation. The machine's hydraulic lifting device for the trolley, hydraulic turntable rotation, and telescopic hydraulic feet provide comprehensive operational control and stability even on challenging terrain.

Key Features & Benefits

Vario Rain System with 4-Speed VR Gearbox: The synchronized speed transmission system optimises water application rates and enables precise irrigation management, reducing water consumption while maintaining uniform coverage across varying field conditions.
Hydraulic Lifting Device for Trolley: Provides effortless positioning and movement of the raingun trolley, eliminating manual handling and allowing operators to quickly adjust sprinkler height for different crops or field obstacles.
Telescopic Hydraulic Feet: Ensures superior stability on uneven terrain by allowing independent levelling adjustment of each support point, preventing machine tipping and maintaining consistent hose winding tension.
Turbine Flanged on Gearbox with Built-in By-Pass: The integrated turbine drive system delivers reliable power transmission directly from water flow, whilst the built-in by-pass prevents system damage during pressure fluctuations or emergency stops.
Galvanised Raingun Trolley on Variable Track Wheels: The adjustable track width accommodates different row spacings and crop configurations, whilst hot galvanisation provides long-term corrosion resistance even in harsh agricultural environments.
Hot Galvanised Chassis with Epoxy and Polyurethane Coating: Triple-layer protection combining galvanisation, epoxy resin treatment, and polyurethane paint creates exceptional resistance to corrosion, UV degradation, and chemical exposure, extending machine lifespan significantly.
Dual Raingun Compatibility: Accommodates both REFLEX (smaller diameter hoses) and EXPLORER (larger diameter hoses) rainguns with comprehensive nozzle sets, providing flexibility to match irrigation intensity to crop requirements and field sizes.
Polyethylene Hose from Unadulterated Raw Material: High-quality virgin polyethylene construction ensures consistent hose performance, resistance to kinking and abrasion, and safe water delivery without contamination from recycled materials.
Hydraulic Rotation of Turntable and Drawbar Lifting: Complete hydraulic control of machine positioning eliminates manual labour, enables precise alignment with water sources, and facilitates efficient field-to-field transport without disconnection.
Pressure Gauge in Glycerine Bath: The dampened pressure gauge provides accurate, vibration-free readings of system pressure, enabling operators to monitor performance and detect blockages or leaks immediately.

Ideal Applications

Large-Scale Field Crop Irrigation: Ideal for irrigating extensive areas of cereals, maize, soybeans, and other row crops where long hose reaches and high water volumes are required to cover large rectangular or square fields efficiently.
Pasture and Fodder Crop Production: Excellent for maintaining consistent moisture levels across large pasture areas, alfalfa fields, and grasslands used for livestock grazing or hay production, where the variable speed gearbox optimises water application for different growth stages.
Vegetable Production on Large Holdings: Suitable for commercial vegetable operations requiring powerful irrigation capacity across multiple large plots, with the raingun trolley's variable track width accommodating different row configurations.
Orchards and Permanent Crop Irrigation: The hydraulic stability features and precise speed control make the VIR7 appropriate for under-canopy or over-tree irrigation in established orchards, vineyards, and other permanent plantings where controlled water delivery prevents soil erosion.
Sports Turf and Golf Course Maintenance: Professional turf managers can utilise the Vario Rain system's precise speed control and nozzle selection to maintain fairways, roughs, and large turf areas with consistent coverage and minimal water waste.
Dust Suppression and Environmental Applications: Beyond agriculture, the VIR7's powerful throw distance and adjustable application rates make it suitable for dust control on construction sites, mining operations, and industrial yards requiring periodic large-area wetting.
