Applications
Spot 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.
Treatment of Narrow Access Areas
A common problem with many similar solutions to unwanted weeds is that they are large and unwieldy machines. The Ripagreen thermal lance is different with its man portable and lightweight design it allows for effective weed treatment anywhere you need it.
Replacing Glyphosate
Glyphosate is one of the most common weed killing solutions at the moment but it is coming under intense scrutiny as some studies have shown its negative impacts on local wildlife and ecologies. This is why we offer the Ripagreen as a product, its impressive capabilities allow it to carry out a similar function to chemicals while using heat. For a cleaner and more environmentally friendly result.
