How Does the Sand Cleaning Machine Work?
We use the DELFINO Walk Behind Sand Cleaning Machine, a versatile and compact sand sieving system. The machine’s unique pick-up drum feeds sand through precision separation screens, efficiently filtering out debris while aerating and decompacting the surface.
Designed for tight spaces and large areas alike, the DELFINO is ideal for:
✅ Children’s play areas
✅ Private beaches & river foreshores
✅ Beach access pathways
✅ Golf bunkers & sports sandpits
Why Is Machine Cleaning Better Than Raking?
While raking helps with aeration and decompaction, it does not effectively remove debris, contaminants, or hazardous objects. Our machines use specialized sieve screens, including a 3mm x 3mm screed, which can capture even small shards of glass—ensuring a deeper, safer clean.
By contrast, a standard nail rake has gaps of approximately 65mm x 30mm, meaning many contaminants pass through without being removed.
What Size Sieve Screens Do You Use?
We use multiple sieve sizes, adjusting based on:
✔ The type of cleaning required
✔ The amount of debris present
✔ The frequency of previous maintenance
This ensures the most effective and thorough clean for every situation.
What Kind of Items Can the Machine Remove?
Our sand cleaning machine effectively sifts through large areas, removing:
🛑 Sharp Objects – Syringes, broken glass, metal scraps
🗑 Litter & Rubbish – Plastic, cans, straws, cigarette butts
🐾 Organic Waste – Animal droppings, decomposing leaves
🏖 Natural Debris – Stones, shells, weeds, grass roots
The efficiency of removal depends on the Sieve Screens used for the clean.
What If Grass Is Growing in the Sand Pit?
Our sand cleaning process removes unwanted grass, but we highly recommend applying a weed treatment two weeks before cleaning for best results.
