Eureka Kobra’s Padel-Care System: the 3-in-1 solution for keeping padel courts in tip-top condition

To meet the needs of padel facilities, Eureka has developed Padel-Care System, a special kit that transforms the Kobra sweeper into a professional solution for maintaining playing surfaces in artificial turf.

The result is an extremely versatile machine that allows three key operations to be carried out in a single pass: court maintenance, infill redistribution, and cleaning off-court areas.

Three functions in a single machine

One of the main advantages of Padel-Care System is its ability to carry out three essential tasks for the maintenance of sports centres with artificial turf courts:

1. Infill redistribution. As time goes by, as a result of constant player movement, the silica sand infill tends to move and accumulate in certain areas of the court. This can result in uneven playing surfaces, affecting ball bounce and increasing wear and tear on the artificial surface. Padel-Care System recovers infill material and redistributes it evenly, maintaining a constant level and preserving the technical characteristics of the surface.
2. Sweeping and debris collection. During normal use, leaves, dust, insects, small pieces of rubbish and, above all, padel ball fibres accumulate – especially on outdoor courts. The Kobra sweeper effectively removes all such debris, keeping the surface clean and tidy. What’s more, thanks to its flap lift system, the Kobra can easily collect even bulky pieces of litter like cans, cups and small water bottles often left behind on the court. Regular cleaning prevents dirt from building up between the fibres of the artificial turf, preserving the quality of the surface and improving the playing experience.
3. Using the same machine for all areas of the sports centre. Unlike specialist equipment that is designed exclusively for court maintenance, the Kobra sweeper retains its full versatility. The special Padel-Care System basket can be removed and replaced quickly and easily. In next to no time, you can configure the machine for court maintenance or return it to its standard configuration to clean other areas within the sports facility or courts with different types of surface. The Kobra sweeper also boasts a particularly useful feature for this purpose: it is fitted with anti-trace wheels that allow it to sweep even the most delicate surfaces without leaving unsightly black rubber marks on the floor. 

The Kobra can therefore be used to clean:

• changing rooms;
• reception areas;
• corridors;
• common areas;
• outdoor walkways;
• car parks and access areas.

Sports centres can therefore use just one machine for a wide range of cleaning activities, optimising return on investment and reducing running costs.

Rapid maintenance: a quarter of an hour per court

It only takes a quarter of an hour to complete the ordinary maintenance of a padel court, leaving the surface clean, even and ready to deliver a superb playing experience.
Thanks to Padel-Care System, dirt and debris are collected, and infill material is recovered and evenly redistributed at the same time. This enables sports facility managers to optimise usage, reduce downtime and ensure that players always enjoy the best possible court conditions.
The system’s secret: a double separating grille
One of the most innovative features of Padel-Care System is its double grille, which is specially designed to meet the needs of artificial turf courts.

During cleaning, collected material undergoes smart sorting:

• sand infill is allowed to pass through and return to the court surface;
• dirt and debris are effectively captured;
• fluff and ball fibres are trapped before they reach the filter.

Fibre deposits are caused mainly by wear and tear on the felt covering of padel balls, which is generally made of wool, nylon or a combination of both. Thousands of impacts with the artificial turf and walls of the court cause tiny fibres to come loose and accumulate on the surface of the court. Padel-Care System’s double grille allows the quartz or silica sand infill to pass through the system and return to the surface while effectively trapping dirt, debris and felt fibres. This smart process eliminates one of the main problems associated with padel court maintenance: the accumulation of fibres that can compromise the efficiency of conventional sweepers.

Fewer blockages, cleaner filters

Thanks to Padel-Care System’s double grille, the sweeper’s filter stays clean for longer, ensuring continuous operation and peak efficiency at all times.

The benefits of a constantly efficient filter
Keeping the filter clean does more than just reduce the amount of maintenance required.

A clog-free filter means:

• improved dirt collection;
• consistent performance;
• less suction loss;
• less machine downtime;
• increased productivity;
• less wear and tear on components.

In practice, the sweeper performs better, requires less maintenance and delivers more consistent results throughout the cleaning cycle.

A court in tip-top condition enhances the playing experience
Players can immediately tell the difference between a properly maintained court and a neglected one. A smooth, clean, and perfectly level surface improves the quality of play and, therefore, customer satisfaction.
For sports centre operators, this means providing a superior service, building customer loyalty and ensuring that the facility preserves its value over time.
