Focusing on sustainability, the lightweight Imants Recyclingdresser (RCD) is used with smaller tractors and engineered to cut labour and material costs by recycling and redistributing substrate material across playing surfaces.
This would consist of either the existing soil or sand in the case of sand-based golf courses or where the natural composition of the soil substrate is sand based.
Weighing around 470 kg (1,036 lb), the unit includes a bespoke rear flap for improved soil management and enhanced operational efficiency, ensuring minimal disturbance to the surface, Campey says. It also suirs all areas where the native sand/soil is good.
The flap drags in material more efficiently and breaks it up faster, speeding up drying as it goes along – a sustainable maintenance practice that aerates the underlying soil vertically and horizontally, removing soil/sand from the rootzone and redistributing it. The process eliminates layering and compaction, increasing biological activity and extending the efficacy of existing fertilisers in the soil structure, Campey adds.
New smart folding legs double as protective side bars, ensuring transport and storage are simple and secure.
Working width is1,300 mm (51 in) working depth of 175 mm (6.9 in) and other specifications include the distance between digging blades of 260 mm (10.2 in),
The new RCD 1.3 only requires a tractor with 30hp and 540 PTO, has an operating speed of 3km/h (1.9 mph) and parked machine width of 1,575 mm (62 in).
The inclusion of the rear flap ensures better handling of displaced soil material, reducing waste and maintaining the integrity of the turf, suiting environmentally conscious operations and sportsfield managers seeking to balance high performance with ecological responsibility.
