to become the new exclusive UK importer for airter ® – the world ’ s only continuous and homogenously operating pneumatic soil aerator . In an exciting time for the partnership , two brand new airter ® machines are set to be unveiled to the UK market at BTME 2025 , with the airter ® neo and airter ® trike on show on stand 642 .
After more than three years in development , the airter ® neo and airter ® trike are set to revolutionise sports turf aeration , utilising high compressed air to not only break through surface compaction , but provide 100 % biological and effective control of pests , root-damaging grubs and Tipula larvae ( Leather Jackets ).
The new airter ® neo 12140 is equipped with 12 lances making it ideal for large golf greens and football pitches , which can be covered in less than three and a half hours . One of the largest models in the airter ® range , it ’ s set to deliver high productivity without excess weight preventing any further , unnecessary compaction .
Designed for smaller areas such as golf greens , the airter ® trike 8140 is an electrically driven , self-propelled unit featuring 8 lances for impressive aeration . Work is also underway which will see the airter ® trike become the first autonomous model in the range .
The working depth on both machines can also now be quickly and easily adjusted , tool-free , directly on the unit to suit operations between 8cm and 20cm in the ground .
