A
rise in demand for synthetic surface cleaning from schools and sports clubs has
triggered the purchase of a Redexim Verti-Top
for contractors Cutting Edge GM.
The
adaptability of this award-winning artificial cleaningsystem has facilitated the diversification of the services offered by the
grounds maintenance outfit – with its ability to effectively decompact and
clean a range of infill materials to leave a professional, play-ready
finish.
The team of eight that make up
Cutting Edge pride themselves on being passionate about sports surfaces,
providing a range of services to keep natural and artificial turf surfaces
around Teesside, North Yorkshire & County Durham in
first-rate condition.
To
cope with an increasing number of enquiries for synthetic pitch cleaning,
Director Josh Blackburn decided the time was right to invest in a new solution
and quickly decided the Redexim
Verti-Top was the right machine for them. “Not only is the Verti-Top quicker than our previous cleaner, the build
quality is fantastic and the quality of finish is brilliant. This machine sets
the standard for this process without a shadow of a doubt.”
Suited to most types of synthetic
turf, the Verti-Top effectively lifts and collects debris, while the oscillating
sieve and vacuum system tackle even the tiniest of particles. The cleaned
infill is then returned, leaving a safe, contamination and compaction-free
surface, that looks good and plays well.
Josh
opted for the Verti-Top 1200, with
1.2m working width, delivered in spring 2024 by local dealer Rickerby.
“The purchase and installation
process was fantastic! Tom Alexander from Rickerby together with Redexim’s
Allen Whellans, conducted full training with the team and demonstrated the
various ways to set the unit up to get the very best results.
“There’s
so much flexibility with this machine, including a range of sieve options,
which means we can work with all types of infill material, including the newer,
organic and natural infill types.”
He continues, “As soon as the
cold and frosty conditions pass, we will be out with the Verti-Top getting surfaces cleaned up and safe for the start of the new
playing season.
“We
had outstanding feedback from customers on the process last year and look
forward to being able to grow this side of our business further with such a
capable and versatile machine at our disposal.”
