Dan
Shemesh, Director of Stadium and Training Grounds for the New York Red Bulls
has praised the SISIS Osca 3 which maintains the synthetic turf on one of the
club’s training fields.
When Dan
Shemesh was looking for a machine that would help take his synthetic turf to
the next level, he found the solution in the form of the SISIS Osca 3 tractor
mounted oscillating brush.
“We
previously had a problem of matted down fibers on the synthetic turf, so I
needed a machine which would help revive the laid over fibers,” says Dan.
“CS Trading
LLC recommended the SISIS Osca and they arranged a demonstration for us. We saw
an immediate result both visually as well as through field testing.”
The SISIS
Osca 3 is a tractor mounted powered oscillating brush with a 1.9 meter working
width and is equally effective when used on synthetic turf with sand or rubber
infill.
The two
oscillating brushes stand the carpet fibers up and redistributes the infill
evening, minimizing compaction on the surface and improving its performance –
giving consistent playing characteristics while preventing pile damage caused
by reduced infill levels.
A
contributory factor to the reduction of compaction is that the Osca’s working
width will use fewer passes than other more conventional drag brushes to
complete a pitch. Its aggressive brushing action agitates the upper infill
level of the surface from side to side as well as brushing forward, helping
reduce surface compaction and encourage the fibers to stand up straight which
reduces the risk of contamination, drainage problems and leaves a consistent
playing surface across the whole pitch.
Dan, who
uses the Osca on a bi-weekly basis, has reported excellent results since using
the product.
“The SISIS
Osca is a great machine to keep fibers standing up in synthetic turf and the
dual oscillating brushes work in a different way to any other product on the
market – in fact that was a key feature in me purchasing the machine.”
“This
product will save us money in the long run as it will eliminate the need for
bringing in contractors and it will extend the life of our synthetic turf. The
Osca is also incredibly simple and easy to operate – we just attach it to our
tractor using the correct PTO – and adjust the speed depending on the level of
brushing needed.”
“I would
absolutely recommend the SISIS Osca to anyone who is looking to improve their
synthetic turf – it has now become a staple in our synthetic turf maintenance.”
