Low Energy Snow Gun with Electric Air Compressor

 




Carriage Mounted Sky Giant III Snow Guns,
Bristol Mountain, New York
Increase your snowmaking system
production with the new Carriage Mounted
Sky Giant III Snow Gun.

The newest addition to our snow gun family
comes complete with an onboard air
compressor, eliminating the need for costly
fan guns. The Sky Giant III low energy gun
uses the latest proven nucleation technology,
setting a new standard for all low energy guns.
It also reduces energy costs because it
uses no compressed air at ambient temperatures of 10°F (-12°C) or colder


Carriage Mounted Sky Giant III Benefits
  • Lightweight and extremely portable—
        designed for snowmobile towing.
  • Noise levels are typically lower than fan
        guns.
  • Operate at warmer temperatures than
        any other low energy gun on the market.
  • Uses less compressed air with better
        air/water ratios (48 CFM).
  • Cross-wind tolerance is dramatically
        improved—directional throw is stronger
        and farther than all other models on the
        market.
  • New nucleation design is less sensitive
        to dirty water and compressed air.
  • Compatible with automatic and line
        flooded systems.
  • Available with fixed or flanged head.
  • Also available with Teflon-coated head.
