Ocmis VIR6M Motor-Pump Integrated Hard Hose Irrigator

Overview

The Ocmis VIR6M is a professional motor-pump integrated hard hose irrigator manufactured by Ocmis Irrigazione, Italy's premier irrigation equipment specialist. This self-contained irrigation system features an integrated motor-pump mounted directly on the machine frame, enabling direct suction from channels or functioning as a booster pump for enhanced versatility. Available with hose configurations ranging from 100-140 mm (3.94-5.51 in) diameter and lengths from 350-600 m (1148-1969 ft), the VIR6M delivers comprehensive coverage for medium to large-scale agricultural operations.

At the heart of the VIR6M is Ocmis's advanced 4-speed VR (Vario Rain) gearbox with synchronized speeds, representing the company's latest generation of hard hose irrigator technology. This sophisticated system delivers exceptional water savings through precise speed control, minimises pressure losses throughout the irrigation cycle, and provides user-friendly operation through hydraulic controls for all major functions. The machine's hot-galvanised chassis with epoxy resin coating and polyurethane paint finish ensures long-term durability in demanding agricultural environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated Motor-Pump System: Mounted directly on the machine frame for direct suction from channels or use as a booster pump, eliminating the need for separate pumping infrastructure and reducing installation complexity.
• 4-Speed VR Gearbox with Vario Rain Technology: Synchronized speed control optimises water application rates throughout the irrigation cycle, reducing water consumption while maintaining uniform coverage and minimising pressure losses.
• Comprehensive Hydraulic Control System: Hydraulic operation of trolley lifting, turntable rotation, drawbar lifting, and telescopic feet positioning enables precise control and easy adjustment with quick couplings to tractor hydraulics.
• Turbine with Built-In By-Pass: Flanged directly to the gearbox for efficient power transmission and simplified maintenance, with integrated by-pass for system protection and operational flexibility.
• Professional Raingun Options: Choice of REFLEX rainguns (Ø24-32 mm nozzles) for smaller configurations or EXPLORER rainguns (Ø28-40 mm nozzles) for larger setups, with complete nozzle sets included for application rate adjustment.
• Variable Track Wheel System: Galvanised raingun trolley mounted on adjustable track width wheels accommodates different crop row spacing and field conditions for versatile deployment.
• Triple-Layer Corrosion Protection: Hot-galvanised chassis coated with epoxy resin and finished with polyurethane paints provides superior protection against rust and chemical exposure in harsh agricultural environments.
• Premium Polyethylene Hose: Manufactured from unadulterated raw material for maximum durability, UV resistance, and long service life without contamination or degradation.
• Dual Water Inlet System: Galvanised double water inlet with Bauer Ø108 connections for 100-125 mm hoses and Ø133 for 135-140 mm hoses ensures secure, leak-free connections.
• Complete Monitoring Equipment: Glycerine bath pressure gauge, tachometer, and speed equaliser provide real-time operational feedback for optimised irrigation management.

Ideal Applications

• Medium to Large-Scale Field Crops: Cereal grains, maize, soybeans, cotton, and similar row crops requiring efficient coverage across extensive acreages with minimal labour input.
• Channel-Fed Irrigation Systems: Farms with canal or channel water sources where direct suction capability eliminates the need for permanent pumping stations and reduces infrastructure costs.
• Pasture and Fodder Production: Grasslands, alfalfa, and hay production where the long hose configurations provide wide coverage and the Vario Rain system delivers uniform water distribution.
• Low-Pressure Water Sources: Operations where the integrated booster pump function compensates for inadequate supply pressure, enabling effective irrigation from reservoirs, ponds, or low-pressure mains.
• Farms Requiring Water Conservation: Agricultural operations focused on sustainable water management where the 4-speed VR gearbox and Vario Rain technology optimise application rates and minimise waste.
• Variable Terrain Irrigation: Fields with moderate slopes or undulating topography where the hydraulic controls, telescopic feet, and variable track trolley system provide stability and adaptability.
