Frost protection in orchards

Frost fans combat cold injury

Australian Frost Fans is the sister business to New Zealand Frost Fans, which manufactures the FrostBoss range of frost fans.

The FrostBoss C49 (4-blade machine) is the best-selling machine in Australia and NZ. It was developed with help from former Team New Zealand aerodynamics research engineer, Richard Karn, to optimize noise reduction by using a greater blade working area and slower rotational speed than a 2-blade fan.
In addition, the much higher blade passage frequency of the 4-blade fan means the noise signature no longer has a low frequency beating sound, similar to an Iroquois helicopter.
Along with the FrostBoss C49, the FrostBoss C59 (5-blade machine) is the quietest machine on the market.
Over 400 FrostBoss wind machines are sold annually throughout NZ, Australia, Turkey, Portugal and Canada covering a variety of crops. Together, the two businesses regularly service more than 2000 machines in NZ and Australia.
Remote monitoring
The remote monitoring option enables growers to access real-time monitoring of fans around the world, together with text alarms and historical data and graphs on temperature, run-hours and machine performance.
As well as supply and installation of FrostBoss frost fans, Australian Frost Fans service and upgrade most makes of frost fan.
