Scraper mats

Limit the spread of infill, microplastics and dirt with W&H scraper mats. We supply scraper mats for access gates at artificial turf fields and cleaning brushes for shoes in different versions and sizes.

Scraper mats are often used at the entrances and exits of artificial turf fields, sports facilities and buildings. They help to remove dirt and loose material from athletes, visitors and maintenance machines before it ends up outside the field or the facility. In this way, scraper mats contribute to a cleaner, neater and better managed sports environment.

More about scraper mats

Scraper mats help keep infill, microplastics, sand and dirt on the sports field or inside the facility as much as possible. Especially at artificial turf fields, rubber granulate, artificial grass fibres and other loose material can end up outside the field via shoes, clothing and maintenance machines. By placing scraper mats at access gates and frequently used walking routes, the spread of these materials is limited.

W&H supplies scraper mats, cleaning mats, cleaning brushes and shoe brushes for sports clubs, municipalities, schools, sports halls and operators of sports facilities. Depending on the application, the appropriate version, size and positioning can be considered.

Scraper mats are often placed at the access gates of artificial turf fields. Athletes and coaches walk over the mat when leaving the field, which removes infill and dirt from shoes more effectively. This helps limit the spread of loose material outside the field.

For good operation, walking length is important. The longer the user walks over the scraper mat, the better the dirt and infill can be loosened. That is why it is important to match the dimensions and position of the mat to the walking route.

In addition to scraper mats for artificial turf fields, we also supply cleaning mats and shoe brushes. These are often used at entrances to sports facilities, changing room areas, club buildings, schools and other buildings where dirt tracked in needs to be limited.

Shoe brushes enable users to clean their shoes easily before entering the building. This contributes to a cleaner floor and can help to limit cleaning and maintenance costs.

For situations where extra collection is needed, you can choose a version with recessed dirt collection. In this case, dirt, sand, infill and microplastics are captured more effectively, so they are less likely to end up outside the field or in the surrounding area.

A scraper mat with dirt collection is particularly interesting for artificial turf fields where preserving infill and limiting the spread are important points. This makes the solution suitable for sports parks that actively focus on maintenance and preventive measures.

Our range also includes GreenMatter recycled scraper mats. These are made from materials from old artificial turf fields, connecting to a circular setup for sports parks.

With a recycled scraper mat, you choose a practical measure against the spread of infill and microplastics, and you also help to apply materials again from worn-out artificial turf fields. This way, circularity literally returns to and around the sports field.

At artificial turf fields, it is important to prevent the spread of loose material and fibres as much as possible. That is why scraper mats are often used as part of preventive measures around preserving infill and countering microplastics.

Together with solutions such as edging boards, cleaning zones and good maintenance routines, scraper mats can help keep the sports field better manageable. We are happy to think along about the right combination of measures for your facility.

Which scraper mat is most suitable depends on the function, location and how it is used. Important questions include, for example, where the mat will be placed, how many people walk over it every day, whether the mat is located inside or outside, and how the mat needs to be maintained.

The size, walking direction, dirt collection, colour and placement also play a role. W&H can advise on the right version and dimensions so the scraper mat fits well with the situation on site.

A scraper mat works best when it is placed in a logical spot in the walking route. At artificial turf fields, this is often directly at the access gate or exit of the field. The direction of walking must run as well as possible over the scraper profiles.

We can also help think about the placement of scraper mats. We look at the routing, available space, connection to the field and practical feasibility.

Brush mats are mainly used at access gates of artificial turf fields, entrances of sports facilities, changing room areas, schools and buildings where dirt tracking in or the spread of infill needs to be limited.

A brush mat with dirt collection captures infill, sand and dirt better. This prevents this material from being spread further and makes it easier to remove during maintenance.
