Ocmis R2/1B Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis R2/1B is a hard hose reel travelling irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's renowned leader in professional irrigation equipment. As one of the best-selling models in the Ocmis range, this robust irrigator combines high-performance capabilities with low running and maintenance costs, making it a trusted choice for agriculturalists worldwide. Designed to handle hose configurations from 100-110 mm (3.94-4.33 in) diameter and lengths up to 300 m (984 ft), the R2/1B delivers reliable irrigation across medium to large-scale agricultural operations.

What sets the R2/1B apart is the innovative Turbo Speed system, which significantly reduces turbine load loss whilst enabling access to a wide range of machine speeds even when operating with very low flows and inlet pressures. This advanced technology, combined with the machine's 6-speed gearbox and power take-off capability, provides exceptional versatility and user-friendliness in the field. The hot galvanized chassis, epoxy resin-coated reel with polyurethane paint finish, and telescopic mechanical feet ensure durability and adaptability across diverse terrain and climate conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Turbo Speed System: Innovative turbine technology reduces load loss and enables variable speed control even with low inlet pressures and flow rates, optimising irrigation efficiency across changing field conditions.
• 6-Speed Gearbox with Power Take-Off: Provides precise control over travel speed and watering rates, allowing operators to match irrigation intensity to crop requirements and soil infiltration rates.
• Trolley Lifting Hydraulic Feet with Pump: Simplifies positioning and repositioning of the machine in the field, reducing labour requirements and enabling efficient movement between irrigation sets.
• Telescopic Mechanical Feet: Ensures stable operation on uneven terrain and allows height adjustment to accommodate varying field conditions and drainage requirements.
• Hot Galvanized Chassis and Turret: Superior corrosion protection extends machine lifespan significantly, particularly valuable in humid climates or when using chemigation applications.
• Epoxy Resin-Coated Reel with Polyurethane Paint: Multi-layer protection system safeguards the reel from weathering, chemical exposure, and mechanical wear, ensuring long-term reliability.
• REFLEX Raingun with Interchangeable Nozzles: Complete nozzle set from Ø 24 to Ø 32 mm enables precise flow and pattern adjustment to match water availability, pressure conditions, and crop water requirements.
• Galvanized Raingun Trolley on Variable Track Wheels: Adjustable wheel track accommodates different row spacings and prevents crop damage during irrigation passes.
• Polyethylene Hose from Unadulterated Raw Material: Premium hose construction ensures flexibility, durability, and resistance to UV degradation, algae growth, and chemical deterioration.
• Turbine Flanged on Gearbox with Built-in By-Pass: Integrated design reduces connection points and potential leak sources whilst the by-pass function protects against pressure surges.

Ideal Applications

• Forage and Pasture Production: Ideal for irrigating alfalfa, clover, and grass crops where consistent moisture delivery supports multiple cutting cycles and sustained yields throughout the growing season.
• Cereal and Grain Crops: Well-suited for wheat, maize, barley, and sorghum production where medium to large field sizes require reliable coverage and the flexibility to adjust irrigation intensity during critical growth stages.
• Vegetable Crop Production: Effective for potato, onion, carrot, and other vegetable crops requiring uniform water distribution across extensive planted areas with variable watering requirements.
• Amenity and Turf Management: Applicable to sports fields, golf courses, and landscaped areas where the adjustable speed and nozzle configuration allow precise control over application rates.
• Orchards and Permanent Crops: Suitable for under-canopy irrigation in orchards and vineyards where the variable track trolley can navigate between rows without damaging permanent plantings.
• Contract Irrigation Services: The machine's versatility, robust construction, and range of hose configurations make it an excellent choice for contractors serving multiple farms with varying field sizes and crop types.
