Wiedenmann introduces core recycler

Wiedenmann has begun production on a self-contained walking machine for collecting and processing cores. 

The machine's sweeping head collects the cores and transfers them into four rotating screens which separate the sand from the organic material (thatch).  The sand is then returned to the green and the thatch is collected into the high dump hopper.  The hopper can then be dumped directly into the bed of a utility vehicle.  Plastic inserts can also be placed on the inside of the rotating screens for core collecting.

Wiedenmann's Will Wolverton says the core recycler process saves money by re-using topdressing material. It also eliminates the need to run a heavy topdresser over a freshly aerified green, he says.

Wiedenmann is taking orders for the core recycler. High-end courses and independent contractors are the target audience.
