Weed Wipers

  • The World's First Intelligent Weed Control System
  • Graphic showing the three key features of the weed Wiper. Dual contra rotating rollers, automatic weed detection and chemical application and atomisation technology.

Overview

Dual rollers offer the most cost effective solution to grassland weed control. Only weeds are targeted for massive savings on chemical and it’s eco-friendly.

Our Agricultural Weeder machinery for weed removal used in weed control for soil preparation or cultivation has significant savings over conventional systems.

Blaney have been pioneers in developing weed wiping technology which has become the most effective proven alternative to boom spraying, thanks to massive savings on chemical. By targeting only the weeds with herbicide, the grass and valuable clover are left untouched and grass growth rate is not affected. Weeds on grassland can be controlled effectively though weed wiping provided the weeds are taller than the grass.

Blaney have developed a range of revolutionary patented Weed Wipers to deal with the toughest of weeds, including the 2.4m wide Quad-X Dual roller Wipeout 2™ and  Xterminator 2™  which can all be towed behind an ATV, Utility Vehicle or Tractor.

The tractor mounted wipers, with contact widths from 2.4m -6.6m, offer a unique solution for weed control even across larger grassland areas.

Environmental Benefits

With no off spray, wildlife habitats and species rich protected areas are less affected and it makes weed control healthier for you too.

For smaller applications or if you can’t access your ground with your tractor why not try our ATV Weed Wipers towed models manufactured by Quad-X our ATV machinery division, available in 2.4m widths with flotation tyres as standard to tackle those wetter areas tractor can’t reach!

Models

Xterminator 2™

The Xterminator 2™ is a manual system where the user controls when and how much chemical needs to be applied to the rollers from the cab of the tractor. However it is equipped with DUAL contra-rotating rollers.

Wipeout 2™

The Wipeout offers massive savings on chemical over any conventional system and is ideal for environmentally sensitive areas where boom spraying is not appropriate. What makes the Wipeout 2™ superior to anything else is the automatic chemical application and the dual roller design. The automatic weed sensor system detects your weeds and only applies chemical to the rollers when weeds are present, meaning no guesswork and no wasted chemical.

Wipeout Elite 2™

The Wipeout Elite 2™ has all the features of the Wipeout 2™ but also comes with a unique chemical injection system; where the chemical is added to a separate tank from the water. This patent pending technology has been designed to mix the chemical with the water at the set rate to ensure accurate mixing and prevents chemical being wasted. All excess chemical can then be safely and easily dispensed from the separate chemical tank back into its original container, saving expensive chemical on change overs.

Chemical Application

Automatic weed detection & chemical application

Blaney Agri offer an innovative weed detection system, available on the Wipeout 2 and Wipeout Elite 2 models. The system ensures that all you have to do is fill your tank and drive, and you will have no more need to guess when, where and how much chemical to apply. It is all done for you.

The weed detection system automatically activates the system to apply the optimum amount of chemical to the rollers, only when weeds are present, leaving you free to concentrate on driving while saving chemical.

This unique chemical control system allows you to regulate chemical application rate for different weed densities to reduce costs, while maximising weed kill.

Unique Atomisation Technology

Through considerable development time and investment, Blaney Agri has discovered a process of unique atomisation technology, where chemical is applied in the form of micro-bubbles which attach themselves to the open fibre rollers without bursting.

Upon contact with the weeds, the micro bubbles burst and provide a better stem coverage than the standard chemical film approach.

Rollers

Blaney Agri weed wiper double rollerLong fibre synthetic rollers

Absorbent long fibre rollers ensure less drips and optimum chemical retention and application.

Synthetic fibre rollers offer maximum chemical resistance and do not rot.

Dual rollers *

Dual rollers rotate in opposite directions for optimum chemical application and quicker kill. Dual rollers help achieve up to 100% kill rates, without the need to wipe in the other direction, to save time and chemical.

The 1st contra-rotating roller lifts the weed and applies chemical to the sensitive underside, rather than the waxy surface for faster kill rates.

The 2nd roller acts to separate out clumps of weeds for better application. Chemical is applied to the primary roller, while the second roller absorbs any excess to minimise drips.

*(Xterminator 2™, Wipeout 2™ & Wipeout 2™ Elite models)

In-cab Controls & System Diagnostics

In-cab Controls & System Diagnostics

Fully electronic in-cab controls allow you to operate each section independently, all from the comfort of your tractor seat. Depending on the width of the weed wiper, the controls will control either 1, 2 or 3 wings.

System Diagnostics offer an easy troubleshooting aid, taking the fear factor out of the electronic system. (Wipeout 2 & Wipeout 2 Elite models).

UV Protected Tank

UV Protected Tank

Testimonials

“Running a flock of pedigree Texels, I was excited to hear about a machine that could treat the weeds and also protect the clover. I had always used a tractor sprayer, but each year it would kill off the valuable cover that had established. I have rushes and docks to treat as well as some nettles and thistles. The Blaney Wipeout 2 has given great weed kill results on all of these. This year has been particularly wet and windy and the fantastic thing about the Wipeout 2 is that I can treat the weeds even on windy days when I couldn’t have used a sprayer and boom. And if there is a shower of rain, since the chemical is applied to the underside of the weeds there is less chance of run off”Donald Rankin - Duntulm, Isle of Skye
“The only thing I wish it would do is to leave the shed and wipe the weeds itself. Apart from that, 6 years down the line I wouldn’t change a thing.”Alan Mackaral - Clones, Co.Monaghan
‘Whenever I went in the rushes disappeared!’Brendan Pendred - Mullingar, Westmeath
