The GreenZapr® represents a new paradigm in synthetic turf safety. Built around germicidal ultraviolet (UVC) lights, the GreenZapr disinfects synthetic surfaces with powerful exposure, instantly destroying harmful micro-organisms. From viruses such as Hepatitis, STAPH, and E-Coli to Salmonella, HIV and the Influenza viruses, GreenZapr creates the ultimate benchmark for field safety.
Powered by a portable Honda generator or optional rechargeable gel cell, the UVC lamps are mated into two reflector modules. The standard 3-pass treatment places over 6,707µW/cm² of UVC energy on any given portion of the field — killing all harmful micro-organisms.
Compared to other sanitation techniques, the GreenZapr is the most efficient, most cost-effective method available to the industry.
The GreenZapr® uses a total of sixteen (16) specifically designed UVC lamps. It’s designed to operate at a distance of 2.5” from the surface. At this distance, the energy intensity (measured in terms of micro watts per square centimeter) is 6,558 µW-s/cm². When operating the unit at the recommended 3-pass/6 mph method, the “dosage” is 6,707 µJ/cm² . For reference, Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) requires 6,600µW/cm² for a 3-log (99.9%) reduction.
The GreenZapr is a tow-behind unit, with high-quality roller bearings on the running gear for smooth, easy operation. The GreenZapr is equipped with a safety "position sensor" to shut the unit off when being raised and the SMART control module shuts off power to the unit when not in operation.
Quick Facts:
The GreenZapr disinfects synthetic turf surfaces with powerful germicidal UVC lights. Harmful micro-organisms such as MRSA, HIV, and influenza are eradicated through DNA destruction, eliminating the potential for “Super Bugs”.

Ultra-Violet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) is used in a variety of applications, such as food, air and water purification. UV has been a known mutagen at the cellular level for more than one-hundred years. The 1903 Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to Niels Finsen for his use of UV against tuberculosis. Application of UV irradiation to purify water was a technique invented by Ashok Gadgil.
UVGI utilizes short-wavelength ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) that is harmful to micro organisms. This wavelength of UV is rare on Earth as its atmosphere blocks it. It is effective in destroying the nucleic acids in these organisms so that their DNA is disrupted by the UV radiation. This removes their reproductive capabilities and kills them.
During the 1950s UVGI is incorporated into air handling equipment and has become important in many clean rooms, surgical suites, and food processing. In the early 1990’s, UVGI was pioneered into significant water treatment processing for municipal systems as well as for treatment of swimming pools. The introduction of UVC into HVAC systems is pioneered in 1996.
