How does it work? —> Phase Transition ! Don’t look for a cheaper protection per hectare because you will find none. Even more, the Frostbuster has several advantages compared to other frost protection systems: you can protect your crops in places where no water is available, or protect fruit which cannot be protected with water. It can be used not only during radiation frost but also during wind frost, and a lot of farmers use the Frostbuster to improve their crop’s fruit set. The Frostbuster is a trailed machine. The powerful fan is driven by the PTO of the tractor. A gas burner heats the air up to 80-85 ° Celsius. The heated air is blown between the trees through 2 outlets (1 at the left and 1 at the right). The total surface that can be protected depends on the shape and the dimensions of the plot and is maximum 8 to 10 hectares. Instead of warming up the atmosphere, the Frostbuster uses phase transition to protect your orchards and vineyards. In a few words: by controlling the ice forming and by recuperating the energy that is liberated when vapor changes into ice, it provides an excellent protection with a minimum input of energy.

It works also on some flowers like chrysanthemums.

The 3-point models: F252 - F252H - F152 In many countries, farmers do not have tractors of 65 hp or more. To help these farmers, we decided to develop a few 3-point mounted machines, that require less horsepower. These machines have a 2-speed gear box. On the lower speed, less horsepower is needed. Of course, the protected area will be smaller. We can also install a special impeller in the fan to reduce the needed power to 25 hp. To have most weight as close to the tractor as possible, the fan is mounted vertically and two gas bottles are put in front of the fan. The F252 can be delivered...
