TURF MANAGEMENT
Prestigious preparatory school invests
in a GKB Rotobrush to take their
grounds to the next level
Witham Hall Preparatory School purchase a GKB
Rotobrush for Astroturf enhancement
ome to full sized Astroturf,
H grass cricket wicket, a
nine-hole golf course and an
all-weather wicket, there was no better
match than the GKB Rotobrush for
Witham Hall Preparatory School.
Alex Exton, Groundsman at Witham
Hall Preparatory School explains that
the GKB Rotobrush perfectly fits their
needs. “It is a compact and efficient
machine that it is perfect for what
I wanted it for.” He continues, “This
machine was affordable to which was
a big appeal. It’s rare you can get such
an impressive machine for such a great
price.”
As your synthetic sport pitches get
used, dirt becomes apparent. From
moss and algae to general wear
and tear, this ultimately can affect
the technical characteristics and
authentic appearance of the turf.
The GKB Rotobrush restores this by
tackling persistent contamination. Alex
explains, “We use our GKB Rotorbrush
to clean our Astro. Due to the size of
our grounds it can take a while however
this machine is the best of the best!”
The GKB Rotobrush enables you to
brush deeper and more effectively
where needed. Thanks to the rotating
brush disc that is provided with extra
rigid bristles, your artificial pitch
maintenance can be taken to the
next level. When the functioning of
normal brushing and cleaning stops,
the GKB Rotobrush continues. Alex
Exton said “The GKB Rotobrush gets
so close to the edges of the Astroturf,
especially where the carpet meets
the fence kickboard and also on the
artificial for the cricket.”
