SCH
(Supplies) Ltd have developed a new adaptation to their popular
De-Compaction Rake (DCR), specifically to combat problems of algae
build up at the base of 3G sports surfaces.
These
surfaces can be prone to ‘caking’ together below the visible
area, and if not regularly maintained with the application of
suitable treatments, and combing through to loosen the material, can
attract algae and begin to degrade.
A 70
litre tank dispenses algaecide via a dribble bar. A row of heavy
duty scarifying tines follow immediately, de-compacting and opening
the surface up to allow the liquid to penetrate and begin its
essential work. A pair of levelling bars and a brush then follows to
provide the necessary grooming and finish.
The
unit can be towed or 3 point mounted. The standard model has a
working width of 1.3 meters, with an overall width of 1.7 meters.
SCH say they can supply various widths, and suggest a call to their
offices to discuss available sizes or any other bespoke specification
changes the customers may require.
The company is also keen to point out that the tank and dribble bar
adaptation can be provided for customers who are already in
possession of an SCH De-Compaction Rake.
