TopChanger XP
High pressure water aeration
The TopChanger XP is an aeration machine that works on the basis of water and high pressure. Water is used under high pressure to blow holes in the soil. Water aeration opens up possibilities for injecting sand, with soil-improving products if desired, into the soil. The TopChanger XP performs all the operations necessary to treat your soil efficiently and sustainably in a single pass. And all this with minimal disruption to players.
The Topchanger XP uses a heavy duty PTO driven water pump to pressurise the water between 200-260 bars of pressure controlled by the operator on the touchscreen control panel. The pressurised water is then pumped directly into 2 injection valves containing 10 nozzles per valve, the injection valves work independently allowing the Topchanger to follow any contours and undulations in the playing surface.
Water aeration: Can be used as a conventional aeration tool using water alone, depths of up to 400mm have been observed.
Sand injection: the machine can handle wet sands eradicating the need to buy expensive kiln dried sands. Injecting sand into the profile helps to dilute thatch and organic matter. It also improves drainage and infiltration while firming up the playing surface.
