Otech linear moves machines

Linear moves are systems consisting of one or more spans which can be used autonomously. The water supply arrives via a pulled pipe or by drawing water from a lateral channel. The electricity supply comes from a pulled cable or from a generator loaded on the machine.

These machines can be adapted to suit the different layouts of field by following different circuits–linear or combined.

Otech is the indisputable European leader in this field with more than 2000 linear moves around the world.

Linear 2RM1

This machine allows a back and forth irrigation via a linear of 5 spans maximum. This model is the best variant for small rectangular fields.

• Tower with axle and 2 motorized wheels
• Hydraulic water supply via a flexible or a polyethylene high density pipe connected to a rotative elbow
• Can accommodate an electricity generator
• Possibility to add a cantilever scythe in order to increase the irrigated surface area
•  Furrow guidance system or steel cable
• Moveable version available

​

Linear 4RM1

Back and forth irrigation via a linear of 10 spans maximum.

• Hydraulic water supply via a flexible or a polyethylene high density pipe connected to an articulated elbow
• Tower on a chassis with 4 motorized wheels
• 2 joined axles for a better adaptation to the terrain
• Can accommodate an electricity generator and a diesel tank
• Possibility to add an overhang at each end of the spans
• Furrow guidance system or steel cable

Linear 4RM1-2

Back and forth irrigation with a linear move.

Two lines of spans mounted on both sides of the motor which allow the flow to be spread out and reduce water loss.

• Hydraulic water supply via a flexible or a polyethylene high density pipe connected to a rotative elbow
• Tower on a chassis with 4 motorized wheels
• 2 joined axles for a better adaptation to the terrain
• Can accommodate an electricity generator
• Possibility of hydraulic water supply via a loaded gen-set and a self-cleaning strainer by drawing water from a lateral channel at rates of up to 800 m³/h
• Furrow guidance system or steel cable

Linear 4RMVE

This model can perform combined programs (linear and circular) thanks to its articulate elbow adapted on a large bearing. Its structure, being similar to that of a pivot, allows the spans to do an about turn and therefore increase the irrigated surface area.

Its operation can be completely automated.

•  Hydraulic water supply via a flexible or a polyethylene high density pipe connected to an articulated elbow
• Tower on a chassis with 4 motorized wheels
• Can accommodate an electricity generator
• Furrow guidance system or steel cable

Linear 4RMG

The linear 4RMG can perform a combined program (linear and circular) identical to that of the linear 4RMVE.  A system which rotates the motorized wheels via a wired remote control allows the machine to change direction so it can be best adapted to the shape of the field.

• Hydraulic water supply via a flexible or a polyethylene high density pipe connected to an articulated elbow
• Tower on a chassis with 4 motorized wheels
• Can accommodate an electricity generator
• Furrow guidance system or steel cable

The model 4RMG-D can also be moved by a tractor with the help of a traction beam.
