Infrared heater for weed control as a mounted device
ADLER Heater 1000 Light
Infrared heater as an attachment for thermal weed control for large paved areas such as parking lots, sidewalks and water-bound paths and areas. Thanks to its lightweight design, the Heater 1000 Light is suitable for carrier vehicles with low lifting capacity. Ideal for municipalities and garden and landscape designers, for example. With the ADLER Infrared Heater, you can destroy weeds in a non-toxic and environmentally friendly way.
How it works:
When an infrared heater is used as an attachment, infrared rays hit the weeds. This causes the protein-containing plant cells to burst. The plants wither within 2 to 3 days. Regular cultivation of the area and the associated destruction of the seeds over a large area significantly reduces the wild weeds and the regrowth is sustainably reduced. At the same time, this method is much gentler than conventional flaming devices.

Application
- For thermal processing of large areas.
- For carrier vehicles with little lifting power.
Advantages
- Environmentally friendly weed control using infrared rays.
- ADLER plug-and-play principle, hardly any set-up time.
- Temperatures of approx. 800 – 900 °C no additional media for weed control are necessary (such as water, foam additives, etc.)
- High-quality ceramic plates are used to generate infrared radiation using technology that has been tried and tested over many years
- Thermal weed control with infrared rays is effective against both weeds and their seeds
- Low gas consumption, almost silent and very energy efficient
- No open flame Devices can be used in a variety of ways and on almost any surface up to the edge

Note on gas installations
The gas systems of devices for thermal weed control must be checked regularly to ensure safe operation of the system.
The inspection of these systems must be carried out by a “person qualified to inspect” and is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the accident prevention regulation “Use of liquid gas” (DGUV 79)
The inspection interval for the ADLER Heater gas systems is 2 years.
ADLER Arbeitsmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG carries out the initial inspection in cooperation with Westfalen AG.
We also recommend Westfalen AG for the upcoming recurring inspections, as they have technicians and service partners working throughout Germany.
