Ecosol: Professional machinery for green spaces by Actisol

However, they are not the only users. Hitched to a micro tractor and usable in any location with stabilised surfaces to be restructured, damaged by overuse or bad weather, landscape architects and the caretakers of stately home parks and gardens also use it.

Indeed, the French eco-plant protection plan, which aims to reduce the use of chemical pesticides and weedkillers, initially forced towns to rethink their way of working. Since manual weeding is tedious and expensive in terms of labour costs, mechanical weeding was the most cost-effective solution possible.

The Ecosol mechanical weeder is very versatile and considerably reduces the tediousness of the task. It can halve the time spent on weeding maintaining healthy surfaces in line with all Actisol machinery.

For meticulous mechanical weeding from the first millimetres, this easy-to-use machinery for green spaces does not require great traction power because it does not require PTO. Fossil fuel consumption is therefore lower..

Behind the teeth, a double-row spring comb harrow rakes the soil surface, extirpating the rest of the cut vegetation. These combs, which work vertically, also aerate the surface and facilitate the penetration of rainwater.

In order to work as close as possible to the edges, an adjustable concave disc positioned laterally on the frame allows you to redraw the paths very precisely. A solid control roller, which stabilises the Ecosol, is located behind the combs. An oblong adjustment system gives it flexibility and allows it to follow the ground contour. It is fitted with a scraper bar which cleans it in wet conditions.

Finally, a spiral levelling and finishing mat evens out the work of the teeth and combs, leaving a smooth and airy surface. Each of the Ecosol’s components can be adjusted independently to the others. A hydraulic offset option is also available (left, right, or mixed).

In addition to mechanical weeding, Ecosol cracks and rakes sandy or stabilised surfaces, which makes it the Swiss army knife of small towns and landscapers.
