	AutoSno for Individual Low Energy Guns - Compatible with all Brands of Low Energy Snow Guns
		The AutoSno System for Individual Low Energy Snow Guns allows you to automate individual low energy snow guns on a stand-alone basis. The system can automate a single snow gun or even hundreds of selected snow guns in a snowmaking system. Compatible with all brands of fixed flow low energy snow guns. The automated snow guns can be located on any pipelines within the snowmaking system, including main water pipelines (that feed other lines) and branch pipelines.
		How does AutoSno for Individual Low Energy Guns work? Individual fixed flow low energy tower guns are automated using air and water hydrant actuators, a base station controller and snow gun controllers. Start by selecting up to 30 snow guns per base station controller. The controller will keep the snow guns on and the hydrants open during snowmaking operations. On startup, the hydrants open so that air and water flow to the snow gun and the snow gun starts making snow. On shutdown, the controller stops snowmaking operations and executes an automatic drain cycle to expel water from the snowgun, water hose, and hydrant to prevent freezing. AutoSno system requires a compatible weather station that is also offered by Ratnik.
	Benefits of AutoSno for Individual Low Energy Guns Automatically operate up to hundreds of fixed flow tower guns at once by computer or PLC. Start and stop low energy snow guns from your office or snowmaking pump and compressor building. Can be installed on all snowmaking system pipelines, including main water pipelines (that feed other lines) and branch pipelines. Program individual snow guns to startup at a preset time or temperature for a specified duration. Program individual snow guns to shutdown automatically if temperature gets too warm. Each snow gun controller features an emergency stop button so that the snow gun can also be shutdown at the snowgun location. Designed for use with manual snowmaking hydrants. Mounts on your manual snowmaking water hydrant with an add-on attachment. All mechanical and electrical components are pre-assembled and pre-wired to minimize on-site labor. Touch screen user interface on controller is easy to use and offers several options for startup and shutdown cycles. Each system is custom engineered to work with a customer's existing pipeline, water and air pressure, and snow gun configuration.
