Hand-held infrared heater
for weed control
The holistic weed control 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.
How it works:
When a hand-held infrared heater is used, infrared rays hit the wild herbs. This causes the protein-containing plant cells to burst. The plants wither within 2 to 3 days. By regularly tilling the area and destroying the seeds, you can significantly push back the weeds and sustainably reduce 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.
