GKB Machines Unveils New Combislit Aeration Solution

GKB Machines has introduced the Combislit, a cutting-edge solution for low-disruption aeration. With working widths of 1.6m and 2.0m, the Combislit utilizes GKB’s innovative Evolvente blades to effectively spike and open all types of natural and hybrid surfaces up to depths of 15cm (6”).

This new aeration tool allows for efficient aeration of the top layer with minimal disruption, promoting optimal oxygen and moisture movement while seamlessly integrating with deeper decompaction work done throughout the season. As the successor to the popular GKB Topair, the Combislit boasts a solid and robust design combined with user-friendly operation, making it ideal for regular passes on various sports and fine turf surfaces, including fairways and greens.

The Evolvente blades are specifically designed to penetrate the ground without disturbing the topsoil, resulting in a level surface that reaps the benefits of regular aeration and can quickly return to play. The Combislit’s frame provides ample weight to penetrate compacted upper layers, with the option to add extra weight if needed. Additionally, a rear-mounted pressure roller can be added for enhanced precision.

Tom Shinkins, GKB UK Operations Manager, emphasized the importance of regular aeration, especially in challenging wet conditions. He highlighted the Combislit as a fast and effective tool for maintaining open profiles, benefiting both players and plant health. The Combislit is now available through GKB’s UK dealer network, offering a solution to facilities facing adverse weather conditions.
