This article explores how artificial turf for baseball fields is manufactured, as part of a series on baseball equipment production. It explains that artificial turf is a synthetic alternative to natural grass that requires less maintenance and provides consistent playing conditions. The manufacturing process begins with creating plastic fibers (usually polyethylene) through extrusion, followed by preparing a woven backing material. The fibers are then tufted through the backing using specialized machines. Additional coating is applied to secure the fibers, and the turf is rolled and cut to size for installation. The final steps involve installing the turf on prepared ground and adding infill materials like rubber granules or sand between the blades. The finished product provides a durable playing surface that can withstand various weather conditions and heavy use.
