Calor LPG Weed Burners

LPG Weedburners are available in a range of sizes, designed to suit different needs - but each working on the same basic principle of using powerful heat to kill off unwanted weeds.

Below are details of some tractor-drawn weed burners from Richard Western Ltd. More information on hand-held burners can be found on the Weed burning with Calor LPG page.

For farmers and growers with large businesses and high acreage, the 6m Greenburner offers the perfect opportunity to kill more weeds in less time.

The 6m Greenburner uses a new vaporisation system under its canopy to allow highly efficient use of Calor LPG. Combined with the increased width, this makes for a higher work-rate - and reduced costs as a consequence.

It also features a 1500 litre mobile tank, eliminating the need for a static tank, and is suitable for all models of tractor. Suitable for 3 beds, 6 rows or broad acre applications, the 6m Greenburner can be lowered or raised to suit different bed applications - proving versatile despite its size and weight.

A smaller weed burner but still robust and reliable, the 1.8m Greenburner is capable of weed control as well as desiccation and debris destruction.

Modified a number of times since its launch to meet the needs of the modern farmer, it now holds 1200 litres of Calor LPG - allowing up to 20 hours work between refills.

A combination of direct flame and infra-red heat work to destroy any weeds that are passed over, while the effect of any wind is minimised by a special air knife mounted on the rear of the machine.

The 1.6m Compact burner can handle the same crops and weeds as the 1.8m model, but weighs in at just 700kg (half the weight of its counterpart).

It is powered by 4 x 47kg Calor LPG cylinders as opposed to a bulk tank - and can be equipped with a second cylinder cartridge to avoid unnecessary down time.

The cylinders empty at an equal rate, helping the burner achieve a consistently high level of performance.
