Flame Weeder Agricultural Version
Thermal weeding with the heat diffuser Ø50cm
Version for vineyards, tree cultivation, tree nurseries
The machine is semi-mounted on the tractor’s three-point linkage, allowing the transport of 4 P35 cylinders (140 kg of gas). The two diffusers offer a working treatment of Ø50 cm in diameter each. Perfectly adapted and designed for row crops (vineyards, orchards, nurseries, etc.). The rotating bell ensures perfect contouring of vines, trees and shrubs. The skids ensure the bearing capacity of the unit as well as the height reference. The gas cylinders are locked by a tubular lock. The height of the diffusers is adjusted by a hydraulic actuator.
Important: The agricultural versions have the particularity of being able to perform three operations:
“Désherbage, Épamprage et Effeuillage”
Performance table
Fuel | Propane in gas phase |
Width of treatment | 40 to 50 cm per diffuser |
Forward speed | 2 to 3 km/h |
Operating pressure | 0.8 to 1,2 bar |
Empty weight | 250 kg |
Loaded weight of propane | 530 kg |
Autonomy | 10 h to 14 h |
Working power | 60 to 95 kw/diffuser |
Traction power required | 70 hp 4WDCalculation of the efficiency for a heat treatment: |
Feed speed (m/h) x treatment width (m) = m²/h
Calculation: 2500 x 0.4 = 1000m²/h for 1 diffuser (i.e. 2000m²/h for 2 diffusers)
Quantity of gas | 140kg |
Operating time | 10h |
Surface treated | 2000m²/h |
Total area treated with 140kg of gas | 5 to 6 ha ** |
Treatment cost for a professional about 1€/kg excl. | 24 €/ha ** |
**Example: for a vine planted at 2 metres
