Abstract
A method is described for recycling the infill of a synthetic turf, said infill being formed by a plurality of different granular materials, including at least sand granules, polymeric material granules and synthetic grass filaments, said method comprising the following steps: drying the infill, screening the infill through a plurality of successive screens (130,140,180,185) each having passage holes of different sizes subdividing the infill into a plurality of groups of granular material having different size ranges, separating each group of granular material into two subgroups of granular material based on the difference in density of the materials, and conveying the separated subgroups of granular materials to different collection containers.

A method for recycling the infill of a synthetic turf, said infill being formed by a plurality of different granular materials, including at least sand granules, polymeric material granules and synthetic grass filaments, said method comprising the following steps:
- drying the infill,
- screening the infill through a plurality of successive screens each having passage holes of different sizes,
- subdividing the infill into a plurality of groups of granular material having different size ranges,
- conveying at least one group of granular material through a plurality of rods transverse to an advancement direction of the group of granular material, wherein the rods are made of an electrically insulating material and are connected to an electrical power source, and
- separating each group of granular material into two subgroups of granular material based on the difference in density of the materials.
