The Fraise Mower: Efficient and Versatile Turf Renovation with Redexim
Turf managers often struggle to maintain healthy, pristine surfaces amid challenges such as removing excess thatch and managing unwanted grass species on natural sports surfaces. While hybrid turf is more resilient, it is subject to more foot traffic and requires frequent renovation. Our fraise mower called the Turf-Stripper is a versatile solution to these problems. This machine simplifies turf renovation, making it a must-have for sports grounds, golf courses and turf maintenance contractors.
Fraise Mower Features and Technology
Our Turf-Stripper focuses on precise removal of the natural root zone for renovation purposes on both types of system. However, in addition to precision, this fraise mower has been specifically designed for ease of use and renovation. The machine is available in two working widths: Turf- Stripper 1200 (1.20m) and Turf-Stripper 2000 (2.00m).
Multiple Rotor Options for Different Applications
- As standard, the Redexim fraise mower features a progressive configuration of spiralled fraise knives on the standard rotor to cut and lift the rootzone for natural surfaces. This rotor also allows the use of scarification knives.

Side Arm Conveyor for Easy Debris Removal
