Airter

After more than three years in development, two completely redesigned airter® machines are coming to the UK market. Novokraft AG is entering into a successful and close partnership with Lister Wilder, our sole authorised dealer in England. The new airter® neo 12140 runs continuously with 12 nozzles and is more suitable for large football pitches, which it can process in less than 3.5 hours. The machine weighs only 550kg. The new airter® trike 8140 with 8 nozzles is a discontinuous and self-propelled machine that weighs 475kg and is electrically driven. So it is more suitable for smaller areas such as golf greens. It will also be autonomous soon. It is no longer necessary to change the nozzles on either airter®; it can be quickly and easily adjusted from -8 to -20cm directly on the machine without changing or using tools. Unwanted and harmful grubs and Tipula larvae (leather jackets) can be effectively and 100% biologically controlled with the airter®, using high-pressure compressed air.

airter® neo 12140 for football pitches and large golf greens. A football pitch is finished in 4 hours. No need to change nozzles.

airter® trike 8140 for all golf greens. Soon also autonomous for stadiums and golf courses. No nozzle change.

100% biological & effective pest control of root-damaging grubs and Leather Jackets and Japanese beetle, with high compressed air from airter®

airter® – active hybrid, sports and golf turf care

The airter® is a pneumatic soil aeration machine for professional users and service providers. The easy-to-operate cultivation device and the self-propelled airter® loosens the turf root zone to a depth of around -26cm and supplies the roots directly with fresh oxygen. The result is vital and immune-strong grass plants and a healthier and more resilient lawn. With the help of airter® technology, you can, for example, supply the turf base layer the size of a football pitch with up to 1 million litres of oxygen in an efficient, continuous work process.

The wide range and productivity of the machines make it possible to completely process such an area in just half a working day (approximately 4 hours). The pressure used is also infinitely adjustable.

airter® gives you an effective injection of liquid fertilisers, soil additives and biological pesticides directly to the roots using compressed air with the help of proven airter® technology.

If the airter® is used correctly, you can achieve an effect lasting up to 4 weeks for sustainable regeneration of the lawn plant.

airter® improves the quality of your turf in the long term and reduces your maintenance costs

The advantages at a glance

Effective and sustainable loosening of hybrid, sports and golf turf
Reduction of pesticide use and prevention of black layer through active aeration. Effective and biological control of harmful larvae and grubs in the soil
Improved water absorption/storage of the turf base layer enables shorter irrigation periods and lower water consumption, especially during the vegetation period or hot spells
A measurable, homogeneous loosening of approx. 30% in the processed turf base layer plus at least 23% cut grass growth
Reduction in downtime (no need for finishing work, playing surfaces can be walked on and played on immediately, less water-logging due to improved separation effect)
Reduction of maintenance costs (reduction of classic aerification intervals and sanding, less patching and reseeding)
Low-maintenance machine with simple pneumatic system
Scientifically validated system (STRI in the UK and the University of Hohenheim in Germany)
Efficient operation (continuous operation with neo, simple machine operation, high area output)
Stones in the working area are no problem. All pressurised air cylinders can be adjusted for resistance and the nozzle stops automatically. This means that it can also be used in vine and berry cultivation

Get an active and full-surface root canal treatment

All airter® products aerate the turf surface homogeneously and evenly without visibly damaging the turf surface. The working depth can be optimally adapted to the available space conditions and therefore reducing soil compaction by approximately 30%. As a result, the water flow and air circulation improve noticeably.

Each nozzle can be quickly and easily adjusted from -8 to -20cm directly on the machine without having to be changed.

airter® neo 12140 for larger areas

airter® neo runs continuously and is attached to the three-point linkage of the tractor with a PTO shaft, making it very manoeuvrable and compact
Processes a football pitch in around 4 hours
Is twice as fast and half the weight of its predecessor, the airter® light
Runs only with compressed air (no hydraulic oil)

airter® trike 8140 for smaller areas and soon also autonomously

airter® trike is perfect for uneven and inaccessible greens
Very light and therefore particularly gentle on the ground
Slide can be adjusted instantly from 0 to 4cm height to any terrain, fast and manoeuvrable processing of the greens
airter® trike 8140 runs intermittently with electric drive and batteries (stop and go system); the compressor is driven by a petrol engine
