Redexim is pleased to announce the launch of the Scarivator – a new tool, ideal for contractors, that promises to revolutionise the maintenance of hybrid sports pitches. Recognising the increasing popularity of hybrid systems, the Scarivator has been specifically developed to remove unwanted rootzone material, loosen soil and ensure a smooth, level surface without damaging the synthetic fibres.

Hybrid surfaces naturally become compacted over time, which necessitates effective renovation to maintain performance and longevity. This process now begins with the Scarivator, designed to loosen the uppermost layer of the surface.

Embodying the very best of quality, reliability and Redexim engineering, the Scarivator features two horizontal beams equipped with angled spring tines to work into the surface at adjustable depths of up to 35mm (1.38”). The beams reciprocate each other to agitate and loosen the organic material and soil without the risk of synthetic fibres wrapping around the rotor. The result is an unparalleled renovation solution that ensures costly replacement and repairs can be avoided, and the lifespan of the system is extended.

The Scarivator comes with a 2.13m working width, infinitely adjustable working depth and adjustable tine angle for varying degrees of aggressiveness. Its streamlined specification is the result of many years of rigorous testing in collaboration with hybrid carpet manufacturers and contractors, especially those in the UK, which now sees the Scarivator as the ultimate maintenance choice not just for hybrid surfaces, but natural turf and the decompaction of heavily worn artificial carpets.

In the field, the Scarivator has proven to be a perfect partner to the Redexim Turf Stripper, loosening the upper profile and allowing the Turf Stripper to extract more of the rootzone from deeper down in a single pass. It is also an effective solution for regular in-season raking, etching away at compaction and pan layers and creating a tilth to optimise the results of natural and hybrid renovations.
