Redexim’s Hybrid Turf Care Solution: Features and Benefits
The Redexim Scarivator is ideal for maintaining hybrid surfaces that combine natural grass with synthetic fibers. As always, the goal is to leave a playable and safe surface for all to use. Here are the unique features of the Scarivator that allow that to happen.
- Dual Horizontal Beams: The Redexim Scarivator features two horizontal beams with angled spring tines. When designing the Scarivator, careful attention was paid to ensuring the machine does not damage synthetic fibers. The Scarivator can effectively loosen the top layer of soil and thatch without decreasing the longevity of the fibers.
- Hybrid Surface Protection: The horizontal beams of the Scarivator reciprocate across each other. In hybrid carpet systems, one of the main concerns is the backing which lifts off because of rotating blades. The fibers wraps around the rotor and easily rips off. With the Scarivator having both adjustable tines and horizontal beams that agitate to loosen the thatch, the chances that the hybrid pitch is minimised. The Scarivator was designed to avoid fibers damage and discourage frequent replacement of synthetic turf.
- Adjustable Tines: The Scarivator’s tines can be adjusted for angle and depth. Adjustments of up to 35mm (1.38″) and the angle of the tines allow for different levels of aggressiveness depending on the project or task at hand. The infinitely adjustable working depth allows the groundsman to fine tune the Scarivator to work for their hybrid pitch.
- Compaction Relief: To maintain the playability and safety of hybrid sports surfaces, and even synthetic and natural surfaces, compaction must be effectively managed. The Scarivator is capable of breaking up compacted soil and hardpan surfaces.
Applications of the Scarivator
The Scarivator offers several solutions in the world of hybrid turf care, with a particular focus on renovation.
Initial Step for Renovation
The Scarivator can be used as the first step in hybrid turf renovation. Combined with the power of the Turf- Stripper, the Scarivator can loosen the uppermost surface, allowing the Turf-Stripper to work deeper by removing more rootzone in a single pass.
Used After the Turf-Stripper
In addition to being used before the Turf-Stripper, the Scarivator can also be used as a follow-up to the Turf-Stripper. When the Turf-Stripper is finished, the hard pan surface again needs to be loosened, and the Scarivator can loosen the soil in a single pass.
In testing, the combination of the Turf-Stripper and Scarivator has proven to be quite impressive, saving both time and money.
Although effective on hybrid surfaces, the Scarivator’s value is not limited to hybrid surfaces. It offers the same value for natural surface renovations and has proven effective for agitating and lifting infill on heavily worn synthetic surfaces.
Professional Sports Fields
Regular use of the Scarivator ensures that professional level hybrid sports fields remain safe and it is beneficial for their longevity. The Scarivator ensures playable conditions and soil that is not overly compact. As a result, players are less prone to injury and the field is a more desirable option for teams and leagues.
