Baseball - Prochem makes for a clean game

Prochem Legend and Performer hot water extraction cleaning machines are being used to clean Japan's Chiba Marine Stadium and Domes at Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka

Baseball is big in Japan but cleaning dirt-clogged artificial turf at some of its premier baseball venues has been tough until recently. Cleaners have been striking out in the fight against impacted dirt.

Chief culprit in the fight against soiling is clay build-up to infields. Sweepers are used in some stadiums to clean the turf but this only tackles surface dirt and does not remove clay. This is even more of a problem with outdoor venues where the weather conditions harden the clay.

Outdoor artificial turf areas have even more soil and debris than domed stadiums. All artificial turf areas have white boundary lines made from chalk and water or water-based paint and these are removed using a high pressure gun after which a truckmount system cleans the residue.

Said Kazuo Oda: "Japanese cleaning technicians are proving that Prochem equipment set the world standard for hot water extraction equipment."
