GKB has announced the launch of the 'Combislit' – a new solution to low-disruption aeration.

Available in 1.6m and 2.0m working widths, the Combislit uses GKB’s Evolvente blades to spike and open all types of natural and hybrid surface to depths of up to 15cm. It allows for the aeration of the top layer, with minimal friction and disruption, ensuring oxygen and moisture movement and linking with deeper decompaction work conducted throughout the season. 

GKB’s Evolvente blades are designed to pierce the ground without disturbing or prying the topsoil. The result is a level surface, boosted with the many benefits of regular aeration and able to be back in play almost immediately.

The Combislit’s frame ensures sufficient weight to penetrate compacted upper layers, with the option to add additional weight to the top of the unit if required. A rear-mounted pressure roller can also be specified to deliver extra precision to the end result. In addition, the blades can be swapped for cutting discs for linear aeration and non-chemical weed control.

“We are all too aware of the prolonged wet conditions facilities around the country have had to endure, which just serves to reiterate why regular aeration is so important," said GKB UK Operations Manager Tom Shinkins. "When ground conditions rule out heavier or more intensive methods, GKB now have a fast and effective tool to keeping the profile open, bringing benefit to players and plant health alike. We are excited to add this to our portfolio, with stock now available via our UK dealer network.”
