Turfcare machinery manufacturer Redexim has double cause to celebrate after winning two categories in GroundsFest’s first innovation awards.
Marking excellence and innovation across landscaping, amenity management, turfcare and related industries, the awards attracted more than 100 entries, with winners picked by an expert judging panel led by HortWeek technical editor Sally Drury, alongside Howard Drury, Marcus Forster and Martin Towsey.
Redexim’s two turf maintenance accolades were:
New product – Redexim Scarivator
Stood the Test of Time – Redexim Verti-Drain
Innovation for hybrid surfaces
The Scarivator has been developed to meet growing demand for hybrid field renovation. Featuring adjustable tines for precise depth control, it ensures minimal damage to synthetic fibres while delivering effective soil loosening.
Its horizontal beams with angled spring tines reduce risk of fibre wrapping round a rotor and provide high performance when breaking up compacted soil on hybrid, synthetic and natural surfaces.
It also creates a sound seedbed for new rootzone application and works seamlessly alongside Redexim’s Turf-Stripper during renovation.
A proven classic
The renowned Verti-Drain has become an essential tool for turf professionals globally. Known for its deep tine aeration technology, Verti-Drain machines penetrate the soil with an innovative lifting action, breaking up compaction and creating vital space in the soil profile for air, water and roots.
Available in various models and working widths, it is said to offer a solution for every aeration challenge – from heavily compacted sportspitches to delicate turf in confined areas. Its enduring popularity is founded on reliability, performance and continuing contribution to healthier, more resilient turf.
“What makes our double award in the first ever GroundsFest Innovation Awards so special is that the judging panel comprised highly respected industry professionals – our peers – who understand the challenges we face and the work that goes into developing solutions,” said Paul Langford, Redexim UK director of commercial operations.
