Description

A synthetic turf infill collection containment system is a specialized tray system installed at synthetic turf field entry and exit points to capture migrating infill material as people and equipment leave the playing surface. This system helps collect loose rubber or sand infill before it spreads outside the field area.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a synthetic turf infill collection containment system?

A synthetic turf infill collection containment system is a specialized tray system installed at synthetic turf field entry and exit points to capture migrating infill material as people and equipment leave the playing surface. This system helps collect loose rubber or sand infill before it spreads outside the field area.

Why are infill collection containment systems used on synthetic turf fields?

Synthetic turf fields can experience infill migration and pellet flyout, especially at gates and access points. A synthetic turf infill collection containment system captures that loose material and keeps it contained so it can be removed and returned to the field.

What types of synthetic turf infill containment systems are available?

Sportsfield offers two versions of synthetic turf infill collection containment systems. A pedestrian system designed for player entry and exit points and an equipment system designed for maintenance equipment and vehicles entering or leaving the field.

How does the pedestrian synthetic turf infill collection system work?

The pedestrian system uses galvanized steel grates and nylon brush assemblies that remove infill from players’ cleats as they walk across the system. The infill is captured in the containment tray below the surface.

How does the equipment infill containment system differ from the pedestrian version?

The equipment system includes heavy duty galvanized steel grates rated for vehicular traffic, allowing maintenance equipment or emergency vehicles to drive over the system while still capturing migrating infill.

How is infill collected and removed from the containment system?

The infill that collects in the trays can be removed using a vacuum or other maintenance equipment so it can be reused or properly disposed of.

Does the synthetic turf infill collection containment system allow drainage?

The containment system features an open bottom design for drainage, which allows water to pass through while still collecting infill particles.

What filtration components are included in the infill containment system?

The system includes removable vinyl mesh filters and aluminum filter clamping panels that help capture infill material while allowing water and debris to pass through.

Can the infill collection containment system be serviced or cleaned easily?

The system includes removable and replaceable filters and access components, allowing maintenance crews to easily clean or replace parts when necessary.

Where are synthetic turf infill collection containment systems typically installed?

These systems are typically installed at synthetic turf field gates, access paths, and equipment entry points where infill migration is most likely to occur.

Can the containment system support maintenance equipment or vehicles?

The equipment containment system includes heavy duty galvanized steel grates that are rated for vehicular traffic so maintenance vehicles can safely drive over the system.
