HIPPOTRON® SNOWData for more efficient snowmaking.
Benefits of HIPPOTRON® SNOW
Estimated up to +30% more snow from a given volume of water
thanks to higher process efficiency under the given atmospheric conditions
Lower energy consumption
for both pumps and snow guns
Less uncrystallised water
less water reaches the ground in liquid form
Longer snow life
drier snow, greater resistance to the weather and slower melting
How does HIPPOTRON® SNOW work?
The technology acts on the water before it is distributed to the snowmaking section.
1. Water
Water for technical snowmaking from the resort's snowmaking system.
2. HIPPOTRON® SNOW
The device acts on the water before it is distributed to the snow guns.
3. Snow gun
In the snow guns, the treated water turns into technical snow.
4. Ski slope
Technical snow for running the ski resort.
HIPPOTRON® SNOW is designed to act physically on water before it is distributed to a selected snowmaking section. Verification has to take place on comparable branches of the system or time blocks, with the wet-bulb temperature, pressure, flow, nozzle configuration, energy and the volume of snow produced all recorded. The line is intended for ski resorts and operators of central snowmaking systems who want to verify the relationship between the properties of the water, the wet-bulb temperature, the settings of the snow guns, energy consumption and the quality of machine-made snow.
Technical information
HIPPOTRON® SNOW is integrated into the high-pressure snowmaking system; the design is based on flow rate, pressure and temperature range.
Show technical information
The design takes into account the device model, flow, pressure, temperature range, materials, power supply, enclosure protection rating, the method of integration into the high-pressure system and safety compatibility. The measurement plan covers the wet-bulb temperature, pressure, flow, energy, gun settings and standardised measurement of the snow produced.
