Vehicle-Mounted Hot Air Weeder 100 cm Working Width
The HOAF WeedAir 1002 IB is a powerful, fire-safe solution for large-scale weed control. Designed for vehicle mounting, it effectively removes weeds on paved and unpaved surfaces, including public spaces and fire-sensitive areas. The integrated control panel allows operators to monitor and adjust temperature settings directly from the tool carrier.
The WeedAir 1002 IB utilises a hot air to wilt and destroy weed cells while minimizing heat loss. The fully enclosed burner hood with stainless steel construction and insulation ensures efficient heat distribution. Powered by propane gas with a vapor-phase extraction gas bottle, it provides consistent and chemical-free weed control.

Product Applications
Treating Moss and Weeds
The life of a weed is cyclical; with many stages in its growth. One of the ways we can manage weeds is by interrupting the cycle at different stages. A burst of heat congeals the cells within the plant leaves, preventing it from photosynthesising... we can also use this technique on seeds, which are made of similar material - rendering them incapable of producing a plant. Using the method over time will lead to a great reduction in weeds on the surface.
