In preparation of the autumn fall, Etesia UK has announced a special offer which will enable anyone to get £350 off a brand new Pellenc Airion blower when purchased with a ULB1100 battery. Terms and conditions apply.

The Pellenc Airion blower can be used near noise sensitive areas such as hospitals, schools, camp sites, towns, etc. It is also perfectly suitable as a cleaning tool or roads alongside sweepers at any time of the day and it works just as effectively as a replacement for the traditional sweeper in towns as it does in parks and gardens.

With no more starting problems, no more filling of a petrol tank; your old machinery will belong in the past with the light, odourless and noise-free Pellenc Airion blower.

There are also the fuel savings to consider. 3,000 litres of fuel costs on average £3,900 and using, on average, five litres per day will last 600 days costing an average of £6.50 per day; while a Pellenc battery costs just 85p per day to run.

Pellenc’s zero emission concept offers a full range of truly professional handheld power tools are powerful, silent and emission-free thanks to the lithium-ion technology and ‘brushless’ electric motors which are patented to the company.

These environmentally-friendly tools are now offered with a three year commercial warranty as standard – the first manufacturer to offer this on battery-powered tools.

Pellenc is sold exclusively in the UK by Etesia UK.

Forest Green Rovers praise Etesia ETMower

The new head groundsman at Forest Green Rovers FC, Matt Rainey, has praised Etesia’s ETMower claiming that it is like having an extra member of staff.

Forest Green Rovers FC, based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, is striving to become the most sustainable football club in the world and has already taken measurable steps to ensure this happens: The club is the proud owner of the world’s first organic football pitch, solar power is installed on the stadium roof, every drop of water is recycled via a water harvesting system and the team kit is even washed in phosphate-free washing powder.

As you can imagine – keeping Co2 emissions at an absolute minimum is extremely important to a club like Forest Green Rovers, and this is where Etesia’s ETMower comes in.

The state-of-the-art robotic mower, which is also used by Bayern Munich FC in Germany, considerably reduces the cost of pitch maintenance, not only in terms of labour and maintenance costs, but also by cutting energy bills. Co2 emissions are also much lower than conventional powered petrol/diesel mowers and Matt believes that the machine, who he affectionately calls ‘Mow’, perfectly fits within the club’s philosophy.

“Mow costs us absolutely nothing to use because it simply charges from the solar panels on the roof of the stadium. Energy consumption is kept to a minimum and there’s no fuel or noise to deal with which is a lot better for the environment.

“It also mulches the grass so it means that Mow is putting all the goodness of the grass back into the soil. It ticks every box that we adhere to at the club.”

Matt, who originally started his career at the club, re-joined Forest Green Rovers in July this year and that was when he was first introduced to the ETMower. His relationship with ‘Mow’ got off to the best possible start when he realised that the powerful robotic mower would play a key role in his pre-season preparations.

“Because of ‘Mow’s’ weight, you can cut much earlier in the season compared with any other piece of machinery – potentially up to fourteen days earlier.
“After the pitch has been seeded, you’d normally have to wait until the grass is 40-45mm before physically going onto the pitch with rotary mowers but with ‘Mow’ you can put him on at 20mm. It’s great because it speeds things up, establishes the roots, and it can work in conditions that you can’t. I can’t work in torrential rain for example but ‘Mow’ can.”

As Matt says, the ETMower can work constantly for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year in most weather conditions. Once the area to be covered has been marked out by a low voltage peripheral cable buried in the ground, the ETmower gets to work automatically, according to your programming. No human intervention is required, meaning that groundsmen like Matt have more time to focus on other important tasks.

“Mow is a great tool to have in the shed because it can do things that groundsmen can’t. He also significantly frees up my time. At Forest Green Rovers, we focus on our soil biology so our aeration programme is a lot more intense than others are. Feeding regimes are organic so we are always applying something and then there is the stadium maintenance as well. We’ve also got an outside remit which involves attending to the growth of wildflowers. For a club at our level the ETMower is my extra man – ‘Mow’ is my assistant and he never complains either!”

While ‘Mow’ may not complain, the ETMower does however send you and SMS text message to let you know of any incident it may encounter indicating exactly what the problem is. Also, if it needs to recharge its batteries, it automatically goes to its charging station and resumes mowing once it is fully charged.

There are three models in the range – the ETm44 for work up to 5,000m², ETm65 for work up to 9,000m² and the ETm105 for work up to 20,000m².

Pellenc has launched the City Cut for use on the Excelion 2000 brushcutter which is particularly suited to the maintenance of urban spaces and weeding without pesticides or projections. Pellenc is exclusively sold in the UK by Etesia UK

The new cutting head completes the range of heads compatible with the Pellenc Excelion 2000 including the Blade Cut, City Cut, Roll Cut, Multi Cut, and Tap Cut options.

The counter-rotation technology, which is exclusive to Pellenc, avoids plant, gravel, stones and debris from projecting and causing damage to surrounding areas. It also meets the “Zero Phyto” charter for alternative weed removal in urban areas making weeding without the use of pesticides extremely easy.

The Excelion 2000 cow-handle brushcutter fitted with the new City Cut head prevents almost 98% of the direct emissions of a petrol engine. Users who decide to recharge Pellenc batteries with the Solerion solar charger see the CO2 emissions totally eliminated, and in addition an important factor for the commercial operator, vibration levels of 2.3ms².

As with all other Pellenc products, the Excelion 2000 uses the ultra-high capacity technology of the Pellenc lithium battery and guarantees non-polluting, odourless operation with quick start-up and up to 4.5 hours of continuous operation.

The Pellenc ULB battery range is designed for professional tool use. ULB batteries allow the user to work for up to a full day on a single charge. Pellenc is the only professional tool manufacturer to offer a whole range of tools that operate with ultra-high capacity multipurpose batteries.

Ideal tools for all situations where noise and emissions are not wanted, Pellenc are used by landscapers and contractors for local garden maintenance, or close to hospitals, cemeteries, schools and other noise sensitive areas.

New Pellenc Dealer for West Midlands

Etesia UK, the exclusive distributor of Pellenc battery-powered equipment in the UK, has announced Midlands Groundscare Machinery (MGM) as the new Pellenc dealer for the West Midlands area.

MGM, a new independent groundscare company based in Solihull, was formed by the experienced Dave Tullett who has worked within the groundscare industry for over 27 years. A fully qualified BAGMA instructor and assessor and experienced agricultural engineer, Dave is keen to use his knowledge and expertise to provide trustworthy, professional advice and support when sourcing new equipment or providing high quality servicing and maintenance.

It is safe to say that Dave understands the market extremely well and knows what brands of machinery his customers will want to see at his Depot in Knowle. The addition of the Pellenc range of equipment, including battery powered chainsaws, hedge trimmers and brushcutters, will present MGM’s customers with a lighter, odourless, noise-free and more cost effective alternative to fuel based machinery. Not only will users see improved performance but they will also be contributing to protecting the environment by reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and noise pollution.

Dave is further embracing Etesia’s green technology philosophy by also selling Etesia’s battery powered range of products including ride-on mowers, pedestrians, brushcutters and the ground-breaking range of robotic ETmowers. Labelled by some as the future of mowing, Dave is pleased that MGM are already on-board.

“There are definitely more industry professionals choosing to use electric and battery powered products as opposed to fuel based ones. Perhaps there is a realisation that a reliance on fossil fuels is not always going to be possible.
“These battery powered products not only provide the operator with more comfort and less vibration but they are also healthier. Let us not forget about the savings either. Five litres of fuel will cost on average £6.50 per day whilst a Pellenc battery powered product works out at about 85p per day. That’s a significant amount of savings over a long period of time,” he said.

In the last five years, Pellenc has gained market recognition by offering a unique range of ‘zero emission’ battery-powered handheld tools, thanks to the development of Lithium-ion ultra-high performance batteries. The emergence of Pellenc in the UK has been quite phenomenal with over 50 Etesia dealers now stocking Pellenc machinery in various parts of the country.
