Ecobotix - Bug Applicator

The device ensures that the distribution of the macrobials is performed in an
optimum way:

• Gentle (avoiding damage to the macrobials)
• Precise (allowing for highly accurate precision application
• Efficient (enabling for an even and completely automated delivery)
• Versatile (proving ability to use many types of formulations)
• Flexible (lightweight easily movable device)

• Continuous output rate in the range from 0.1…0.2…35 g/s
• Time to empty unit between 10 sec up to 1 hour.
• Precision of output rate down to 0.1 g/s
• Working width of 3.2m per unit.
• An external sensor on each unit ensures material is only dispersed where crops are present
• Work with up to 8 units in grouped parallel operation
• Select between individual programs for various type of macrobial formulations
• Self-adjusting flow control ensures correct dosing rates
• Works well with formulations based on vermiculite, buckwheat husks or corn cob grits
• Tolerant for formulations containing sawdust, bran, peat, wood chips, rice husks
• Tolerant for moist formulations
• Built-in cleansing function prevents any clogging of material
• Detachable blower head for easy maintenance or replacement
• Dynamic adjustment of gap opening ensures compatibility with a large span of particle sizes
• Vibration feeding ensures consistent flow even for formulations with relatively low flowability
• Gentle stirring of material prevents formation of bridges
• Battery monitoring with low-battery detection and alert via app
• Wifi-enabled control via EcoApp (Android, iOS*)
• Location based precision control of dosing by GPS/GNSS signal**
• Online log-generation and automatic documentation of performed treatments via desktop/app**

• Ensure an accurate treatment of all plants – prevent pest hotspots
• Ensure a gentle distribution of the macrobials (avoid injuring or killing of beneficials)
• Easy moveable solution – cover large areas even with single or few units (cost reduction on hardware)
• Ensure a good working environment – avoid repetitive and strenuous work and limit exposure to allergens
• Ability to distribute wide range of macrobials – compatible with multiple formulations
• Achieve higher level of biological protection – avoid need for spraying of insecticides (up to 100%)
• Achieve more with less macrobials (potential material saving of more than 60%)
• Spend less time on treatments (potential time saving up to 80%)
