« After several months of reflection, research and demonstrations, we have chosen to Oéliatec, especiqlly the Belle-île model, for its versatility and ease of use. This type of weeding with hot water, uses less fuel for the boiler also allows the use of rainwater which is an added bonus for communities who wish to invest in environmental protection and natural resources. The design of the streamlined trailer is also counted in this choice because it is part of the image of the community.»

« Recently we equipped BREHAT model from Oeliatec. This technology has allowed us to use half time of the initial passage with a very interesting and immediate result. After 4 years of experience Zero Pesticide, we find that the hot water is really an interesting alternative; it reduces the number of annual passage.

Oéliatec have really met our expectations. »
