Snow and ice free
Artificial turf heating – constant playing conditions 365 days a year
Artificial turf heating systems ensure that in football and other sports, playing fields are available for training or competition in the best quality 365 days a year. Some German professional clubs, including FC Bayern Munich, VfB Stuttgart and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, rely on artificial turf heating systems from AST.
The artificial turf heating system we have developed is characterized by particularly low energy consumption and does not require environmentally harmful antifreeze. It helps stadium operators to meet environmental and sustainability goals.
The technology under the lawn
The AST heating mats form the heart of the system. The heat energy generated is transferred directly to the water circulating in the system via an efficient heat exchanger. This heated water is passed through the heating mat system using a powerful pump.
Since the heating mats are laid directly under the artificial turf, heat loss is reduced by around 50% compared to conventional systems. Even a low flow temperature of around +24 °C is sufficient to keep the lawn reliably free of snow.
