HOAF Thermal Weed Control
Hoaf Weed Burners provide Pesticide free weed control for public spaces, footpaths, carparks and homes.
The Hoaf Infra Plus System uses infrared radiation in combination with hot air. By exposing the unwanted vegetation to this process, the proteins in the weeds congeal and the moisture cells burst open at about 80°C. As a result the vegetation starts wilting and dies.
The design allows great access into tight areas and paths, but the working width of the unit is large enough for covering sizeable areas in a short time. Because the product relies on heat, it can be used in the wet; allowing your weed killing to be less weather dependent. The hood design makes it easy to get right up to obstacles and the low hood allows access under park benches and picnic tables.
We supply pedestrian products in two forms the first is unpowered push along burners and the second is a powered attachment for the K-Series, UBS-series Kersten machines and Matador Electric Two Wheel Tractor
