THE GREENER SOLUTION IN FROST PROTECTION
ELECTRIC ORCHARD / FROST FANS: GREENER & MORE EFFICIENT
AGI Frost Fans’ electric orchard fans provide are an attractive and greener solution for frost protection. Our electric frost fans offer coverage of 7 to 9 hectares per fan and may be grid or generator powered, offering the lowest running costs for any frost fan.
MULTI FUNCTIONAL CONTROL SYSTEM
As agriculture comes under increasing pressure to decarbonise and minimise its environmental footprint, AGI Frost Fans is committed to leading the way in electric frost protection technology.
Using its extensive experience in the fruit and wine industry, AGI Frost Fans has designed and manufactured the most efficient electric frost-fighting fans on the market. While the initial cost of its fans is market competitive, longer-term benefits include the substantial reduction of running costs by up to 90%, when compared to fossil fuel powered alternatives.
Additionally, the fans may be deployed in both orchards and open farmlands, and may also be fitted to existing fan bases, enabling a smooth transition from fossil-fuel powered fans to more efficient electric fans.
BENEFITS OF ELECTRIC ORCHARD FANS
AGI’s orchard fans feature a custom-designed, open impeller to ensure the efficient protection of frost-prone crops, across a variety of micro-climates. When compared with traditional diesel-driven frost fan technology, they offer the following distinct benefits:
GREENER POWER OPTION
Power options include grid or generator powered.
GREATER COVERAGE PER FAN
A specialised blade design delivers leading-in-class coverage of up to 9ha (22ac) per fan.
LESS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
An optional hydraulic pivoting tower allows for easier installation and maintenance.
LESS NOISE & REDUCED RUNNING COSTS
The electric motor means fewer moving parts (no drive shaft or gearbox), less noise and reduced running costs.
REAL-TIME MONITORING VIA APP
Real-time monitoring and control via the AGI LIVE app for Android & iPhone puts you in control of your equipment.
OTHER ATTRACTIVE FEATURES INCLUDE:
- Lightweight blade design with composite 3-blade fan.
- Coverage up to 9ha (22ac) per fan.
- Blades designed for uniform wind velocity for maximum orchard penetration.
- Adjustable incremental rotation allows for increased coverage area.
- Blade-lock feature to reduce wear when idle.
- Grid or generator powered.
- Lower noise levels.
- Lower running costs.
AGI Frost Fans’ orchard fans / wind machines are manufactured to ISO 9001 global quality management standards.
GET A FREE FROST RISK ASSESSMENT
Rather than deploy frost protection fans in a grid, AGI Frost Fans offers a free frost risk assessment to identify high and low risk areas, to determine the best location for each fan.
AGI Frost Fans’ risk assessments draw on various data streams including historical weather data, biomass data, contours and topography, katabatic drift flow obstruction analysis and, of course, its own expertise and experience.
