NEW SYNTHETIC MAINTENANCE TOOL LAUNCHED From Campey Turf Care Systems
Campey Turf Care Systems have launched the Uni-Scratch. The unit can be used for organic matter removal on natural grass hybrid carpet pitches when carrying out annual renovations.
The company says regularly maintaining synthetic pitches is vital because it prevents infill compaction. When a synthetic surface is regularly used the infill can become lodged and cause uneven hard and soft areas that eventually leads to drainage issues and flattening of the artificial fibres.
To prevent this, the Uni-Scratch has been developed to provide essential maintenance by de-compacting and redistributing the infill. The machine can also be used to evenly distribute the infill in synthetic carpets during installation.
idverde UK who manage a growing portfolio of sports pitches and facilities on behalf of several local authorities, is the first company in the United Kingdom to purchase the machine and operations manager, Steve Tingley, explains why.
He said, “We install and maintain a lot of hybrid carpet surfaces and we are always looking at new machines and how they can improve our operation. We bought the Uni-Scratch specifically to speed up and improve our maintenance procedure and it has met the aims we had for it.”
