The Core Recycler from Wiedenmann UK has begun a series of demo days, taking place up and down the country from now until the end of summer.

Over 60 customers of dealer, Ernest Doe and Sons at the Bennington and Esher branches were among the first to see it in action last month at Brocket Hall and Fulwell Golf Clubs.

The machine benefits from dual functions, collecting all cores from the surface and then recycling them, using a series of adjustable sieves. Indigenous soil, sand and organic matter is then recycled back to the surface and in most cases, more than 60% of the core is 'saved' where previously it would all have been wasted.

Wiedenmann Gmbh's joint managing director, Jurgen Wiedenmann, attended Doe's Esher event which was staged at Fulwell Golf Club, Middlesex and commented that seeing nine Wiedenmann machines in action all at once made him feel immensely proud. 

"As the differnet machines duties unfolded it wasn't just like watching a demo it was more like watching a show," he said.
