KORO Top Drain
Complete one-pass surface drainage system
KORO® TopDrain is a specialized drainage system used in turf management to improve the health and performance of sports fields, golf courses, and other turf areas. The system uses a combination of cutting and vacuuming technology to create narrow trenches in the soil, which are then filled with sand or other porous materials. These trenches provide a pathway for excess water to drain away from the turf, preventing waterlogging and other issues that can harm turf growth and health.
KORO® TopDrain can help with the turf in several ways. It can improve the drainage capacity of the soil, allowing excess water to move away from the turf more quickly and efficiently. This can reduce the risk of waterlogging, which can lead to root damage, disease, and poor growth. By removing excess thatch and other organic matter from the soil, KORO® TopDrain can improve the air and nutrient exchange between the soil and the turf, promoting healthier and more vigorous growth. KORO® TopDrain can help to reduce the risk of injuries to athletes and other users of the turf by creating a firmer and more stable playing surface that is less prone to slipping and sliding.

The KORO® Story – a brief history
The brainchild of Ko Rodenberg, the KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER® (KORO® FTM®) came to market in 1997 as the key machine in a renovation programme designed to improve pitch quality and extend playing hours on natural turf soccer pitches.
The acquisition of the manufacturing rights by Imants in 2009 and the fine-tuning of the “Fraise mowing” renovation practice has led to the design of a new range of rotors. Campey Turf Care Systems has been at the fore in developing the Imants KORO® FIELDTOPMAKER® into a system that can be used on a wide range of surfaces for a number of different renovation practices. “Koro-ing” is now an established renovation practice worldwide!
