Campey™ launches essential golf course maintenance tools

Campey™ launches essential golf course maintenance tools: Once again Campey Turf Care™ brings essential equipment to the Turf professional with the introduction of several new maintenance products for golf courses. The new products will be in addition to the excellent range of machinery that is already synonymous with the Campey name and manufacturers such as Dakota, Vredo, Imants, Foley Air 2G2, Koro and Imants!

First in the new line-up is the Fairway Falcon; an articulating, pull-type fairway brush, that uses a unique brushing system that contours to undulations. It covers a 4.5m span providing efficient, consistent performance. The unit can be towed by a wide range of equipment compatible with an electric 12-volt system and is ideal for pre-cut preparation, dew removal, de-thatching, disease control, worm cast and aeration core removal and brushing in topdressings. This new brush from Campey is so versatile it will quickly become an invaluable addition to your regular maintenance schedule, improving turf health and playing conditions.

Next up is the BM45 Scarifier with Hi-Tip Collection is a professional scarifier with fixed blade collection. Due to the blade fixing system, their replacement does not require the complete disassembly of the transmission and rotor, but only of the worn blades. The high-performance rotor guarantees excellent work in all conditions, even when the cutting edge of the blade is not in optimal condition. In addition, the collector with hydraulic discharge on the ground allows the material removed from the ground to be collected in a single pass. The high ventilation created by the rotor allows it to be used also as a leaf vacuum.

And last but not least is the latest Campey Seed Shot. This simple but very effective device is the perfect re-seeding tool for tackling very specific areas. The latest model is a smaller version to carry smaller seeds such as Bent grass particularly for use on fairways and golf greens. It is perfectly designed with 19 holes to accommodate smaller sized seed, injecting up to 4-5mm deep, in precise quantities and delivering optimal germination rates.

The team of Campey Turf Care Systems is looking forward to seeing you all at BTME 2025 in Harrogate!

Campey Turf Care Systems wins award

Campey Turf Care Systems wins award: Campey Turf Care Systems’ impact on the world stage, has been recognised by the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce (GMCC) with the 2024 Global Star Award.

The Macclesfield-based company received the accolade during the GMCC Excellence Awards at Manchester’s Albert Hall, with its outstanding achievements in innovation and global business growth making it a standout candidate.

As sport has grown globally, so has the demand for high-quality surfaces. Campey has developed with an ethos of solving the challenges turf professionals face in the UK, and by applying that worldwide, they have built a reputation as a leader of innovation.

The GMCC Excellence Awards showcase and celebrate business achievements and resilience, highlighting businesses, leaders, and teams that have demonstrated success within their industries and communities in Greater Manchester.

Speaking about the recognition, Managing Director Julia Campey said, “Winning the Global Star Award is a testament to our entire team’s hard work and dedication. We are proud to represent the turf industry on the global stage, and this award highlights our commitment to continually delivering exceptional service and driving innovation in the turf care industry.”

Campey’s place as the winner was secured due to its history, progress, and innovation in the global turf market. Campey Turf Care Systems, established in 1986 by Richard Campey, has provided sports turf professionals with industry-defining machinery for 38 years.

Richard Campey detected an untapped market need. He realised that a specialist supplier of high-quality, purpose-built equipment could enable turf managers to meet the in-creased demands placed on modern sports turf surfaces.

From FIFA World Cups to Wimbledon, and Salford City FC to Manchester United, there is rarely a tournament or event played on turf that hasn’t been prepared using a Campey machine.

What initially started out as a business offering sports turf maintenance work within the North West of the United Kingdom has now grown to be one of the UK’s leading independent distributors. Machinery is available from over 70 dealers throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and the USA. Campey continues to strengthen its international presence by establishing Campey Australia and new dealer networks around the world.

Irrespective of the region, Campey Turf Care Systems is not just about providing industry-leading machinery. The company is equally invested in education. It has conducted numerous European roadshows and demo days worldwide, offering country-specific training to esteemed professionals and volunteers, thereby consistently elevating the standard of play.

Campey’s innovative machinery, combined with education and customer service, is what has led to the exponential and continued growth of a family business from Macclesfield, which is now the number one supplier and manufacturer of specialised sports turf equipment in the world.

Campey brings compact maintenance to SALTEX

Campey brings compact maintenance to SALTEX: Campey Turf Systems is ready to showcase a select range of compact maintenance equipment at Saltex 2024, including the Dakota 310 Turf Tender, Vredo Turf Buddy and Campey SeedShot.

Providing precision turf equipment for every situation has always been a priority for Campey, and focusing on machines and tools that work in smaller areas is this year’s theme on Stand H120 at the NEC.

The largest machine on display will be the Dakota 310. The compact and very manoeuvrable dual spinner pedestrian top-dresser is designed to ensure you can take Dakota’s renowned spread anywhere. The six-meter-wide spread can be infinitely varied using the individual controls, making it perfect for spreading sand, rubber crumb and other top dressings on sports surfaces wherever they are located.

For precision overseeding where other machines can’t access, Campey has the Vredo Turf Buddy. Using the tried and tested double disc system, the Turf Buddy sows in four rows at a 35 mm distance, with the 15 cm discs cutting the soil open for the grass seed to be deposited at a depth between 10 and 20 mm before the wheel compacts the soil.

Sometimes, very specific areas need to be targeted, and the Campey Seed Shot is the perfect tool for the job. Using 19 holes designed for ryegrass or similar-sized seed, the tool injects up to 20 mm deep, ensuring precise quantities and optimal germination rates.

Campey product specialists will be on Stand H120 to discuss these machines and others in the Campey range, have a catch-up or discuss any questions over a coffee.

Campey Returns to GroundsFest 2024

Campey Returns to GroundsFest 2024: Campey Turf Care Systems are returning to GroundsFest with a top-tier lineup of machines, including the Imants ShockWave, Dakota Turf Tender, Foley Company Air2G2 336, and Campey UNIRAKE©, which are all poised for live demonstrations.

GroundsFest’s blend of outdoor and indoor stands provides an ideal platform for Campey to offer visitors hands-on insights into the operation and benefits of their machines. Reflecting on last year’s event, Campey Turf Care Director Lee Morgado commented:

Campey Returns to GroundsFest 2024

Campey Returns to GroundsFest 2024

“GroundsFest prioritises the visitor experience, and live demos are a key component. Showing the equipment in action is invaluable, and it allows us to solve more problems for people on the stand because they can physically see what our solutions can do.

“We can demonstrate performance, operational ease, and expected results, and that really allows us to engage with customers more effectively.”

Campey Machines in Action

For 2024, Campey has selected a diverse array of maintenance machines that cover aeration, top-dressing and surface grooming. The UNIRAKE© stands out for its versatility in managing organic matter. Users can easily adjust the grooming severity to remove varying amounts of material or to stand the sward up for growth, with adjustments taking less than 30 seconds.

Wide Area and Focused Aeration

The Imants ShockWave will demonstrate wide-area aeration. Renowned as the best linear compactor for heavily used areas, it revitalises fine turf and sports fields by alleviating soil compaction, enhancing aeration, and removing surface water, all with minimal surface disruption to ensure quick and safe play resumption.

For reactive, preventative and routine aeration on smaller or concentrated areas, the Foley Air2G2 336 remains the leading pedestrian aerator. Its ability to deliver instant results and allow immediate play has cemented its place in the industry since its debut and the chance to see it in action shouldn’t be missed.

Precision Topdressing

Dakota Turf Tenders are renowned for their consistency and infinite adjustment set-up. With a model for every application, it is the best top-dressing option in every situation.

Electric control boxes enable users to set and adjust the spread width precisely, ensuring an optimal application every time while spreading wet or dry material. Getting hands-on with the controls of this machine is a fantastic opportunity to see how it can benefit your own operation.

Precision Overseeding

For areas needing overseeding where it is not possible to work with large machines, the Vredo Turf Buddy is the perfect fit. Designed for small repairs on sports fields and golf courses, the Vredo Turf Buddy is known for its precision overseeding with its slit seeding operation. It is an essential piece of equipment for improving and maintaining the quality of grass surfaces on golf courses, sports fields, and other similar areas.

For even more targeted seeding post-game, the new Campey Seed Shot deposits a precise quantity of seed into the soil for optimal germination rates.

Campey Specialists for Expert Advice

Regardless of what turf you manage, a Campey product specialist will be on hand to provide expert advice, talk turf or give live demonstrations during the two-day event.
