Description

The Imants ShockWave is a linear decompactor designed to both maintain proper soil porosity and bulk density during the growing season and revitalize heavy wear areas by relieving soil compaction, improving aeration, and removing surface water.

The Imants Shockwave is a highly efficient and effective tool used to both maintain proper soil porosity and bulk density, particularly for sports fields and golf courses. The Shockwave alleviates compaction by providing a continuous linear subsurface aeration that improves drainage, and facilitates the penetration of air and nutrients to the root zone with minimal disruption. This process is essential for promoting robust root growth and overall turf health, especially in areas subjected to high traffic and use.

 

One of the standout features of the Imants Shockwave is its rotary blade system. The offset blades provide a shattering effect through the entire soil profile. Unlike traditional aeration the Shockwaves rotary action out performs vertical aeration methods that can cause significant surface disturbance. The all new design with pre-cutters allows the Shockwave’s blades to create minimal disruption, that allows play to resume immediately after work is complete. The blades are engineered for deep penetration, reaching depths up to 10″, that other aeration methods may not achieve. This depth is particularly beneficial for root development and soil health, as it ensures that the benefits of aeration reach deep into the soil profile.

The Imants Shockwave is also lauded for its durability, ease of use, and versatility. All Shockwave models feature a no-chains, direct drive design, and maintenance free “sealed for life” bearings. It also features overload protection by a torque limiting PTO shaft. The machine’s compatibility with various tractor models adds to its versatility, allowing it to be used across different terrains and turf conditions. Despite its advanced capabilities, the Shockwave is designed to be user-friendly, with straightforward operation and maintenance. This ease of use makes the Imants Shockwave a valuable asset in modern turf management, saving time and labor while delivering exceptional results.

At a working depth of 4 1⁄2” to 10” or 15”, depending on the model, the ShockWave provides maximum surface decompaction with minimal surface disruption. The ShockWave is reputed to be the world’s fastest PTO-driven rotary, linear decompactor. All ShockWave models feature a no-chains, direct drive design, and maintenance-free “sealed for life” bearings. The ShockWave features overload protection by a torque-limiting PTO shaft.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Deep Aeration Functionality: The Imants Shockwave has working depths of 4″-10″ depending on models. It is a linear decompactor that penetrates the soil allowing air and nutrients to reach the root zone of the grass.
  • Rotary Blade System: The Shockwave is equipped with a unique rotary blade system. The offsets blades provide a shattering effect through the entire soil profile. Along with the pre-cutters the blades slice through the soil with minimal surface disturbance.
  • Durability and Robust Construction. The Shockwave features a no-chain, direct drive design, with sealed bearings. It is made with high-quality materials and designed to last, even under the demanding conditions of professional turf management.
  • Ease of Use and Versatility: The Shockwave can be attached to a variety of tractors, making it a versatile tool for different types of terrain and turf conditions. Its adjustable rear roller provides quick aeration depth settings.
