Paint and precision: Agrovista’s new line-marking duo sets new standards

Agrovista Amenity has introduced two new innovations to support grounds teams with accurate, efficient pitch marking.

The Max-Line line-marking paint range and the exclusive PaintMaster Pro RLM01 robotic line marker. Together, they provide a simple, reliable solution for achieving professional results across a wide range of sports facilities.

Agrovista Amenity, robotMax-Line: Superior line-marking performance

Max-Line is Agrovista Amenity’s latest line-marking paint range, developed to deliver exceptional coverage, durability, and visibility.

Designed for both conventional and robotic line-marking systems, the paint is formulated to deliver crisp, long-lasting lines that withstand play and weather conditions.

David Mitchell, Line Marking Business Development Manager at Agrovista Amenity, explained the thinking behind the new range:

“What we wanted to do was create a line-marking offer that is simplified but effective, covering all the bases while looking forward to the latest paint formulation technology.”

David highlighted how ranges within Max-Line have been designed with robotic markers in mind:

“With our nozzle technology, you can mark out a full-size pitch using under three litres of paint.

That means a robotic marker can complete multiple pitches without having to constantly stop and refill, which is exactly what grounds teams need.

“We’ve also moved away from the throwaway plastic nozzles, which when blocked are difficult to clean and gone to stainless steel nozzles that can be stripped down, cleaned, and reused.

“If you don’t lose it, you’ve basically got a nozzle for life. It’s all about making the process sustainable, easier and more reliable for the customer.”

PaintMaster Pro RLM01: Exclusive to Agrovista Amenity

The PaintMaster Pro RLM01 is available exclusively through Agrovista Amenity in the UK.

Compact and intelligent, it sets a new benchmark for robotic line marking, combining centimetre-level GNSS positioning with simple, intuitive controls.

Key features include:

High precision: Dual GNSS positioning and optional laser kit deliver centimetre-level accuracy, even under trees or near stands.

Smart efficiency: A 0.5 kWh battery marks up to 8 full-size football pitches, with the option to extend to 16. Quick battery swaps allow continuous operation.

Smart control: Cloud-based software with real-time monitoring, multi-device management, automatic field switching, and remote app control.

Built around you: Portable design, quick-change paint refills, simple maintenance, and finance options.

Optional attachments, such as a handheld point marker and laser kit, further enhance flexibility, making the RLM01 suitable for football, rugby, athletics, and multi-sport facilities.

David believes it is a genuine step forward for grounds teams:

“For me, this robotic line marker represents the next step. It’s compact, easy to use, and incredibly efficient.

“Grounds teams can set it up quickly, let it get on with the job, and focus on other tasks — that’s where the real value lies.”

He added that its affordability also makes it stand out:

“We’ve been able to bring this robot to market at a much more accessible price point.

“I’ve already got customers, including contractors and local authorities, who are choosing to buy two machines instead of one because it makes sense for their budgets and doubles their productivity.

“In addition, we also offer finance and lease options that can be individually tailored to help fit within budgets.

“Recognising the importance of after-sales support we have partnered with XDC Autonomous Solutions who have considerable knowledge and expertise in the line marking robotics industry.

“XDC provide our customers with a comprehensive installation, training and support package via their UK based customer service team.”

A complete pitch-marking solution

By pairing the high-performance Max-Line paint with the cutting-edge PaintMaster Pro RLM01, Agrovista Amenity is offering grounds teams a package that saves time, reduces effort, and improves cost-effectiveness — all without compromising on quality.

“Our objective was to make life easier for grounds teams,” David concluded.

“Max-Line gives them a reliable paint system that works brilliantly with both manual and robotic machines, while the RLM01 makes robotic marking more affordable and accessible than ever before.

“Together, they offer a solution that’s simple, efficient, and built around the customer.”

I know that the proper way is to dismantle the blades and sharpen them on a bench jig every time, but that ain't happening! What is people's preferred method for a touch-up between services? File, dremel, angle grinder?
