Zusammenfassung:A method for producing an artificial turf comprises providing a carrier material and a plurality of fibers, each fiber having ends extending from the top of the carrier material and having a connected region arranged in a loop-like manner at the bottom of the carrier material. The carrier material is fed with the fibers to a heated rotating calender roller and guided over at least one sub-region of the surface of the heated rotating calender roller, with the connected regions of the fibers and the bottom of the carrier material facing the calender roller. The method further includes, during the guiding step, transferring heat from the heated rotating calender roller to the carrier 10 material and the fibers, fusing the connected regions of the fibers with the bottom of the carrier material to form the artificial turf, and embossing the bottom of the artificial turf.
