Frost protection in orchards

Orchard-Rite two & 3-blade frost fans

Orchard-Rite, the industry leader in crop frost protection offers two and three-blade model frost fans.

The three-blade is the second most efficient fan that Orchard-Rite manufactures, just behind the two-blade which has the highest level of momentum, thrust and airflow.
The Orchard-Rite three-blade fan was developed to reduce noise which has been independently tested, peer reviewed and meets council requirements at 49 dB at 300 metres and 55 dB at 150 metres.
It offers the lowest fuel consumption, and the highest volume of airflow, thrust and wind momentum on fans with three or more blades.
“Orchard-Rite frost fans have definitely been a good investment,” said Enzo Mazzarella, Mazzarella Farms, NSW Australia.
“They have increased our fruit production, quality and ensured we have no crop loss from frost events each year.”
In Australia, the first fans were installed in 1994. Now there are over 37,000 frost fans sold worldwide.
