Rugby, England: Sports turf management solutions provider Bernhard and Company has unveiled the latest addition to its collection of high-performance reel grinding machines, with the Express Dual 4300.

The new Express Dual 4300 grinding machine offers advanced automation to deliver rapid, safe, and accurate reel grinding.

The fully automated system comes with new advanced controls that are accessed through the touchscreen operator interface – making it easier than ever for mechanics and turf professionals to grind reel blades back into the supremely sharp state required to deliver the perfect grass cut and healthy turf conditions.

“The Express Dual 4300 has been designed to enhance the product offering within our Express Dual range of reel grinders,” said Steven Nixon, Managing Director for Bernhard and Company, a Full Business Member of the Asian Golf Industry Federation.

“With all-new automation and improved controls, it is an incredibly advanced and versatile product that will benefit turf equipment professionals. With increased speed and ease of use, getting mowers back into day-to-day action has never been quicker or simpler,” added Nixon.

Key features of the new Express Dual 4300 reel grinder include:

• New backlit LCD touchscreen operator interface with automated grind programmes.
• New reel drive auto-locking drive rod and drive adaptors.
• Fully automated feed system with configurable grind cycles.
• High definition graphic controls.
• Bernhard patented lift table for operator safety.
• Tabletop design for rapid loading of mowers.
• 15-minute turnaround, floor-to-floor.

Sharp mower blades allow for a perfect shearing of the grass blade, and a cleaner cut produces far fewer tears to the grass plant. This drastically lowers the risk of disease, and in turn reduces the amount of corrective maintenance required.

With healthier grass plants comes improved playability and a vastly improved aesthetic for customers to enjoy.

The Express Dual 4300 adds to Bernhard and Company’s high-performance reel grinder collection, which also includes: Express Dual 5500, Express Dual 4100, Express Dual 300MC, Express Dual 2000, and Dual Master 3000iR.

Bernhard and Company grinding machines are used by more than 65 per cent of the world’s top 100 golf courses to ensure perfect, tournament-ready playing conditions year-round, while the company’s turf management solutions and educational support are utilised at major sporting events around the globe.
