Hockey pitch/ artificial turf cleaning: lush green at all times of the year
Fully artificial turf should not only boast many years of useful life, but it should also provide optimal playing conditions and physiological qualities ideal for sports at all times of the year.
This is no longer the case if it is subjected to various environmental conditions. Not only obvious pollution caused by broken glass, cigarette butts or bottle caps, but in particular organic substances such as leaves, dust, plant residues or pollen or the fibre abrasion itself affect such a playing field. The surface infiltrated with humus particles is the ideal breeding ground for moss and algae, which leads to a tremendously increased risk of slips and injury for athletes.
The only remedy is cleaning at regular intervals (recommended: 2 times a year). The Sandmaster company offers an efficient cleaning process specifically developed for unfilled fully artificial turf areas, like for example hockey pitches. Large areas are cleaned in the wash and brush process without the addition of any chemicals.. This cleaning unit, consisting of a tractor as well as front and rear attachments, cleans polluted areas of up to 1.50 metres in width in just one work step. In the rear attachment there is a tank, divided into a fresh and a dirty water area. A high-pressure pump operating at 100 bar sucks in the fresh water and forces it through hoses to the front cleaning head. An injector pump transports the dirty water from the front working area rearwards to the dirty water tank. The dirty water can be discharged into a sewer manhole without any problems. As a service provider, Sandmaster performs not only standard cleaning jobs but also repair and refurbishing of damaged hockey pitches and artificial turf areas. (www.sandmaster.de)
