It's what our customers say about FrostBoss® that matters.

“The investment in FrostBoss® Frost Fans was seen as excellent value compared to the estimated $24 million lost to frost in the previous year”, explains Rob. With a total of 176 frost fan machines, the orchard growers are given peace of mind knowing that frost mitigation is in place across the groves."

“We’ve now got nine FrostBoss® C49 fans at Mowbray with more going in this year to protect the orchard as it comes into production. Out at Mowbray, the fans did their job running for over 100 hours last winter to prevent frost injury on the citrus. The previous season, when it was colder, some machines clocked up 270 hours.”

"With frost fans making it viable to grow lemons, it’s been good for us. Lemons provide cashflow through the winter months and the combination of lemons, pears and stonefruit means we’re picking most of the year providing consistent work for our pickers and packers.”

"In addition to the peace of mind the fans provide, they improve the quality of the fruit. We see less scarring on the plums, and having fruit downgraded can halve the price you get so it’s a big impact. Water sprinkling isn’t an option because it would use too much water.”

“It’s a fine line between too cold and OK. A light frost can cause the skin to crack which later manifests itself as a scar. Cherries are a pretty risky crop. Without frost protection on some of our blocks, the risk would be too high. I would say 90 percent of the time, fans will save your crop.”

“We put in 2 frost fans in April 2018 in blocks of 18 months old Lemons and Navels. In the winter of 2017, we had many severe frosts in our area with temperatures dropping to minus 5.5ºC and had severe frost damage on our trees with some having to be replaced because of the frost damage. So, we decided to install 2 frost fans in these blocks. In the winter of 2018, there was hardly any damage in the same blocks where the frost fans have been installed and we had temperatures of minus 6.3ºC so they do work. This year we are installing 5 more frost fans.”
