Praise for SISIS Javelin Aer-Aid

February 9, 2017/in Press Release/by Admin

Derby County head groundsman Nathan Scarff has praised the SISIS Javelin Aer-Aid 1500 tractor mounted aerator for all-year-round use to keep the playing surface at the iPro Stadium in peak condition.

The Javelin Aer-Aid 1500 from SISIS not only aerates with a vertical action, but also injects air into the root zone at a fast working rate, creating thousands of fissures. The cam trigger mechanism ensures that the air is always expelled at the bottom of the tine penetration, enabling treatment to be targeted precisely and consistently.

10mm diameter ‘tipped’ tines are spaced at 75mm (3ins) with depth of penetration, infinitely variable, to a maximum of 127mm (5ins). These air injection tines are specially designed to use the maximum air available from the compressor and produces clean, fresh, air at a constant rate of 88 litres per minute, while surface disturbance is kept to a minimum.

“We use the Javelin Aer-Aid every time we get a decent break in between games and that is all about trying to keep the pitch regulated in terms of how hard and how soft it is. We can aerate the pitch in under three hours and it can be played on immediately afterwards.

“The option of the air injection has proved to be invaluable to us. In a stadium environment we don’t get a lot of natural air movement or sunlight so the water movement isn’t particularly good. Being able to inject the air helps prevent any problems like black layer and it also great for helping to reduce the compaction from using the heavier machinery on the pitch.

Alternative tines for other operations, such as hollow coring before top dressing, are available to make this SISIS a truly versatile aerator.

“In my opinion, there is no better root zone aeration machine than the Javelin Aer-Aid on the market. I’d highly recommend the SISIS Aer-Aid – it’s very effective and it’s not been over complicated. It’s also really robust and well made.”

County FA award for Beer Groundsman Adkin

February 9, 2017/in Press Release/by Admin

BEER Albion Football Club’s Groundsman Peter Adkin has received the prestigious Groundsman of the Year award from the Devon County Football Association writes Richard Honnor.

Peter has been maintaining Beer’s football ground for over 20 years and the quality of the playing surface at The Furzebrake is testament to his dedication and skill, all provided on a voluntary basis.

It was no coincidence that last Saturday, Beer was one of the few grounds in the whole of Devon County where the pitch was playable after a week of heavy rain. Invariably during heavier winters than this, Peter has managed to get the game on when most of the County programme is washed out.

The occasion of his award was marked with a presentation by Bernard Leach, Chairman of Devon County FA prior to last Saturday’s home game with Elmore. The award ceremony was also attended attended by Paul Morrison, Devon County FA Chief Executive, and Roland Brown, Vice-Chairman of Devon and Exeter Football League.
