Ground Breaking Electric Drive
The W240 trailed Weed Wiper features a unique electric drive motor, operating at 25rpm. This ground-breaking feature ensures the roller runs at a constant speed regardless of the forward speed, which all but eliminates dripping whilst ensuring weeds get a good dose of herbicide (eg. Glyphosate).
The constant roller speed also allows more liquid to be held in reserve on the roller, without dripping occurring and damaging the crop below.
Advanced Tampico Brush
The all-new W240 Brush Model features a natural, hard wearing Tampico fibre brush mounted in segments. The Tampico brush provides the ultimate precision in chemical application, allowing weeds to pass through the brush bristles for a higher contact area and greater results.
Specially designed to ‘hold’ chemical within its fibres and the addition of the unique electric drive system of the W240, all but eliminates dripping whilst keeping brush saturation levels high to deliver a high concentrate of chemical in one pass.
The Tampico brush is designed to last the lifetime of the machine, but segments are easily replaceable should any of the brush segments get damaged helping to keep costs to a minimum.
Options
Brush Roller
Upgraded Brush Roller made from Natural Tampico fibres for the ultimate precise application. Designed to allow plants/weeds to pass through the brushes to deliver more chemical. The natural fibres absorb the chemical effectively to help prevent dripping.
Carpet Option
