Artificial Turf Production Line
I. Product Description
The artificial turf production line is a specialized system for manufacturing high-simulation, durable, low-maintenance synthetic turf for sports fields, landscaping, and recreational areas. It transforms PP (polypropylene) and PE (polyethylene) plastic raw materials into monofilament grass fibers through core processes like filament extrusion, tufting (or needling), backing application, drying, and winding. The final product features realistic blade morphology, vibrant color, good elasticity, UV resistance, and wear resistance, making it essential for modern sports and landscape construction.
