/in , , /by

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!

New Origin launches at BTME

/in , , /by

New Origin launches at BTME: Origin Amenity Solutions (OAS), a leader in premium turf care solutions, will launch two groundbreaking fertiliser ranges at BTME 2025: their revolutionary Xtend CRF (Controlled Release Fertiliser) range and their precision-focused Microlite range.

These launches result from OAS’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge innovations for turf professionals.

Visitors to BTME 2025 will be able to explore OAS’s products in Hall 2, Stand 230, and discover TurfKeeper, OAS’s innovative digital platform, at Stand 200.

Xtend CRF: Featuring innovative technology

The Xtend CRF range is the first fertiliser on the market to benefit from two key fertiliser technologies, which, when combined, provide a true controlled release of nutrients.

The Xtend CRF range will feature four products. All will contain Origin’s ProTect controlled release technology, which uses temperature-primed nutrient release blended with inhibited nitrogen to slow the release. When formulated with freely available nitrogen, this combination provides a quick turf response followed by a consistent release of nutrients over three months.

Microlite: Precision Fertiliser for Optimal Performance

Launching alongside Xtend CRF is Microlite, a premium micro-granular fertiliser range containing multiple nitrogen sources for a consistent release of nutrients without any significant growth flushes. Micro-granule for maximum performance, Microlite can be applied at low application rates with superior coverage over other products in the market. The granules disperse quickly into the sward and break down rapidly to become available for plant uptake. The inclusion of methylene urea in some grades improves the longevity and slower availability of nitrogen.

TurfKeeper – A Digital Solution for Turf Management

OAS will also feature the TurfKeeper digital platform at stand 200, showcasing its capabilities to improve operational efficiency in turf management. TurfKeeper helps turf professionals manage tasks such as job scheduling, resource management, and performance tracking, providing valuable insights for optimised surface performance.

Origin Amenity Solutions Launches Improved IMPACT Paint Range

/in , /by

Origin Amenity Solutions Launches Improved IMPACT Paint Range: Maintaining world-class sports pitches requires innovation and efficiency. Origin Amenity Solutions (OAS) delivers an industry-leading line-marking solution with its new and improved Impact paint range for football and Rugby groundskeepers and sports turf professionals. You can line your pitch with as Little as 1.1 litres of Impact Paint.

Manufactured in the UK within the Origin group and sold exclusively by OAS, Impact is an award-winning range of ready-to-use paints designed with cost-savings, convenience and conservation in mind. Whether using a pedestrian line marking machine, such as the iGO, or advanced GPS-guided robotics, like the TinyLineMarker robot, Impact paints ensure crisp, vibrant, and environmentally responsible pitch markings.

The Game-Changing Paint System

Over two decades ago, Impact ready-to-use paint system began a revolution in line marking paint and spray machinery technology. Designed for convenience and conservation, Impact combines superior performance with significant cost and time savings, making it a preferred choice for professionals. This advanced system enables up to nine standard-sized football pitches to be marked from a single 10-litre drum—without the need to add water.

For those looking to optimise their line-marking processes further, combining Impact paints with the TinyLineMarker robots provides unparalleled precision and efficiency. The advanced robotic line markers integrate seamlessly with the Impact paint system, automating the application process while ensuring consistently sharp and vibrant lines.

Impact Cone Nozzle Technology

Using Impact cone nozzle technology with Impact paints ensures that the paint goes further.  The paints are formulated with superior flowability to assist the right droplet atomisation through these unique, specially engineered nozzles. Excellent leaf coverage and consistent line width can be easily achieved.

This innovation ensures consistent atomisation of paint droplets, allowing precise and efficient application. With just 1.1 to 1.5 litres of Impact paint, a full-sized football pitch can be over-marked, significantly reducing paint consumption, labour, and transport requirements. By cutting down on frequent trips for multi-site markings, users can lower CO2 emissions and particulate diesel pollution—a win for both budgets and the environment.

5-litre Eco-Bags have been introduced for ease of storage and disposal and 70% less plastic waste. They are available within the Impact Range Pro, Premium, and Elite. When loaded onto a pedestrian iGO system spray machine, three 5-litre bags can mark up to 18 pitches without reloading. This will significantly improve efficiency, reducing downtime while minimising handling and waste. It reaffirms the importance of using impact paint as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution.

The Impact Paint Range.

The newly revised and improved Impact paint range includes options for every marking requirement:

  • Impact Pro: Suitable for frequent marking, producing high-quality white lines.
  • Impact Premium: Simple to use, excellent spray-ability producing a vibrant marking.
  • Impact Elite: Next-generation Impact paint with long-lasting, ultra-bright white lines

The Impact paint range offers a host of benefits that set it apart:

  • Ready-to-use: No measuring, no mixing, no mess
  • Time-saving: Quick start, fewer re-fills, faster finish
  • Cost savings per pitch: Less paint, no added water, reduced labour
  • Great visuals: Crisp lines, bright white or vibrant colours
  • Fast drying: Rainfast in as little as 20 minutes
  • Long lasting: Highly rain resistant once dry, no ‘ghosting’
  • Flowability: High atomisation through unique nozzles
  • Flexibility: All surfaces – natural grass, hard and synthetic surfaces*
  • Lighter load: No heavy tank of dilutable to cause compaction
  • Bespoke colours: Colour matching is available

Sustainability in Every Mark

Impact paints’ water-saving formulation and lightweight design provide a sustainable solution that reduces soil compaction and transport emissions. By choosing Impact, sports facilities demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship without compromising quality.

The Future of Line Marking

With its unbeatable combination of practicality, precision, efficiency, and eco-consciousness, the OAS Impact range sets a new standard for line-marking paints. Whether maintaining community pitches or managing professional stadiums, Impact paints deliver reliability and exceptional results every time.

Dedicated Line Marking Team

The OAS team is on hand to support you through every step, from free demonstrations to advice on the correct products and application methods, training and innovations, to servicing and repairs to keep you marking all season long. Visit www.originamenity.com to get in touch with the team,

The hub at Green-tech’s Irish depot follows the successful model of Green-tech’s Trade Centre in North Yorkshire, which has been an official drop-off hub for the Tubex Collection & Recycling Programme since June 2024.

The programme helps to reduce waste by collecting used tree shelters, which are then washed, shredded, and re-pelletised before being used to manufacture new products. This circular process aligns with Green-tech’s commitment to environmental responsibility and advancing sustainable practices within the landscaping industry.

Richard Gill, Sales Director at Green-tech, commented, “We’re thrilled to expand the Tubex Collection & Recycling Programme into Ireland with the launch of our dedicated recycling hub. As the first facility of its kind in the country, this hub provides an essential service for our Irish customers, providing them with the option to recycle their Tubex shelters. This initiative highlights our continued commitment to sustainability and the circular economy, ensuring that materials are reused and waste is minimised. We’re excited to see more clients participate and help us make a positive impact on the environment.”

The Irish Tubex Recycling Hub is one of 15 national collection points across the UK and Ireland, making it more convenient for customers to drop off their used shelters. Additionally, Green-tech offers collection services for larger quantities, ensuring that no shelter is left behind.
