SiS® Description

Product catalog summary
Introduction to SIS® Technology
SIS® technology centers around the Selective Inverted Sink (SIS®), a mechanical system designed to mitigate frost damage in crops by selectively draining colder air, which is detrimental to crops, and releasing it at a higher altitude to mix with warmer air. This process prevents cold air accumulation during frosty nights.

Technical Specifications and Installation
The SIS® system requires a detailed technical and feasibility study to determine the number, model, and precise location of the units. The system can be powered by diesel, electric engines, or a tractor's gimbal, with automation options available for diesel and electric models. The structure is made from SAE 1010 galvanized steel with a powder coating finish, ensuring durability and efficiency.

Applications and Global Reach
SIS® systems have been protecting vineyards, cherry farms, kiwifruit farms, blueberry farms, citrus plantations, olive trees, and apple orchards worldwide. Notable regions include Napa Valley, Sonoma, Paso Robles in the USA, Marlborough in New Zealand, Coonawarra in Australia, and various locations in Argentina, Uruguay, and South Africa.

Case Studies and Examples
Examples of SIS® applications include peach farms in Spain, vineyards in California, and cherry farms in Washington. The system has also been adapted for other uses, such as controlling fog in the Panama Canal and managing odors in water treatment plants.

Conclusion
The SIS® system is a versatile and effective solution for frost control in agriculture, offering scalability, automation, and environmental benefits. Its global adoption across various crops and regions underscores its effectiveness and adaptability.

SiS® Description-2

What is SIS® technology? SIS® technology has the Selective Inverted Sink (SIS®) as the central core of its operation. The SIS® is a mechanical equipment that, in the atmospheric conditions corresponding to radiation frost, selectively drains the air in colder, which is the one that does the most damage to crops. This drainage prevents the accumulation of cold air in the crop during all frosty nights. The SIS® drains the cold air and releases it at a height of 80/100 meters, mixing it with the hottest of the high areas, managing to neutralize and heat it. SIO® lb The number of SIS required, the...

In this photo you can see an SIS® powered by a Diesel engine. The engines can be diesel, electric or propelled by the gimbal of a tractor. In the case of diesel or electric, the operation can be automated, allowing to start when the temperature reaches the desired limits. It is very quiet, thanks to the unique design and propellers.

The SIS® is the result of the application of a comprehensive scientific work, starting with the study of risks and frost control. This study is carried out by The Climate Box®, a company specialized in: -Microclimate analysis. -Risk of frost. -The influence of climate change on frost and the accurate calculation of cold air flow. In particular, using a numerical model to calculate local and regional cold air flow. The SIS® must inevitably be accompanied by this preliminary study, which tells us the quantity and precise location of each SIS®. Watch video: SIS® is installed using GPS technology...

CITRUS The first installations of SIS® systems, in the early 90s, were carried out in large citrus plantations in Uruguay and Argentina. This makes us specialists in frost control for citrus fruits. These plantations of hundreds of hectares have demonstrated the ability of the SIS® system to adapt on a large scale, significantly reducing its unit cost. Today, citrus fruits are protected in the United States, South Africa, Argentina and in Uruguay.
