Steam weeder MSDZ-1

self-propelled

One of Europe’s largest producers of salad leaves ordered a new edition of the steam robot series from MSD as a replacement for the “Dämpfmobil” (Steam Mobile) from 2010. The requirements were higher. Impact was to be increased by at least 30%. In addition, the stricter requirements for a fully automatic field robot as imposed by the authorities had to be fulfilled. Thus the fully automatic steam machine MSDZ-1 came about, designed and constructed together with the Josef Zeyer Agrartechnik company from Neresheim. The fully automatic steam robot lowers, lifts and moves the steam hoods independently and does not require operation by a driver. The machine’s steam performance has been increased by just under 40% and it can therefore steam-treat larger surfaces significantly quicker than the previous model from 2010.
