DrainTalent return to SALTEX

DrainTalent return to SALTEX: Following their announcement of an exclusive UK partnership with Hewitt Sportsturf, DrainTalent return to SALTEX to showcase their sustainable, circular soil management system.

The team will be on hand on stand F107 to discuss the benefits of balancing moisture content and how their award-winning system can contribute to high quality surfaces, capable of hosting more play with fewer cancellations.

DrainTalent return to SALTEX

Professional clubs throughout Europe are already experiencing the difference DrainTalent can make to pitch quality and plant health, with installations at a number of elite venues including FC Utrecht and FC Twente. With their stadium pitch due for renovation, FC Twente opted to invest in an improved drainage system which would enable the club to control and regulate the field conditions in detail. The answer was DrainTalent Pro – incorporated as part of a hybrid pitch installation during the summer break of 2024.

DrainTalent monitors the moisture within the profile in real-time to keep the soil conditions balanced, based on the pitch requirements and live weather conditions. Innovative and unique in its operation, the fully automated DrainTalent system can effectively extract water from the top layer of the pitch during periods of rainfall or re-infiltrate water when required, to support healthy growth and recovery. In addition to moisture management, DrainTalent can also pull air into the subsoil and through the profile to create conditions for vigorous growth and a more stable, hardwearing pitch.

The DrainTalent unit is compact and can be safely located indoors or outdoors pitch-side and is connected to a bi-directional under-pitch drainage system. Control of the system is simple, by adjusting settings on the digital panel on the unit itself, or remotely via your smart device. Either way, the outcome is a surface that is healthier, stronger, denser and more resilient to turf diseases and, in the longer-term, a pitch that is more sustainable to operate.

SALTEX will also be the launch platform for a brand-new innovation in undersoil heating technology. DrainTalent’s sister company HeatTalent will be discussing their electric field heating system – a never-before-seen concept which utilises renewable electrical energy to improve efficiency and reduce emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Installed at FC Utrecht last year and proving to be the perfect partner to DrainTalent’s moisture management system, HeatTalent delivers uniform heat to the profile with optimal moisture content.

More information on the sustainable solutions available from DrainTalent is available by speaking with the technical team on stand F107 at the NEC this October.

Alongside their range of world class pedestrian sprayers will be the Weed Wizard, a high-performance utility sprayer that also offers significant environmental and economic benefits to users via highly targeted weed control and minimal use of chemicals.

This ATV-mounted spraying system identifies weeds through digital imagery and makes a direct application onto weeds via multiple pencil jet nozzles. Each individually-controlled nozzle treats a specific area of 100mm across the machine’s width. The Weed Wizard targets weeds with a high degree of accuracy using ultra-low-drift nozzles combined with computer-aided spot spray technology to minimise overspray and reduce environmental impact. The intelligent application system is automatic, allowing the operator to focus on driving the vehicle.

Completing the line-up is the new Prodrift shrouded sprayer. With outstanding eco-credentials it offers users low-decibel operation combined with superior build quality including a tough rotomoulded boom cover and flexible integrated skirt for maximum accuracy around boundaries. The Prodrift keeps spray drift to an absolute minimum, allowing it to perform in less favourable weather whilst maintaining maximum accuracy and delivering unparalleled manoeuvrability due to its unique 3-wheel set up.

Using a high-power Li-on battery to power a 12v pump supplying 4 spray nozzles mounted into a spray hood, the Prodrift has 2 fixed rear wheels and a front mounted, single pivot wheel enabling it to spray up against boundary edges. Pressure control is easy to adjust using a highly visible pressure gauge.

All new models come with the Techneat guarantees of superior build quality, precision accuracy and drift reduction technology.
