DryJect for Golf

DryJect for Golf

The revolutionary DryJect service brings golf course superintendents the best of both worlds – Hydro injection and soil amendment penetration.  The Premier Injection service of its kind, DryJect allows you to Aerate, Topdress, and Amend in one Pass.

Aeration service that saves time and money

Traditional core aeration is time-consuming and requires several steps to return turf to a playable surface. With DryJect® added to your maintenance program you can reduce the need for core aerification and greatly amplify its benefits. 

DryJect uses a high-speed, water-based injection system to blast aeration holes through the root zone to fracture the soil. The patented vacuum technology simultaneously fills holes to the surface with high volumes of sand or amendment. This means you can relieve compaction, increase water infiltration, reach the root zone with oxygen and amend your soil with high volumes of material simultaneously. Plus DryJect leaves the surface smooth and playable.

Key Features and Functionality

1. High-Speed, Water-Based Injection System:
   • DryJect uses a high-speed, water-based injection system to create aeration holes through the root zone, fracturing the soil. This process helps relieve compaction and improve water infiltration.
2. Patented Vacuum Technology:
   • The machine employs patented vacuum technology to simultaneously fill the aeration holes with sand or other amendments, ensuring the surface remains smooth and playable.
3. Three-Dimensional Aeration:
   • The DryJect machine aerates in three dimensions—side to side, front to back, and even connects hole to hole. This comprehensive approach enhances soil structure and promotes better root growth.
4. Versatility in Amendments:
   • It can inject various flowable dry amendments, including sand, peat, diatomaceous earth, calcined clay, zeolites, top dressing, seed, wetting agents, insecticides, or biological products, depending on the specific needs of the turf.
5. Efficiency and Speed:
   • The machine can operate at different speeds based on the spacing required, allowing for quick and efficient treatment of large areas. For example, it can complete the sand injection of a football pitch in a single day

Greens

One of the key areas players rate a course on playability is the conditioning of the greens.  Soil health, including soil compaction, all relate to the quality of your greens.  DryJect was developed to help improve the soil profile and allow the golf course superintendent to select the proper service to get the most benefit from DryJect based on the soil profile.

Tees & Fairways

Accounting for over 80% of the closely mown golf course turf, tees and greens are a high-profile area due to the total turf coverage players see during their rounds. During core aerification, the pulling of plugs and subsequent dragging leaves these areas visibly distressed.  DryJect’s high-pressure, water-based injection system blasts aeration holes through the root zone to fracture the soil, while it’s patented vacuum technology simultaneously fills holes with amendment.

DryJect for Tees & Fairways allows you to:

• Aerate, amend and topdress in one pass, allowing a smooth surface that’s ready for play as soon as complete.
• Help new sod knit to the soil below by creating channels filled with amendment, allowing roots to penetrate deeper.
• Punch through deeper turf, allowing better root proliferation.
• Combine soil modification with aeration for increased soil benefit.
• Adjust aeration spacing and depth (up to 8 inches).
• Inject amendments such as sand and porous ceramics directly into the soil.

Approaches 10, 20, 30

DryJect can also be used to take your course to a championship level while managing your budget. When the demand is fast and firm, but your budget is limited use DryJect’s 10, 20, 30 approach for your greens approaches.

The area most scrutinized, other than greens, when looking for a fast and firm course is the approach areas from 10 yards to 30 yards in front of the green complex. Using a DryJect approach you can firm up those approaches as needed and where needed.

Surface Hardness – The top 1” DryJect treatment showed a firmer surface than hollow-tine coring alone. This effect exceeded 20 days while maintaining enhanced infiltration rates and a less compacted root zone.

HOW IT WORKS

DryJect uses a high-speed, water-based injection system to blast aeration holes through the root zone to fracture the soil. The patented vacuum technology simultaneously fills holes to the surface with high volumes of sand or amendment. This means you can relieve compaction, increase water infiltration, reach the root zone with oxygen and amend your soil with high volumes of material all at the same time. Plus DryJect leaves the surface smooth and playable.
