Beach Grooming & Sifting

Very few companies are able to offer beach grooming and sand sifting services to their clients.  We feel it is just as important to pay attention to the upper beach; the area most used by beachgoers! At Beach Raker we use a combination of specialized equipment including Barber Surf Rakes, Beach Tech STR 3000, Cherrington Sand Sifter, and Barber Sandman to groom and sift the upper portion of beach. Our beach grooming and sand sifting equipment removes small trash items, such as, bottles, cans, and cups while aerating the sand at the same time.

It is impossible to pick up these small trash items by hand.

As the Barber Surf Rake moves across the beach, the mechanical tines rotate through the sand and pick up small objects and deposit them into the waste bucket at the back of the surf rake.  At the end of the process, the waste bucket is mechanically lifted and the waste material and recyclables are sorted then deposited into our waste disposal and recyclables containers off the beach.

Our Beach Tech STR 3000, Cherrington Sand Sifters and Barber Sandmans are used on the upper portion of the beach and hard to reach places, to remove small items like cigarette ends, bottle caps, glass, plastic, shells, rocks, etc.,  that are mixed in with the sand.

The sifters have a conveyor system that picks up the top layer of the sand and sifts the contents separating the sand, which falls back onto the beach through a screen, the small unwanted items which are deposited into the equipment’s waste bucket.
