Since 1985, the Dutch company GKB has developed user-oriented and innovative machines that are adapted to all types of sports surfaces. Do you have a natural grass sports field or golf course where surface water causes a problem? Does the field remain wet for too long, making you fail to achieve the desired playing hours? And do you have a lack of time or budget to support a complete renovation? With the Drainmaster we offer the ultimate machine to tackle these problems.
The machine mills 2 or 3 trenches of 4 cm wide, perpendicular to the existing drainage system. The milled material is discharged via the conveyor belt to a collecting container driven by yout parallel driver. You can reuse this as a dress ground. The Drainmaster then fills the trenches with drain sand as desired, from the sand bunker. Lastly the rear wheels of the machine push the sand into the trench.
The Drainmaster has been in continuous development since 1985. Over the years, the concept has been further refined. The system is designed to improve and accelerate the drainage of surface water, increasing the stability and quality of the grass stock. The result of working with the Drainmaster? In a few weeks, the grass will grow over the sand trenches again. This results in better drainage due to a stronger grass stock. In this way you increase the playing capacity of the sports turf and minimize play damage. Now your field can last for years to come! For an optimal result, choose the combination with the Combinator, so that your field is also nicely even.

Drainmaster Results
First GKB Drainmaster entered service in 1985 it has been constantly updated since then and the solid build quality of this machine guarantees many years of enjoyment.
The result after working with GKB Drainmaster is an even dosage of sand throughout the depth of your slot drainage
The result after working with GKB Drainmaster is an even dosage of sand throughout the depth of your slot drainage
Drainmaster Option
As an option for GKB Drainmaster there is a Heavy duty kit with more durable blades.
Why GKB
The machines that we develop are reliable, robust machines. We owe this fact to the fact that we are still working with the machines as well. We know what the man who does the work requires to operate in a good and efficient manner. Therefore, we are using a new slogan: “The Worker is King”. This is important, since only in this way the machine can deliver pitches that look great. The reason why you should purchased it.
GKB sustainability
At GKB Machines we feel strongly about sustainability, as a family-owned company we aim for a sustainable company with a positive future prospect. That we do not just stick to words is evident from the fact that we are producing our machines energy neutral.
Sustainability is also highly important during the development of the machines. We develop the machines from the experience we have established from our contractor division. Every GKB Machine must satisfy the high-quality requirements that we impose. A sustainable, reliable and robust machine is the foundation for your operation. Since our contractor division is used to receiving these type of machines, you might also expect this from us.
