1.1. Construction and mode of operation:
The SUFAG
®
Snowmaker sprays a fine mixture of water and air via a nozzle ring
into the jet of a low pressure fan. Under adequate weather conditions, this water-
air-mixture crystallizes into tiny snow crystals until it reaches the ground.
Because of the sensitive regulation of the water flow and an optimized geometry of
the nozzle ring, the machine works from the absolute marginal/limiting temperature
range to the low temperature range with high efficiency and outstanding snow
quality.
The compressed-air compressor is found under the hinged or detachable cover
The water supply enters through a swivel joint under the water distributor. Via the
water filter and the switch-over valves the water enters into the nozzle ring. The
machine drains by itself after the switch-off. You find the electric box lateral to the
piling.
The parts sensitive to frost are protected against formation of ice by electric
heating.
The fan can be swivelled up as well as horizontally.
