Equipment for tennis red clay playground maintenance

Venus: tennis clay court maintenance machine

The first rule is "NO EFFORT"! This machine was created for non-professional maintenance workers, it is easy to use, you immediately learn to use it at its best instinctively, and however you adjust it, it allows you to do ordinary and extraordinary maintenance without effort. In fact, the rule is to adjust it to a depth from 1 to 4 (indicated in the cursor of the front depth range) and to the automatic advancement speed (using the accelerator lever on the right of the guide handle) so that the machine advances by itself without having to hold it back or without having to struggle to drive it in a straight direction. At the end of the court you leverage the handles, lift the front and it turns on itself without effort. If the surface is very hard, first adjust to a depth between 1 and 2, not more than 2.5, and a medium advancement speed (gas lever halfway up its top rangel) and the Venus grind and regenerates the surface without pulling too much in advance. If it is necessary to go deeper, you can adjusted in a second pass to a greater depth, but grind the surface 5/8mm depth, then use Venus on a second step. If you find difficult to hold the machine or guide it, it means that the surface is too hard for that depth of action: then the excavation depth is lightened with the central handwheel and raised so that the job will be easy and you proceed more quickly to your final result

Venus represents the smartest and cheapest solution to do a perfect and quick maintenance of a clay tennis court. The Venus special drum, made of 4 independent rotating shafts, each with free offset hardox blades for a total of 104 discs and over 2500 abrasive teeth, reduces the hardest clay into soft regenerated that can be reused. So you won't need to add new clay: it will be enough to evenly spread with Venus the old clay refurbished that will bring volume and new quality.

The material of Venus blades is the same used on the asphalt digger, so the hardest red clay cannot resist to the power of Venus drum. Moreover the Honda engine that pushes Venus drum is so powerfull that Paoloni company (the manufacturer) grants a two-year guarantee on his machine (except of course for the consumable parts).

Venus can be adjusted for every millimeter of depth to perform a regular and effortless milling, once the hardox drum and the engine speed have been adjusted, venus advances by itself (no need to push for the operator) and works the court surface on the desired depth. An advantage in using venus is that the decompacted earth could be reusable (if not too old of course): the clay decompacted by Venus regains volume.

Use the machine to the best and consume the blades correctly:

Venus blades are designed to perform and last long: if used regularly and correctly with an average maintenance and cleaning after each working session, Venus guarantees a life of up to 70/80 fully refurbished red clay courts.

IMPORTANT: TO ENSURE GREATER LONGEVITY OF THE BLADES, THE ROTOR MUST BE CLEANED FROM THE RESIDUAL GRINDED CLAY WITH A STEEL BRUSH THAT IS SUPPLIED WITH EACH MACHINE: IT WILL BE ENOUGH, AT THE END OF EACH WORKING DAY, TO DEDICATE 5 MINUTES TO CLEAN THE MACHINE. TURN BACK THE MACHINE AND LIFT THE ROTOR SIDE, BEAT THE DRUM WITH A PIECE OF WOOD AND TAKE OF WET CLAY BY THE BLADES BEFORE IT DRIES. DON'T LET THE CLAY DRY ON THE BALDES, IF NOT CLAY WILL BECOME HARD AS CEMENT AND WILL BE BLOCKING THE ROTOR. IF YOU WANT THE MACHINE TO WORKS PROPERLY REMEMBER THE 104 BLADES OF VENUS MUST ALWAYS TURN FREE AND CLEAN AND SO THE SPACERS BETWEEN ONE BLADE AND THE NEXT

When it should become necessary to replace the hardox BLADES (which are always available in stock and ready for delivery with shipping times within 48 hours after you request) the operations to extract the rotor and change the blades are simple and require less than one hour: that video showes how easy it is.

Venus can be used also on syntetic turf surfaces

The versatility of Venus Terrarossa is demonstrated with the novelty that Paoloni has created for the maintenance of clogged synthetic surfaces and turf courts such as padel courts or old synthetic tennis surfaces. It's possible to change the venus blade rotor to grind the red clay with a special new rotor that installs round brushes in a specifically designed nylon: so Venus becomes a perfect machine for cleaning and regenerating the bristles of clogged synthetic turf sport surfaces. From these videos you can see the effect of the machine on old worn and dirty surfaces. Then, on the basis of this experience, Paoloni also created "GREEN VENUS", the version of Venus dedicated only to synthetic surfaces tennis and padel courts and their maintenance, which mounts a brush rotor with an increased section (the Green Venus cannot be used with red clay blades).
