The Ki Spray Machine impresses Sweden’s Greenkeepers

Last week, exclusive Fleet distributor for Sweden, Jordelit, celebrated their 35th Anniversary.


As part of the celebrations, over 100 Greenkeepers visited Jordelit’s head office in Mölndal and enjoyed two days of presentations and product demonstrations inter mingled with a round of golf at the spectacular Hills Golf and Sports Club.

European Sales Manager Iain Courage and Assistant Chris Buckley were on hand to help the Jordelit sales team, demonstrating Fleet’s latest line marking innovations, the Ki Spray Machine and NEET paint in yellow, red and blue. 

Both the Ki Spray Machine and NEET paint attracted a vast amount of interest from the Greenkeepers, who were extremely impressed with the advanced line definition produced by the machine.

Iain and Chris also demonstrated the benefit of the Ki for marking out hazard lines on Golf courses

Iain confirms, “All attendees at the Joredlit anniversary celebrations were excited by the Ki’s ability to produce superior lines at affordable costs.


“What’s more, in demonstrating the machine’s capabilities on the golf course, we were also able to highlight the productivity and durability of the NEET bag system when compared to the use of aerosols – even when changing colours, which is simply a case of disconnecting one bag of colour and attaching the next..it really does take seconds!”

Fleet Line Markers Limited Set to Showcase Line Marking Innovations at SALTEX

Fleet Line Markers Limited is delighted to announce it will be exhibiting at the IOG’s annual SALTEX exhibition on 2nd – 4th September 2014, in order to showcase its latest line marking innovations to key stakeholders within the industry.

As the UK’s largest national event for grounds care, sports, amenities and estates, Fleet Line Markers has exhibited at SALTEX since the early 60’s.

For the 2014 exhibition, the line-marking specialist will be demonstrating a number of new products that have been created for the benefit of groundsmen worldwide - including its new Ki Spray Machine and NEET paint, together with the reformed Kombi 4.

Launched in May this year, the Ki Spray Machine provides groundsmen with a revolutionary line marking machine that offers advanced line definition for all surfaces, with almost zero overspray.


This is achieved with use of Fleet’s NEET paint, attached to the Ki in ready to use bags for immediate marking. This system benefits groundsmen in providing the same durability of paint, but at a significant reduction in marking time and costs.

The newly reformed Kombi 4 can also be used with the NEET bag system or in conjunction with Fleet’s long established dilutable paints, appealing to groundsmen at all levels.

Fleet’s International Sales Manager, Iain Courage comments, “This year Fleet will be showcasing a number of its new innovative products that have been specifically designed with our customers in mind. Both the new Ki Spray Machine and reformed Kombi 4 provide a cost effective solution for advanced line definition, especially when used with Fleet’s ready to use paints.”

SALTEX attendees will also be introduced to Fleet’s range of accessories including the new Nozzle Tip Cleaner and Fleet Wipes.

Manufactured to use with all Fleet nozzle tips, the ultrasonic Nozzle Tip Cleaner works through the cavitation effect caused by high frequency ultrasonic wave vibrations in the fluid – providing an effective solution for the removal of paint, dirt and grime which would normally require tedious manual cleaning by hand.


Iain continues, “Fleet’s new Nozzle Tip Cleaner has been manufactured to ensure groundsmen achieve top results with our line marking machines through cleaning and maintenance. It can be used with a wide variety of Fleet machine parts including nozzles, filters, pipework and couplings, returning them to an ‘almost new’ condition without any damage.”

The Fleet Wipes have also been created to maintain Fleet line marking machines, offering an easy solution for the removal of high quantities of paint with minimal effort or output.

To find out more about Fleet’s new line marking innovations please visit the team at SALTEX on stand E55, where attendees will have the opportunity to participate in product demonstrations and competitions throughout the event.

Fleet Line Markers Limited benefits line marking industry with ready to use paints

31st July 2014: Industry leading manufacturer of line marking paints and equipment, Fleet Line Markers Limited, is excited to announce the launch of its ready to use Synthetic Turf Coating (STC) and Permanent Marking Fluid (PMF) line marking paints. 

Currently available to customers as concentrated products, STC and PMF are highly durable line marking paints that are both rain resistant and hardwearing. 

In reformulating both paints to ready to use products, Fleet’s Chemists have provided an easy to use solution for the marking of all hard and synthetic surfaces, for groundsmen at varying capabilities.

The new products will be available to purchase from Fleet in September and will be packaged in drums or ready to use bags that can be attached to Fleet’s revolutionary line marking machine - the Ki Spray Machine – which was launched at the beginning of May this year.  

Fleet’s Managing Director, Iain McGuffie comments, “Reformulating both STC and PMF line marking paints in ready to use versions enhances the Ki as a highly versatile line marking machine that offers advanced line definition for all surfaces with almost zero overspray – this means the machine provides opportunity for line marking indoors without the use of masking.”

Customers who choose to use either STC or PMF in conjunction with the Ki will experience the same durability of the paint but at a significant reduction in marking time and costs.

Both STC and PMF ready to use line marking paints will also be available in drums for use with alternative spray marking machines to suit all customer requirements, benefitting groundsmen on a global scale.

Iain finishes, “Fleet Line Markers aims to consistently develop innovative line marking products for the benefit of all of our customers across the UK and overseas. Our latest innovation of ready to use line marking paint for all surfaces is an excellent example of this, as we hope to provide groundsmen with an effective solution for increased marking productivity.”
