GKB Ecodresser

Environmentally Conscious Dressing

GKB Ecodresser

Overview

The GKB Ecodresser is a 3-in-1 maintenance machine and somewhat of an environmental genius.

Specially developed for the maintenance of natural grass sports fields and golf courses, the machine evens out the terrain and spreads dressing soil from the existing top layer. In combination with the nutrient-rich material that is placed on top, the soil is also aerated, ensuring greatly improved drainage and quality of your surfaces. In addition, the Ecodresser loosens the soil, so that no weeds can grow in the top layer.

So three functions:

Aerating the soil intensively (20cm deep)
Environmentally conscious dressing, with your own soil
Creating good sowing conditions

Environmental Genius

You use your own soil as dressing!

The Ecodresser prevents extra weeds by dressing using the existing topsoil layer. This will of course save you purchasing costs for sand, but it will also save the environment. Not only does it save you having to bring in sand (sand excavations, CO2 emissions), but it also prevents you bringing in pollution or extra weed seeds with the purchased sand. That way you don’t have to use pesticides. This fits in perfectly with the tendency to control weeds only by mechanical means.

Dressing + Aeration in One Operation

With the Ecodresser you are is possession of the ultimate machine for the maintenance of your sports pitches or golf courses. In just one operation, multiple operations are combined. The turf is intensively aerated (20 cm deep) by means of the combination of cutting discs, coulters and fixed tines. At the same time, the dressing is applied to the upper layer the sub-layer is aerated. You can level imperfections in your pitch by carrying the recycled dressing on the conveyer belt, following you can scatter it on the desired place. Consequently, this will create excellent seeding conditions. As a result, this will improve the drainage conditions and enhance and develop the rooting.

The Ecodresser is equipped with a cutting roller that is ensuring minimal operating damage to the turf. The adjustable cutting blade rotors extract the soil form the upper layer, the heavy-duty rotor is protected with slipping clutches on each blade flange. The coulters, which ensure the aeration of the upper layer, are spring-loaded. This in order to prevent damage from stones in the pitch. There is an option to equip the Ecodresser with a stone screen and collecting tray, in this way you are able to create a homogeneous upper layer.

How does the Ecodresser work?

Step 1
The pre-cut roller pre-mills the soil to minimise damage to the field.

Step 2
Behind it go the spring-loaded coulters, which intensively aerate the soil and also prevent damage from any stones.

Step 3
The conveyor belt behind the rear roller then immediately throws the loosened top layer
back onto the field.

If your ground is stony, the machine can be fitted with a stone sieve and collecting tray, enabling you to create a homogenous upper layer.

The machine can also be equipped with an optional conveyor belt in order to spread the top layer at any desired location. In this way, you can level any imperfections.
