Aeration Machines
In the late ‘70s, the Redexim line was born from the innovation of Cees de Bree and Arie-Jan de Ridder, who developed the Verti-Drain® aerator machine to efficiently remove excess water from the turf. Forty years later, the Verti-Drain® continues to lead in the market for aeration machinery, enhancing root zone water, air, and nutrient flow. Redexim’s pioneering mechanical aerator, vital in sports and golf turf management, has become synonymous with quality aeration. Redexim’s commitment to turf care innovation ensures that its aerators achieve superior turf quality across various landscapes.
Redexim’s Aeration Machines: Setting The Standard
Redexim, the inventor of the original Verti-Drain®, offers a comprehensive range of aerators, including Verti-Quake, Verti-Core, and spike aerators like Level-Spike and Multi-Spike. These aeration machines address soil compaction and root zone oxygenation, critical for plant health. Designed to endure tough conditions, Redexim aerators meet diverse turf management needs. Their construction and innovative designs ensure that every Redexim aerator, from precision deep tine models to versatile spike options, delivers effective and efficient soil care solutions for any facility.
Deep Tine Aeration
Deep tine aeration with the Verti-Drain® is essential for alleviating soil compaction and promoting deeper root growth, especially on golf fairways and sports fields. Its ability to penetrate deeply and facilitate essential air and water movement has become such a recognized term in turf care that it has become a verb. With adjustable depth and tine options, it offers customisation for different soil types and conditions. The Verti-Drain allows for efficient operation across various turf, ensuring improved soil health and turf vitality.
Linear Aeration
Linear aeration using the Verti-Quake® aerator is designed to minimise surface disruption while effectively decompacting soil, which is ideal for golf greens and sports pitches. The Verti-Quake uses a wave action as part of it’s aeration process. The most important benefit of the Verti-Quake is the minimal surface disruption. When Verti-Quake aeration is completed, immediate turf use will be feasible. It creates deep, continuous channels that enhance water and air infiltration, promoting root growth even in wet conditions.
Core Aeration
Core aeration, executed with the Verti-Core®, involves removing soil plugs to alleviate compaction. This is a common practice used on golf greens and tees. The Verti-Core is known to improve drainage and aid turf recovery. It ensures a uniform hole pattern and is known for its speed. The Verti-Core lets you see results quickly and enhances turf aesthetics and health. Combining the Verti-Core with a Redexim topdressing machine can further improve soil structure and promote healthy turf growth..
Spike Aeration
Spike aeration with Redexim’s Level-Spike and Multi-Spike enhances soil aeration with minimal turf disturbance. Spike aeration suits various turf settings, including landscaped areas and sports fields. The Level-Spike and Multi-Spike aerators are ideal for efficient soil penetration with quick recovery. They improve air and moisture access to the soil, aiding in better drainage and reducing environmental stress. The Spike Aerators from Redexim are ideal for routine maintenance and improving overall turf resilience.
Frequently Asked Questions About Aeration Machines
What is the main differences between deep tine aeration and core aeration?
Deep tine aeation punches holes into the soil with solid tines that do not remove any soil whereas with core aeration hollow tines ares used to remove plugs of the soil profile. Deep tine aeration is less disruptive and can be done more frequently then core aeration.
What are the benefits of using aeration machines?
Compaction exists within the soil structure when it has been forced together; making it difficult, if not impossible for the roots of plants to access nutrients, water and oxygen. Aerators are used to decompact the soil and rectify the issue of compaction thus creating the best possible conditions for the grass plant to grow resulting in a health, more resilient turf surface. Aeration plays a crucial role in maintaining safe, high-performance turf surfaces for athletes, helping to optimise playing conditions, minimize injury risks, and prolong the lifespan of sports fields.
What mechanisms can be used for aeration machines?
Aeration machines can use various mechanisms such as tines to create holes or blades to create slits in the soil.
Can overseeding be done immediatly after aerating?
Overseeding immediately after aerating is recommended to take advantage of the freshly created holes and maximise seed-to-soil contact. Waiting too long may allow the soil to compact again, reducing the effectiveness of overseeding.
What factors should be considered when choosing an aeartor?
Factors to consider include the size of your turf surface, soil type, budget, available vehicle, and personal preferences. It’s essential to choose a machine that suits your specific needs and turf conditions.
