METHOD OF REPLACING ARTIFICIAL LAWN AND ARTIFICIAL LAWN DISPOSAL APPARATUS

摘要

Existing artificial turf filled with filler is removed from a laying surface, and the removed artificial turf is processed by a movable artificial turf processing apparatus placed adjacent to the laying surface. The artificial turf processing apparatus has a one-shaft type shredder 11 for shredding artificial turf, a centrifugal-type segregator 12 for segregating shredded pieces of artificial turf bodies and the filler, and a band type drier 13 for drying the filler, which are installed on a pedestal 10 of a large truck. The filler is recovered from the artificial turf in vicinity of the laying surface, and thus labor and a cost for transporting the artificial turf to a shredding station, a processing station and/or the like can be reduced. The recovery of the filler from the artificial turf in vicinity of the laying surface makes it possible to quickly obtain filler for use in new artificial turf and thus reduces a term of a work of the replacement.
