airter ® the sports turf care of the future with active aerification
Unique in the world , the airter ® loosens the turf layers homogeneously from 8 cm to a depth of more than 24 cm - with adjustable compressed air and in one continuous operation . 14 specially developed injection lances with different types of nozzles inject up to one million litres of air per working process into the ground of a football pitch . With regard to water infiltration , an improvement can be measured immediately on the treated surfaces . Even football pitches that tend to become waterlogged due to an unfavourable structural quality in terms of material selection and grain size distribution ; soil properties as well as an unsuitable choice of substrate could be “ defused ” by working with the airter ® with 2 to 9 bars of air pressure .
The airter as a maintenance machine can sustainably and extremely loosen strongly compacted sports turf soils with compressed air . It reaches all rooted areas and loosens the turf base layer there horizontally and homogeneously . These are the facts :
• Proven soil loosening of the turf base layer of at least 30 %, the soil loosening lasts up to 4 weeks
• At the same time a 23 % increase in lawn clippings was measured
• As well as up to 48 % better water drainage in the soil
• Also the unwanted grubs ( May and June beetles ) and the Tipula larvae can be controlled effectively with the airter and biologically with compressed air to 100 %.
• The oxygen from the aeration provides stronger roots and vital plant growth
• No more black layer !
