Elite is the name of a line of hose reel irrigators made by Irrimec of Calendasco (Piacenza) for professionals in search of high-performance machines able to deliver the highest performance. These “top of the line” machines stand out for reliability and high operational capacity, enriching a catalogue in which Irrimec, a highly specialized company, can boast many successful machines between irrigation booms, pivots, self-propelled irrigators, and motor pump units. As explained in a technical note from the manufacturer, the hose reel irrigators of the Elite series have a range divided into three basic models. The “500”, “700”, and “800 Tandem” are the result of an intense and thorough collaboration between the company from Piacenza and some of the most competent engineers and designers of the irrigation sector. This collaboration resulted in a line of technologically advanced equipment that stands out not only for its structural strength (thanks to the use of high-strength steel and steel roller bearings for rolling the pipe) but for its great ease of use. Among their strengths, the Elite irrigators include a high-efficiency turbine (up to 130 cubic metres per hour) with pressures from 0.3 to 0.5 bar; an oversized transmission system; large stabilizers; steel casing. Irrimec customers also greatly appreciate the design of these applications, designed with innovative livery, with a new generation coating technique, which promises to satisfy operators sensitive to both performance as aesthetics.
