Manufacturing
At Realturf we are proud of our production capacity and the quality of our products. Each roll is woven, finished, and always tested at the country of origin to guarantee the best possible quality. All our products are manufactured and commercialized in accordance with the ISO-9001 International Standards for Quality and Environmental Management ISO 14001.
Since our beginnings, we have patiently reviewed and tested different developments and technologies. Today we offer you an outstanding team of experienced professionals and a quality solution on how to use the latest generation artificial grass for sports or ornamental purposes. Our products are manufactured with the sole objective of finding a balance between functionality and aesthetics.
You are invited to experience our motivation:
To make the best products!
Spanish Origin Certification
Realturf, national manufacturer of artificial grass, has been awarded with the label of the Spanish Origin Certificate (OEC). The OEC seal contributes to promote and increase the economic and social value of Spanish companies that manufacture in Spain, making these companies more visible and enhancing consumer identifying of our products.
The products certified with the OEC seal went through an exhaustive audit and control of the materials to check their national origin.
Our manufacturing process
R&D and Design
Our R&D department spends every month of the year in developing the concept, design, models, and testing new products. We are in a continuous improvement process. We rely on the opinion of our thousands of clients in our design process. Our only objective is to find the balance between functionality and aesthetics.
Fiber extrusion and manufacturing
This is a key moment for the quality of our products and the proper use of the technology. The chosen raw materials are melted through an extrusion process in a perforated steel plate to create the threads that will be used later in the final product.
The threads are tightened and stretched until a fiber as fine as the natural grass remains and several fibers combine to make multiple thread spools.
Fabric
A machine fed by hundreds of spools sews the fabric to the backing or grass base. On the other side, blades cut the fiber to the desired height, density and stitch separation which will make the manufactured product with unique final technical characteristics.
Supervision
In case there is any irregular stitch, it´s detected by a supervisor and fixed manually on the spot. According to our quality protocol, a triple supervision is carried out: while the product is woven, when going through the oven right before packaging, and when checking the technical characteristics of each batch at the lab.
Base sealing and drilling
A sealing layer is printed on the backing by a roller. An oven at constant temperature seals and gives the product dimensional stability and fiber grip. During the process high temperature needles drill the backing to help the subsequent drainage of our products.
Lab Testing
The lawn goes through internal quality controls to ensure that it complies with the technical specifications established in our ISO 9001 quality standard. Many of our products are also sent to independent laboratories to certify quality complying with regulations as strict as FIFA, RFEF, ITF, FEP, FIH, or WR.
Packaging, Labeling and Storage
The grass is finally packed in rolls of up to 70 meters (230 feet) and stored until it leaves to its destination. Each roll is labeled with a barcode that identifies every consignment produced. This barcode can trace the product until it is installed at your home or sports center. Our logistics warehouse in Alicante serves thousands of clients across all five continents.
