See our gallery and maps (coming soon) to see what and where our SW range are being used.

2. Is there an ideal time to treat weeds with Satusteam™?

Yes, the best time to treat weeds with Satusteam™ is soon after germination. This will give you the most bang for your buck and a thorough kill, however you can treat at any time of the life cycle but the speed of application will vary. Check out our video for a practical demonstration:

3. Why Satusteam™ and not just steam, propane torch, or hot water with foaming agents ?

Put simply, for hydro-thermal weeding to be commercial viable, temperatures need to be greater than 98° Celsius, (205°F) and must have rapid transfer into the plant cells. Propane flame and Non saturated steam is less efficient at transferring destructive heat into the vegetation and simple hot water will do the job but is much slower and uses a lot more energy. You can rely on our SW range to superheat the water and deliver superheated saturated steam at 98-103°C, 205-218°F to destroy your weeds quickly and effectively. No additives required, just simply water. 



5. What is the cost per acre?


6. How much does a Satusteam™ SW unit cost?

There are a number of products in our SW range. Prices start under $11000 CAD and rise dependant on operational output and the type and quantity of applicator heads required. There are numerious mounts available and fully customizable to the customers needs.

7. Are earth worms and other soil organisms affected?

Our saturated steam provides rapid penetration and transfer of heat to any vegetation which the applicator heads pass over.  It is non selective on any organisms.  A benefit of  our economical use of saturated steam and boiling water is that it does not penetrate more than about a ¼”, 5mm, into the soil.  This has great effect on the crowns of weed species but little effect and no lasting impact on either the roots of your perrennial crops, trees, vines etc or your important soil organisms. Earth worms tend to be found lower down in the soil profile, unless there are very wet surface conditions.  Our observation is that the destroyed weeds quickly become detritus providing food for a rapid repopulation of soil organisms which helps builds a humus layer in your soil.
