Horger Astroturf

For effective maintenance of artificial turf, it is necessary to take the infill material out of the artificial grass surface at regular intervals to remove, by the use of screens, the coarse contaminants and also to filter out the fine particulate matter (dust), this is where Horger Astroturf has the solution.

Filled artificial turf is affected by the environment from the first day on. Dust, pollen, the residue from decaying vegetation and broken fibres are washed by rain into the fine cavities of the infill material.
The result of this process is a totally hardened surface which no longer allows water to permeate through. The infill contaminated with particles of humus is also an ideal breeding ground for algae and moss.
An artificial turf surface that is that dirty no longer meets its purpose. It also poses an extreme risk to players, of slipping and falling and that is not a calculable accident risk. Only with constant maintenance and care can a filled artificial turf sports surface permanently keep its intended quality and can continue to be usedeffectively for many years. For an effective care it is necessary to lift the in fill material out of the pile at regular intervals, coarse contaminants must be sieved out and fine dust filtered from the infill. The bent turf fibres must be reset upright and the infill material installed back into the turf fibres to stabilise them. The surface musappear even to the eye after treatment.
