“I have been using the product for a year and I hope it continues to work. I had heard that the wind machine propellers make loud noises, which causes problems. On the other hand, the FrostBoss® propellers have very low noise levels and therefore I have no problems with the neighbours.”

“I want to emphasize that the noise from the machines is lower and they have helped us in frost control. The Frost Fan alone raises the temperature by 2.5°C, therefore, to reach a higher temperature, we install heaters next to the tower, which between the two raise the heat 4.5°C.”

“These products (the fans) have helped me tremendously because they work automatically by keeping control of the temperature which saves us time. The Frost Fan does the work itself, the only thing that we have to worry about is the fuel tank.”

“A big risk for us is the weather wiping out a crop at a critical time. The three enemies of blueberries are frost, wind and the roots being too wet. Our General Manager at Otautau is alerted to the fans working by a text alarm, triggered by the fans’ remote monitoring system. In addition, the remote monitoring option provides historical data and graphs on temperature, run-hours and machine performance."

“They’ve been outstanding with the area they cover, ease of access to the motor and large 490 litre capacity fuel tanks. We also had New Zealand Frost Fans upgrade the old alloy blades on our current machines with the FrostBoss® C39 composite blades (3 blade system) and these have proven to be quieter and more efficient.”

Wairau River Wines grow a variety of grapes and export 80 percent of their wines. Prior to having frost fans, they were hit by frost, and one year only got 180 tonnes off a block that usually delivers 2000 tonnes of grapes. “The two frost fan machines on our colder Wairau block save the crop every year”, says Hamish Rose.
