Method for producing an artificial turf

A method for producing an artificial turf, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a carrier material having a top and a bottom;
• providing a plurality of fibers, wherein each fiber comprises two ends extending from the top of the carrier material, and comprises a connected region arranged in a loop-like manner at the bottom of the carrier material;
• feeding the carrier material with the fibers to a heated rotating calender roller;
• guiding the carrier material with the fibers over at least one sub-region of the surface of the heated rotating calender roller, wherein the connected regions of the fibers and the bottom of the carrier material face the calender roller;
• during the guiding of the carrier material with the fibers over the at least one sub-region of the surface of the heated rotating calender roller:
• transferring heat from the heated rotating calender roller to the carrier material with the fibers, and
• fusing the connected regions of the fibers with the bottom of the carrier material, to form the artificial turf;
• wherein the method further comprises:
• embossing a bottom of the artificial turf, wherein the embossing forms a recessed region of the bottom of the artificial turf;
• and
• removing and cooling the artificial turf.
