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 2^nd – 4^th 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.
