Process for separating synthetic turf product

A process for separating a dry or dried infill material comprising at least the consecutive steps of:

• a) providing an infill material;
• and
• b) subjecting the infill material to a step of separating the infill material by specific gravity to provide a low density fraction and a high density fraction,
• wherein the separation by specific gravity is preceded by a separation step of sieving (i) performed in a sieving means;
• wherein said separation step (i) provides:
• a large fraction where a length of a largest dimension of the material is 3 mm or higher, said large fraction substantially comprising non-infill material components;
• an intermediate fraction where the length of the largest dimension of the material is in the range of 0.8 mm and 3 mm and said intermediate fraction comprising a mixture of infill material and non-infill material;
• and
• a small fraction where the length of the largest dimension of the material is 0.8 mm or smaller, said small fraction substantially comprising infill material to the sieving means;
• and the sieving means comprising at least one sieve, where a first sieve has a mesh size of 0.8 mm and a second sieve has a mesh size of 3 mm.
