Ocmis Hippodrome

Overview

The OCMIS Hippodrome is an innovative 180° linear irrigation system manufactured by OCMIS Irrigazione S.p.A., Italy's leading irrigation engineering company. This self-moving boom irrigator features a central motor and revolving joint designed specifically for linear field irrigation, with flexible water supply options including PE hose, flexible hose, or direct channel connection. The system delivers precision irrigation coverage across rectangular or linear field configurations, making it an ideal solution for medium to large-scale agricultural operations requiring efficient water management.

What sets the Hippodrome apart is its proprietary OCMIS patent that enables fully autonomous direction reversal at the end of each irrigation run without operator intervention. This breakthrough technology eliminates the need for manual repositioning, significantly reducing labour requirements whilst maintaining continuous irrigation cycles. The intelligent reversing mechanism combined with the self-propelled boom design delivers unmatched operational efficiency for linear irrigation applications, allowing farmers to optimise water distribution whilst minimising operational oversight.

Key Features & Benefits

• Autonomous Direction Reversal: Proprietary OCMIS patent technology automatically reverses the boom at field ends without operator intervention, eliminating manual repositioning and reducing labour costs whilst maintaining continuous irrigation cycles.
• Self-Moving Boom Design: Central motor-driven boom travels independently along the irrigation path, providing consistent coverage across linear field layouts without requiring complex infrastructure or permanent installation.
• 180° Linear Coverage: Revolving joint mechanism enables precise 180-degree irrigation patterns, optimising water distribution for rectangular field configurations and maximising coverage efficiency.
• Flexible Water Supply Options: Accepts water from multiple sources including PE hose, flexible hose, or direct channel connection, providing installation flexibility to suit existing farm infrastructure and water delivery systems.
• Italian Engineering Excellence: Manufactured by OCMIS Irrigazione S.p.A. in Italy, incorporating decades of irrigation expertise and precision manufacturing to deliver reliable performance in demanding agricultural environments.
• Reduced Operational Oversight: Automated operation and intelligent reversal system minimise the need for constant monitoring, allowing farm personnel to focus on other critical operations whilst irrigation continues unattended.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• Rectangular Field Irrigation: Optimised for linear field layouts requiring 180-degree coverage patterns, particularly rectangular crop areas where traditional circular systems prove inefficient.
• Channel-Fed Agricultural Operations: Perfect for farms with existing irrigation channels or canal systems, allowing direct connection without requiring extensive hose infrastructure.
• Labour-Efficient Farming: Ideal for operations seeking to reduce manual labour requirements through automated irrigation cycles with autonomous reversal capability.
• Medium to Large-Scale Crop Production: Suited for commercial agricultural enterprises growing row crops, field vegetables, fodder crops, and other applications requiring consistent linear water distribution.
• Multi-Field Operations: Excellent for farms managing multiple adjacent linear fields where the self-moving boom can be relocated between irrigation zones as needed.
