Over the past ten years, ELIET has increasingly distinguished itself as a full-service provider for lawn care and renewal. At the GaLaBau in Nuremberg, the Belgians showed a new product along with their already extensive range of lawns: the EcoCure top dressers WS-ZR and DS-ZR with their own drive. The company from Otegem is thus further expanding its range of climate-friendly solutions.
Topdressing is becoming an increasingly important part of lawn treatment. The key to using lawns as a rainwater infiltration zone is to absorb water faster than the water can drain away. The basic requirement for this is a healthy lawn soil with good drainage capacity and a strong root network.
This can be achieved in a completely natural way by stimulating soil life. Landscape gardeners encourage this with their customers by regularly spreading suitable spreading material such as fine compost, coarse compost, sand, lime as well as organic fertilizer and other soil improvers in their gardens. The ELIET-EcoCure-WS-ZR and DS-ZR are used for this purpose, making this processing step much easier.
Wide spread: large-area ejection via spreading plates
Users can access any garden gate with the WS-ZR. It is a maneuverable, self-propelled top dresser that is only 90 cm wide. With a continuously adjustable travel speed both forwards and backwards, the travel drive is fully hydrostatic, which makes it very maneuverable and enables topdressing in the forward or reverse direction of travel.
It has a large 450 liter loading container. Wide pneumatic tires distribute the axle load so that the device does not leave any ruts. Due to the steerable twin front wheels, the WS-ZR has a very narrow turning radius, which also makes it suitable for use on small lawns. A 45 cm wide conveyor belt runs at the bottom of the conical loading container and transports the grit.
The conveyor belt is hydraulically driven and electrically activated via a switch on the steering mechanism. The flow rate of the spreading material can be controlled by the speed of the conveyor belt and the adjustable opening under the slide of the metering rail. Spreading material falls onto two rapidly rotating, hydraulically driven plates (38 cm diameter), which eject the material evenly up to five meters.
