Ocmis FV10 Hydraulic Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis FV10 is a professional-grade hydraulic drive hard hose irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's renowned irrigation equipment specialist. Engineered for large-scale agricultural operations, this machine combines exceptional stability with advanced hydraulic control systems to manage large-diameter hoses up to 140 mm (5.51 in) and lengths extending to 820 m (2690 ft). Built on a robust four-wheel chassis with telescopic hydraulic stabilization, the FV10 delivers reliable performance across diverse terrain conditions whilst maintaining precise hose management throughout extended irrigation cycles.

What distinguishes the FV10 from conventional hard hose irrigators is its integration of the Vario Rain system with a synchronized 4-speed VR gearbox, representing Ocmis's latest generation of intelligent irrigation technology. This sophisticated drivetrain serves as the machine's nerve centre, coordinating turbine power with precise hose retraction speeds to optimize water distribution patterns whilst minimizing pressure losses. The hydraulic architecture extends to every major function—from drawbar lifting and trolley elevation to lateral reverse pull—enabling operators to configure the machine for field conditions without manual labour. Combined with the Aqua System computer and solar panel power supply, the FV10 delivers water-efficient irrigation with user-friendly operation suited to both experienced operators and agricultural enterprises seeking to reduce water consumption.

Key Features & Benefits

• 4-Speed Vario Rain Gearbox: Synchronized speed control coordinates hose retraction with turbine power output, eliminating pressure fluctuations and ensuring consistent application rates across the entire irrigated strip whilst reducing water wastage through precise flow management.
• Comprehensive Hydraulic Control System: Hydraulic operation of drawbar lifting, trolley elevation, telescopic stabilizer feet, and lateral reverse pull eliminates manual handling, reduces setup time, and enables one-person operation even when managing the largest hose configurations.
• Four-Wheel Chassis with Telescopic Stabilization: Superior weight distribution across four 15.0/70-18 wheels combined with double stabilizer legs mounted on the drawbar provides exceptional stability when handling large-diameter hoses, preventing machine movement during high-pressure operation and enabling safe deployment on sloped terrain.
• Aqua System Computer with Solar Power: Integrated irrigation management computer monitors and controls operational parameters whilst solar panel power supply ensures continuous operation without battery drain, providing real-time data for optimizing water application and reducing energy dependency.
• Double Chain Hose Retraction: Dual-chain drive system distributes mechanical stress evenly across the reel mechanism, extending component lifespan whilst ensuring smooth, controlled hose retrieval even under high-pressure conditions with heavy hose configurations.
• Variable-Track Raingun Trolley: Galvanized trolley with adjustable wheel spacing positions the hose directly on tractor wheel tracks, preventing crop damage during irrigation whilst automatic stabilizer legs maintain raingun alignment throughout the retraction cycle for uniform water distribution.
• Turbine with Integrated Double By-Pass: Flange-mounted turbine featuring dual by-pass valves protects the hydraulic system from pressure spikes whilst maintaining consistent drive power, ensuring reliable operation across varying water pressure conditions and extending component longevity.
• Hot-Galvanized and Polyurethane Protection: Chassis undergoes hot galvanization followed by epoxy resin coating and polyurethane paint application, providing triple-layer corrosion resistance that withstands harsh agricultural environments, chemical exposure, and decades of outdoor operation with minimal maintenance.
• Premium Polyethylene Hose Construction: Hoses manufactured from virgin polyethylene raw material without recycled content deliver superior pressure resistance, UV stability, and flexibility compared to economy alternatives, maintaining consistent performance characteristics throughout extended service life.
• EXPLORER Raingun with Comprehensive Nozzle Set: Complete nozzle range from Ø 28 to Ø 40 mm enables precise matching of flow rate and throw diameter to field dimensions, crop requirements, and available water pressure, maximizing coverage efficiency whilst minimizing application intensity for sensitive crops.

Ideal Applications

• Large-Scale Field Crops: Extensive cereal, maize, soybean, and forage production operations requiring irrigation coverage across fields exceeding 50 hectares where long hose reach and consistent application rates maximize productivity whilst minimizing labour requirements.
• High-Value Vegetable Production: Commercial vegetable operations growing crops such as potatoes, carrots, onions, and processing vegetables where precise water management through adjustable nozzle selection and synchronized retraction speeds optimize yield quality whilst preventing overwatering stress.
• Pasture and Fodder Irrigation: Livestock operations maintaining irrigated pastures, hay fields, and silage crops where the variable-track trolley system prevents hose drag damage to established grass stands whilst the comprehensive nozzle range adapts to varying growth stages and seasonal water requirements.
• Sloped and Irregular Terrain: Agricultural land with moderate topographical variation where the four-wheel chassis configuration combined with telescopic hydraulic stabilization maintains secure anchoring and prevents lateral movement during irrigation on slopes up to 15 degrees.
• Water Conservation Priority Operations: Farms operating under water allocation restrictions or sustainability certifications where the Vario Rain system's pressure loss minimization and Aqua System computer monitoring reduce water consumption whilst maintaining agronomic effectiveness and regulatory compliance.
• Contract Irrigation Services: Professional irrigation contractors serving multiple clients with diverse field sizes and crop types, where the ten available hose configurations and comprehensive nozzle selection enable rapid adaptation to varying project requirements without equipment changes.
