Complete Extrusion Line for Artificial Grass Yarn

PP - HDPE - LLDPE - PA6 - FIBRILLATED TAPE and MONOTAPE

Artificial grass is the last wonder application of the pastic textile sector having worlwide demand with double growing trend.
Polypropilene, polyethylene, nylon are the basical raw material mainly used for producing yarn for sports, leisure & landscaping applications.

The artificial grass industry is a deep B2B market with a supply chain involving a broad range of process: polymer supplier, yarn producer, handling, tufting, up to field installation and maintenance.
All of these process are strategic to realize a first quality product and service.

In the artificial grass sector, SIMA put in place its wide experience on extrusion and handling process to develop complete turn key solution producing twisted bobbin yarn ready to be tufted.
Fibrillated ape, various shape monofilament mono and bi color/material, having technical features comply with sport associations standard (FIFA/UEFA) or simply accordindig to specific customer requirements, can be produced on SIMA synthetic grass equipments.
