The comprehensive program for paved areas, sidewalks, water-bound paths, cemetery maintenance and much more.
With the ADLER Infrared Heater, you can destroy weeds in a non-toxic and environmentally friendly way.
Functionality:
When a hand-held infrared weed killer is used, 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 significantly pushes back the weeds and sustainably reduces regrowth.

Note on gas systems
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 authorized to inspect” and is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the accident prevention regulation “Use of liquefied gas” (DGUV 110-010) and in accordance with DGUV 310-005.
The inspection interval for ADLER Heater gas systems is 2 years.
ADLER Arbeitsmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG carries out the initial tests in cooperation with Westfalen AG.
We also recommend Westfalen AG for the upcoming periodic inspections, as they have technicians and service partners throughout Germany.
