Flow Filled artificial turf is influenced by the environment from the first day on.

Dust, pollen, rests of plants and abrasion material are washed by rain into the fine cavities of the filling. The result of this process is a total hardened surface with no longer water permeability. The covering infiltrated with particles of humus causes the ideal breeding ground for algae and moss. An artificial turf that got dirty like that can no longer meet its purpose. It exists an extreme danger of slipping and with that a not calculable accident risk.

Only with constant maintenance and care a filled artificial turf can keep permanently its favourable quality and can be used effectively for many years.
For an effective care it is necessary to pick up the filling material off the turf pile in regular intervals. Coarse soilings are to be sieved and fine dust filtered. The bent turf fibres shall be reset upright and the filling material brought back to the turf fibres for stabilization. The surface shall show an even sight after treatment.

To be able to work reliable and inexpensive we developed our artificial turf cleaner SKU as an assembling unit for compact tractors. There are three different processes that can be done with this machine due to its big brush diameter of 500 mm.

1. Maintenance cleaning:
Depending on weather every two to four weeks. Coarse soiling and accumulated dust as well as abrasion is removed.

2. Intensive cleaning with loosening:
About every 3 months. Coarse soiling is removed, fine particles like dust, plant rests and abrasion is filtered, filling is loosened, elasticity and drainage effect is maintained.
