The “Schiumone” (Big Foam) is a patented solution for weed control wich won the New Techniques Award and the Blue Award at EIMA in Bologna.
It is an ecological thermal weed-killing machine for vineyards and tree crops in general, able to produce hot foam and distribute it a targeted way under the rows of the trees. When the temperature of the vegetable fiber exceeds 60° occurs the collapse of the proteins and within a few days the drying of the same. Since the foam has an insulating effect, the heating induced on the grass is maintained for the time of dissolution of the same foam.
This allows to proceed with acceptable speed in order to handle a great variety of vineyards surfaces.
The foam used is derived entirely from vegetables fibers produced by a farm under organic management and made under the specifications of Tecnovict.
