How is BravoTurf Made?
Step 1: The Manufacturing Process of Synthetic Turf
It all starts with bags of plastic pellets, this is the base material for the turf. Our “master batches”, are key factors in determining the specific properties of the turf filament, for example, its fiber resilience, elasticity and surface temperature.
Advanced production facilities are used to create premium system components with precisely defined features, which are combined to form different products depending on the intended use. This results in sports surfaces with outstanding sport physiology-related properties, which enable an optimum user experience over the course of many years.
Step 2: Extrusion
Equipment melts and extrudes the plastic, this is then cooled and solidified. Machinery pulls the strands through an enormous comb which helps keep them separated whilst they head to the next station.
Step 3: Stretching and Spooling
Rollers stretch the strands until they become as thin as real grass, the stretching also strengthens them. Spools now roll up the synthetic strands. Once the spools are filled they are removed.
Next to several spools are unwound at a time. The strands come together to form a multiply synthetic yarn. The yarn travels over guides, this keeps it from slacking as a big spool winds it up.
Step 4: Backing and Tufting
Further down the production line, mesh fabric merges with synthetic sheeting while the multiply synthetic yarn travels through tubing to a tufting machine. The tufting machine is a giant sowing machine that has up to 250 needles. These needles hook the yarn through the mesh synthetic sheeting. They make hundreds of rows of stitches per minute. Underneath small knives cut the looped yarn so it looks like spikes of grass.
Step 5: Protective Coating
A plastic coating is applied to the back of the turf, this binds the looped web of artificial grass to the backing. This backing is dried, when exiting the drying area, hot pins burn holes into the turf to make it water permeable.
Step 6: Quality Check, Package and Ship
All our products are quality checked prior to packaging and shipping to our network of qualified installers.
As you can see this process is a whole lot faster than waiting for the grass to grow.
