Ocmis VIR9AM Motor-Pump Integrated Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis VIR9AM is a state-of-the-art motor-pump integrated hard hose irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, one of Italy's leading irrigation equipment specialists. This professional-grade machine combines advanced E-volution technology with the innovative Vario Rain system, featuring a synchronized 4-speed gearbox that serves as the nerve centre for precision water distribution. Designed for large-scale agricultural operations, the VIR9AM offers exceptional versatility with hose configurations ranging from 110 mm to 160 mm (4.33-6.30 in) in diameter and lengths extending from 350 m to 850 m (1148-2789 ft), making it suitable for irrigating substantial field areas with minimal repositioning.

What distinguishes the VIR9AM from conventional hard hose irrigators is its fully electrical hose-rewinding system that delivers superior precision whilst reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs compared to traditional hydraulic systems. The machine's technical avant-garde design incorporates a turbine-powered gearbox with synchronized speeds that optimize water application rates, minimize pressure losses, and conserve valuable water resources. Mounted on a robust 4-wheel chassis with hot-galvanized construction and protective epoxy resin coating, the VIR9AM features the comprehensive Aqua System computer for intelligent irrigation management, hydraulic telescopic feet for stable positioning on varied terrain, and compatibility with three professional raingun options—REFLEX, EXPLORER, and LANCER—to match different coverage requirements and operating pressures.

Key Features & Benefits
