Grounds crews that prepare a field for football and soccer games know the end zone lines and yard markers aren’t painted there by accident — their application is specific and must be highly accurate for fair play. Usually, these professionals use a paint striping machine for line-painting purposes. Work that involves caring for a football stadium, whether it’s a high school stadium, college field or professional league, requires the use of a turf painting machine to repaint those lines every week.
After the lines are painted, the equipment needs washed — every time. Unfortunately, the washing process means toxic paint residue containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can potentially contaminate the environment or escape into the atmosphere.
At ESD Waste2Water, we have the answer to this very serious problem. We know these professionals don’t want contaminated wastewater to leach into their playing field or the surrounding environment, and there may even be local regulations that could lead to serious fines if they let the water flow into a storm drain or septic tank.
Instead of putting their organization and the environment at risk, these professionals can wash their turf painting equipment by installing one of ESD Waste2Water’s paint sludge removal systems. These wash racks and rotary drum vacuum (RDV) systems capture wastewater as you use it, then clean it for reuse. These systems have proven effective for:

The closed-loop wash rack offers maximum water conservation during turf cleaning operations. When rinsing turf in the system, the equipment collects all runoff and separates out sludge, paint and other debris. Then, it cycles the water through a thorough treatment process before returning it for reuse in the system. As with all our sludge-drying equipment, this dryer complies with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Clean Water Act standards.
For the traveling turf expert, ESD Waste2Water’s portable wash racks offer efficiency and durability. This portable solution assembles and disassembles in minutes, allowing users to load it up and take it anywhere. It is easy to install and configure for various operations, and you can add accessories like walls and ramps. Get all the advantages of a closed-loop rack with the convenience of added transportability.
When it comes to the issue of unwanted paint sludge, the rotating disc drying unit is the perfect machine to help. It allows users to easily dispose of waste made up of water and paint sludge. Our RDV sludge drying system reduces moisture content in sludge by at least 85% by separating the water from the solid material and drying it into a cake for quick, easy and safe disposal. The paint-colored water turns clear when the paint particles end up in the solid cake, allowing it to be reintroduced to the closed-loop system for more use.
ESD Waste2Water has spent more than 30 years serving industrial, commercial and municipal operations by delivering quality, lasting products that remove pollutants and contaminants from essential resources. We prioritize sustainability and build it into every operation without question. Other benefits of choosing these paint sludge separators include:
