Tig’air weed puller
Developed by Bionalan after several years of research and prototypes, the Tig’air is an agricultural machine designed to mechanically pull weeds in low-growing crops.
Thanks to a blade roller and pulling rollers system, the stems are pinched and then pulled outward in order to extract the plant with its root and limit regrowth.

And other weeds growing above the crop.
Working speed
Recommended depending on weed growth stage and field conditions.
Pinching + extraction
Blade roller and lower rollers creating a pinching and pulling effect.
An efficient mechanical pulling principle
The Tig’air is based on a system composed of a large blade roller that pushes the weeds toward two coated lower rollers.
The stems are then pinched between these rollers, creating a pulling effect that extracts the plant together with its root.
Operate when weeds grow above the crop
The system is particularly effective when weeds grow about 10 centimeters above the crop. This allows the plant to be pulled out without disturbing the crop in place.
Simple adjustment depending on weed growth stage
The Tig’air easily adapts to weed development by adjusting the blade roller speed and the forward working speed.
Early intervention
A slower blade roller rotation allows early-season intervention on the first weed emergence, with a gradual and better-controlled action.
Developed weeds
When weeds grow taller and stronger, the rotation speed can be increased to improve pulling efficiency.
Wide intervention window
Thanks to its large diameter, the Tig’air can operate on weeds that are already tall and well developed.

Target weeds and crops
The Tig’air was designed to mechanically pull weeds that grow above the crop. Its pinching system extracts the plant together with its root to limit regrowth and seed production.
The machine is particularly effective when weeds grow about 10 cm above the crop. In these conditions, the blade roller pushes the stems toward the pulling rollers, which extract the plant.
Target weeds
- Chenopodium
- Amaranth
- Thistles
- Other weeds growing above the crop
Target crops
- Sugar beet
- Soybean
- Low-growing vegetable crops
- Row crops sensitive to weed pressure
The Tig’air can also be used in certain specific situations, particularly to intervene on flower bulb stems.
