ROBUST FRAME

The performance of this dethatching machine is often tested in many common applications, for example, when it is rented. Its robust construction is then also a guarantee for its durability. The blade shaft is located within a thick steel housing in order to protect bystanders from any flying chippings

BLADE CHOICE

Whoever chooses the professional version of the E501 knows exactly what he wants. However, because you, as a professional user, have more stringent requirements, ELIET have also developed two other types of blades in addition to the standard fitted blades. In certain operating conditions, these other types of blades can enhance performance and promote high quality work. The choice is up to you !

VERTICAL BELT TENSION

Problem-free operation was the point of departure for developing the vertical belt tension. Thanks to this system, the belt retains its natural shape even when it is operating. This virtually eliminates wear on the belt, thus significantly extending its operating life

INFINITELY VARIABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

The working depth is typically 2 mm. At this speed, virtually no braking is applied to the blades so that they can operate at full speed and lift up moss and thatch from the lawn surface. As the blades do not cut through the roots, this greatly reduces the time required by the lawn to recover after dethatching. Accurate and correct depth setting implies a very fine adjustable depth adjustment. To this end, the front wheels of the E 501 Pro feature an infinitely variable adjustment. This enables the same depth to be set across the entire blade shaft.

REAR WHEELS DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

ELIET guarantees that the Permanently Sharp Blades™ are not worn down, even after operating for more than 100 hours. The depth adjustment on the front wheels is inadequate to fully wear down the entire length of the blade. The E750 therefore also has a rear wheels depth adjustment.

ALUMINIUM WHEELS

Work comfort means that you perform the work with a minimum of effort. In this respect, ELIET pamper the operator of the E501 PRO. Large wheels with light aluminium rims running on tyres with a supple natural rubber tread ensure that this machine glides across the lawn. Each wheel is equipped with two large-size ball bearings. These heavy duty wheels are able to withstand the dusty conditions in which these machines have to operate. The wide wheel tread minimizes the risk of wheel rut formation on wet lawns.

WHEELS WITH MUD SCRAPERS

If dethatching takes place in the spring on a swampy lawn, the newly raked moss tends to stick to the wheels so that the machines move up and down when crossing the lawn, with this having a clearly visible effect on the result of the raking. To remedy, ELIET have fitted scrapers to the wheels of its professional dethatching machines. Any dirt that sticks to the wheels is immediately removed from the wheels.

RUBBER DEFLECTOR

Although gardeners usually wear professional working clothing and protective footwear, ELIET do not take any risks when safety is involved. The wide rubber safety guard at the rear of the machine retains all dust, sand and any stones that are thrown up out of the ground by the blades. The deflector is suspended on a chain and passively obeys each steering command. Moreover, you can suspend the deflector at the correct height, according to the thickness of the moss layer that appears from underneath the dethatching machine.

THE IMPORTANCE OF POINTED BLADES

During the dethatching work, the blades must grip, rake up and raise the layer of thatch and moss underneath your lawn. The point of the blade plays a crucial role. Many blades lose their edge after a few hours, thus losing their thatch removal ability. As a result, users soon tend to set the blades to penetrate deeper. This, however, has many drawbacks. Dull blades not only fail to cut, they also bring up large quantities of earth and soil, with the resultant increase in machine wear rate. In addition, rooting also suffers irreparable damage.

PERMANENTLY SHARP BLADES™, FOR A RADIANT LAWN

You shouldn’t set the blades to cut deep when you’re dethatching. On the contrary, the trick is to loosen all the moss, felt and other weeds on the surface and lift it out of the lawn. You can then rake or suck it up. Only then can you be sure that all that unwanted material has been removed from your lawn.

That’s the basis of the whole unique Permanently Sharp Blades™ concept. The blades are self-sharpening, so they never lose their gripping force. They may suffer some wear, but they will remain sharp throughout their life.

The PSB™ technology guarantees the same raking efficiency from beginning till end. The Eliet warranty of a permanently good result.
