An apparatus for recycling a filler included in artificial turf by sorting the filler into two or more materials, comprising:
- a first sorting apparatus configured to sort the two or more materials based on a grain size;
- a second sorting apparatus configured to sort the materials, which are sorted by the first sorting apparatus, and have grain sizes belonging to a predetermined range, based on the specific gravity by using centrifugal force or specific gravity difference;
- and
- a third sorting apparatus configured to sort the materials, which are sorted by the first sorting apparatus or the second sorting apparatus and have the grain sizes belonging to the predetermined range, based on specific gravity again by using vibration.
