Thermal Weed Control

Ripagreen - Mobility Kit

The Ripagreen Mobility Kit is a comfortable lightweight backpack system for treating weeds. The innovative Ripagreen® ergonomic harness accepts all types of “small” gas cylinders (5 to 6 kg propane). It offers optimal comfort with adjustable straps and swivel stainless steel arm at the front.

The RIPAGREEN® thermal lance has adjustable heating power. It diffuses the heat from a short and rigid flame through its stainless steel nozzle. It is designed for ergonomic use by a single operator either pushed to cover large areas quickly and effortlessly, or carried to deal with complex or isolated areas.

The stainless steel heat diffuser can rotate 360° and blows a steady ray of heat in order to guarantee precise weeding over an area 40 cm in width (16 inches). Its unique manufacturing design and quality materials make it extremely durable and long-lasting.

The Easy Kit is made up of an ergonomic trolley carrying a 13kg (30 lbs) gas bottle, along with a thermal lance suited for “comfortable” weeding in push mode or “precision” weeding in carry mode. The various configurations possible, along with the power of the hot air stream, provide you optimum working comfort and unprecedented adaptability.

Ripagreen Easy+ Kit

The Easy + Kit is made up of the trolley and lance from the Easy Kit, and the Ripagreen® ergonomic harness. This means you can enjoy the freedom of movement a 13kg (30 lbs) bottle provides, and still work with one hand. This allows you to cover larger areas with unparalleled levels of comfort.

The Autonomy Kit features an adjustable support frame to keep the bottle(s) securely in place, an automatic 15m hose reel (49 ft), and a light, easy-to-handle mini lance. With this unit loaded onto your vehicle, your environmentally friendly weeding will know no limits.

Additional Universal Mounting frames can be purchased to add more gas cylinders to keep you going for longer periods.

Hoaf WEED-Air 50i

The HOAF WeedAir® 50i uses heated air to control unwanted vegetation on all types of paved and unpaved surfaces. A powerful air flow is evenly distributed under the insulated hood. By exposing the plant to this heat, the proteins in the weeds congeal and the moisture cells burst open. As a result the vegetation starts to wilt and die.

The compact and lightweight design make the HOAF WeedAir® 50i comfortable to operate on various surfaces. The large wheels reduce the effort required to travel on pavements, kerbs and unpaved paths. The handle bar is easily adjustable with 3 height settings to suit different operators. A simple one touch ignition starts the HOAF WeedAir® 50i. The working temperature is indicated on a digital display. The rechargeable battery for the temperature sensor has a duty time of approximately 40 hours. A battery charger is included. Well isolated The burner is isolated from the vegetation, reducing the risk of fire. A stainless steel hood containing the heated air is fully enclosed and insulated all around, allowing minimal heat loss and increasing the efficiency of the fuel.
