Xtraction Ltd puts in a premiership performance

The Xtraction Turf Muncher machine was recently used to reclaim valuable infill from All Weather Pitches at Premier League Champions Chelsea FC’s academy in Cobham, Surrey. The UKAS laboratory-tested infill and carpet were reused. Xtraction director Tim Gallagher said: “On-site reclamation reduces the carbon footprint linked to transportation and creates a viable product that might otherwise be disposed of in an unethical way.”
