a method and system for processing and recycling infill material of artificial turf . the invention includes drying extracted infill material through a fluid bed dryer , the fluid bed dryer passes a process gas through a bed of solids via a perforated plate . the dried infill material is processed using a plurality of vibrating screens to remove excessively large or small particles from the infill material . the plurality of vibrating screens may be a set of progressively finer mesh screens . the processed infill material is separated by density . the density of the infill material may be determined by a high intensity , uniform sheet of laminar airflow . the separated infill material is discharged and is ready to be used again in another artificial turf . in one embodiment , the infill material includes at least one of graded sand , granulated styrene - butadiene rubber , cork , organic infill , thermoplastic elastomers , or ethylene propylene diene monomers .
