Go Dutch with quality not cost
Members of the trade press visit factories of Imants and Vredo courtesy of Richard Campey
COURTESY of Campey Turfcare, members of the press were invited on a two-day trip to Holland to visit the company premises and see the machinery of both Imants and Vredo. These two long established companies, with feet in both the agricultural and amenity sports sectors, produce high quality machinery for aeration and seeding respectively.
The two comparatively sized companies put their emphasis on building sustainable equipment that stands the test of time in the field.
Imants have continued to develop their Shockwave range, where the machines can follow greens and undulating ground closely, decompacting the soil with little disturbance. The Rotoknife system complements the Shockwave and offers a range of depths to slit too. The Rotoknife is described by Imants as “the fastest and best aerator in the world.”
ICE
All Imants machines use hardened special quality steels that are now sculptured in the factory using ‘space age’ high - pressure water cutters. Without the use of any heat process the temper and hardness of the metal is not adversely affected.
The build quality of the Vredo equipment is of similarly high standards where the company ethos is to provide the right
equipment and worry about the cost later. Their range of different size disc seeders put a very accurate rate of seed directly into the ground, ensuring the highest levels of germination. Their seeders are so well calibrated that they will even put fine bent grass
seeds down into a green, slicing through any thatch to within a tolerance of a gramme per square metre.
With the cost savings on grass seed apparent, the fact that many of their seeders have needed no replacement parts in 25 years makes these high spec. machines extremely cost effective over time.
(In Case of Emergency
Paramedics check for ‘ice’ on mobiles
We all have lots of contact numbers for family and friends stored in our mobile phones but, if you were involved in an accident, how would the emergency services know which of those people to contact?
It’s becoming standard procedure for paramedics etc. to check for ICE in accident victim’s mobile phone names lists. It’s simple, just enter the contact number for the person you would wish to be contacted under ICE - if there is more than one person list them individually under ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.
Why not do it now - and pass this information on to your friends and family.
