  • Patent number: 10889946
    Abstract: A system and method for removing rolls of synthetic turf by connecting a strip of synthetic turf to one or more winches powered by batteries or solar cells, the synthetic turf connected to the winches by a series of winch cables and a pull bar having one or more synthetic turf clamps, whereby once connected, the winches retract the winch cables thereby inverting the synthetic turf and moving the pull bar and synthetic turf across a connected comb. The comb has wheels, a frame, and agitating members such that when the synthetic turf is pulled over the comb, the comb causes vibrations in the synthetic turf so that the infill is displaced from the synthetic turf where the infill may then be collected in a receptacle below for transportation and recycling.
