Since 1974, Mantis ULV-Sprühgeräte GmbH has been a pioneer in environmentally friendly spraying. From its first nozzle design to today’s cutting-edge ULV- Spraying, Mantis has consistently set benchmarks in efficiency, innovation, and sustainability.
The company will present advancements in weed control, including robot and drone-mounted MANKAR-ULV sprayers for precise, low-volume spraying.
Mantis also sets standards in sustainability: BioMant devices offer chemical-free weed control using hot water. New innovations include BioMant-Flex machines with durable lithium-ion batteries and operation with HVO100 fuel, which reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 90 per cent.
With a focus on innovation and eco-friendly technologies, Mantis continues to lead the way, delivering efficient, sustainable spraying solutions for a greener future.
MANKAR® ULV - for efficient and cost-effective weed control using bio-herbicides or herbicide mixtures, whether in conventional horticulture or organic farming, landscaping, the municipal sector or pest control.
The advantages of ULV (Ultra Low Volume) spraying over traditional methods are substantial, offering enhanced efficiency, precision, and reduced environmental impact, especially through significantly lower liquid volumes. ULV-spraying makes for a conscious choice in modern spraying applications and MANKAR systems are ideal to work in combination with agricultural robots, drones and UAVs in general.
This year marks a remarkable milestone for Mantis ULV Sprühgeräte GmbH as the company celebrates its 50th anniversary. Over the past five decades, Mantis has been at the forefront of developing and manufacturing ultra-low-volume (ULV) spray solutions for crop protection. What began as a niche venture has grown into a revolutionary force, transforming not only agricultural spraying but also weed control and various industrial processes.
At the heart of Mantis’s success lies its advanced spray nozzle technology, tailored for diverse applications. This technology has continually evolved to meet the demands of an ever-changing market, including regulatory shifts such as bans on certain chemicals and the rise of biological substances and microorganisms.
Beyond its original applications, ULV technology is finding new and exciting uses. "We are currently experiencing significant growth in inquiries from industries such as coatings and food processing," notes owner and managing director Hiske Weissmann. "Additionally, MANKAR spray systems are highly compatible with autonomous vehicles and UAVs (drones), driving increased demand from agricultural producers, particularly growers."
A Commitment to Sustainability
Mantis remains deeply committed to sustainability; a value ingrained in its operations. While ULV technology is inherently environmentally friendly due to its precise application and reduced chemical use, the company goes further by offering non-chemical alternatives, including hot water treatments and biological agents for weed control and crop protection with microorganisms.
As Mantis celebrates 50 years of success, it reaffirms its dedication to shaping a sustainable and innovative future for agricultural and industrial spraying solutions.
