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:

  • 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)
Ecobotix' bug applicator
  • 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)
