Irtec GIF8SPM Motor-Pump Integrated Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

Irtec is a leading manufacturer of high-quality irrigation equipment, and their Hose Reels are designed to provide efficient and reliable solutions for various irrigation needs. The Irtec Hose Reels are engineered to deliver seamless water distribution, making them an ideal choice for both small-scale and large-scale agricultural applications.

The GIF8SPM is a Motor-Pump Integrated Hard Hose Irrigator that represents the pinnacle of all-in-one irrigation technology. This innovative model is specifically designed to lift water directly from canals and distribute it efficiently across your fields, eliminating the need for separate pumping equipment. With its integrated motor-pump mounted directly on the frame, the GIF8SPM can draw water from surface sources and, when necessary, function as a booster pump to ensure optimal pressure throughout your irrigation cycle. Manufactured in Italy with precision engineering and robust construction, this irrigator combines the functionality of multiple pieces of equipment into one comprehensive, ready-to-use solution.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated Motor-Pump System: Eliminates the need for separate pumping equipment by mounting the motor-pump directly on the frame, allowing water to be lifted directly from canals or used as a booster pump when required.
• Hydraulic Lifting Device: Features a hydraulic trolley lifting system that provides effortless positioning and operation, reducing manual labour and improving efficiency.
• Advanced Turntable Rotation: Hydraulic rotation system ensures smooth and precise positioning of the irrigator for optimal water distribution angles.
• Telescopic Hydraulic Feet: Adjustable stabilising feet provide excellent stability on uneven terrain and allow for precise levelling of the machine during operation.
• 4 Synchronised Speed Gearbox: Offers multiple speed options to match irrigation requirements with different field conditions, crop types, and water application rates.
• Power Take-Off (PTO) Drive: Connects directly to your tractor's PTO for reliable power transmission, ensuring consistent operation throughout the irrigation cycle.
• Built-In Turbine with By-Pass: Turbine flanged on the gearbox with integrated by-pass system provides smooth operation and protection against pressure surges.
• Galvanised Raingun Trolley: Variable track wheels and galvanised construction ensure durability and adaptability to different furrow widths.
• Dual Raingun Options: Available with either REFLEX or EXPLORER rainguns, each with comprehensive nozzle sets to match various flow rates and coverage requirements.
• Premium Polyethylene Hose: Made from unadulterated raw materials for maximum durability, flexibility, and resistance to UV degradation and chemicals.
• Dual Water Inlet System: Galvanised double water inlet accommodates different hose diameters with Bauer Ø 108 for smaller hoses and Bauer Ø 133 for larger configurations.
• Hot Galvanised Chassis: Superior corrosion protection through hot galvanisation, epoxy resin coating, and polyurethane paint finish ensures decades of reliable service.
• Heavy-Duty Wheels: Two 400/60-15.5 16PR 6F wheels provide excellent traction and weight distribution for easy field transport.
• Comprehensive Safety Features: Steel safety guards, swaged, galvanised, and painted for long-lasting protection of all moving components.
• Professional Monitoring Equipment: Includes glycerine bath pressure gauge, tachometer, and speed equaliser for precise operational control.
• Quick-Coupling Hydraulic System: Rapid couplings to tractor hydraulics enable fast connection and disconnection, reducing setup time between fields.

Technical Specifications

Available Hose Configurations

Raingun and Nozzle Systems

REFLEX Raingun System

The REFLEX raingun is designed for smaller to medium-sized irrigation applications and comes with a complete set of nozzles ranging from Ø 24 mm to Ø 32 mm. This system is paired with the 110 mm hose configurations, providing excellent performance for moderate flow rates and coverage areas. The REFLEX system is ideal for operations requiring precise water application with efficient energy use.

EXPLORER Raingun System

The EXPLORER raingun is engineered for larger-scale irrigation operations, featuring a comprehensive nozzle set from Ø 28 mm to Ø 40 mm. This heavy-duty raingun is matched with hose diameters from 120 mm to 150 mm, delivering high flow rates and extended throw distances. The EXPLORER system is perfect for large fields requiring maximum coverage and water distribution efficiency.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Row Crop Production: Perfect for irrigating extensive fields of maize, soybeans, cotton, and other row crops where water must be lifted from canals or rivers.
• Surface Water Source Irrigation: Specifically designed for operations that draw water directly from canals, ditches, streams, or ponds without existing pumping infrastructure.
• Pasture and Forage Irrigation: Ideal for maintaining productive grasslands and hay fields with consistent water application across large areas.
• Vegetable Production: Suitable for large-scale vegetable farms requiring reliable irrigation with the flexibility to draw from surface water sources.
• Orchards and Vineyards: Effective for irrigating permanent crops where portable pumping and distribution capabilities are essential.
• Supplemental Irrigation Systems: Functions as a booster pump when additional pressure is needed to reach distant fields or higher elevations.
• Contract Irrigation Services: Perfect for irrigation contractors who need a complete, self-contained system that can be quickly deployed at various client locations.
• Mixed Farming Operations: Versatile enough to handle diverse irrigation needs across different crop types and field configurations within a single operation.
