Abstract
An artificial turf remover and infill separator comprising an artificial turf removing station, an infill separating station and an artificial turf collection station. The infill separating station comprises rotatable spinning devices having corners, wherein each of the corners comprises chain links. The artificial turf remover and infill separator is utilized by positioning a strip of artificial turf on an angular ramp, conveying the artificial turf over a first pair of rotatable rollers, conveying the artificial turf between a second pair of rotatable rollers, separating infill from the artificial turf via fin-shaped picks, square-shaped rotatable diggers and the rotatable spinning devices, wherein the chain links jostle infill material from the artificial turf onto first and second infill collection conveyor belts. The artificial turf is then conveyed over first and second base rollers, between a rear pair of counter-rotating rollers and then wound around a final artificial turf collection roller.
