The latest generation of MANKAR atomisers, the R model, allows economical application of biological herbicides as well as herbicide mixtures that require a larger application rate.
Until now, MANKAR ULV Sprayers of Mantis GmbH have been known for the economic spraying of undiluted herbicides ensuring optimal coverage and as in more and more application areas, the use of traditional herbicides are being restricted, the ULV-technology had to be further developed. Mantis, with almost 50 years of experience in environmentally friendly spraying technology, has now modernised the MANKAR atomiser in such a way that biological agents and mixtures that require a much higher application rate as traditional herbicides can also be sprayed successfully, whilst maintaining much of the advantages of the patented technology.
To limit drift, the new "R" atomiser is equipped with a round spray shield with a diameter of 35 centimetre and is available together with the MANKAR Carry and Drive units.
Hiske Weissmann, Managing Director of Mantis ULV sprayers explains: "Although ULV technology is still used very successfully in different domains, our customers needed a device that could spray more volume. More and more people want to spray alternative products to glyphosate. However, these agents are usually less efficient and require more litres per hectare to achieve a satisfactory result. The existing MANKAR segment rotary atomiser could not always cope with this increased volume. With the new R-atomiser, we have brought MANKAR to "5.0" level, so to speak, and can now offer our customers solutions for a much wider range of products, including organic herbicides."

MANKAR® spraying systems are professional systems for effective, environmentally responsible and yet economical weed control with herbicides or herbicide mixtures without water.
They are based on ULV (ultra low volume) technology for optimum distribution of an extremely small amount of active product with an even droplet size.
This means that the amount of herbicide required can be considerably reduced.
The new generation of MANKAR atomisers allows economical application of herbicides, biological herbicides and herbicide mixtures that need to be applied with a larger application rate. To limit drift, the new atomisers is equipped with a round spray shield with a diameter of 35 cm and is available together with the MANKAR Carry and Drive models.
BioMant is the most effective weed control method anywhere where the use of herbicides is not allowed or is not desired. Paths, parking lots and other non-cultivated land around buildings and glas houses are examples in horticulture.
BioMant units destroy weeds with water heated to 99.5°C. The cell structure of the plant is destroyed by the high water temperature and the upper part dies. When treated multiple times, the plant grows so weak that it dies. Various BioMant models are available.
Mantis ULV-Sprühgeräte GmbH started in 1975 with the development, production and sales of specialised ULV spraying systems (ULV = ultra low volume) for a variety of applications.
Over the years, Mantis has been able to build its expertise and now offers a full and wide range of optimally designed spraying systems for many professional applications. For weed control, MANKAR® ULV spraying systems are used to apply undiluted liquid herbicides, whereas BioMant sprayers have been designed for weed control without the use of chemicals. MAFEX®-Potato/Fruit fine spraying units are optimised for crop protection, e.g. for potatoes and citrus fruits and MAFEX®-Silage spraying systems are used directly on the chopper for an even distribution of silage additives. With ROFA, insects and air-borne germs can be tackled. Finally, Mantis offers various specialised MANTIS ULV spraying systems for industrial applications, e.g. the application of release agents in the concrete or food industry.
Through our global sales network, which comprises of independent sales partners, our sprayers are available in most countries in the world. Our partners can help our customers choose the sprayer that is best suited to their needs and also ensure quality service and spare parts.
At Mantis, we continuously strive to make the best quality sprayers that suit the needs and continuously evolving demands of our clients.
