Ecobotix' Bug Applicator

Ecobotix’ bug applicator is a device for dispensing and distributing living organisms, such as different life-stages of beneficial insects and mites.

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

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**

*Available for iOS only on request.
**Optional on request

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%)

Container volume: 2,7L
Total weight (mount and battery included): 6 kg
Battery specs: LiPo, 3S, 11,1V, 22Ah
Estimated battery time: 7,5 hours (full charge in 1½ hours)
Connectivity: WiFi
Materials: polylactic acid (PLA), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
