V3: the new TechnoAlpin lance

At the Alpitec and at the SAM, the two main spring fairs, TechnoAlpin will present a range of new features, including the new V3 lance. The patented lance head has been fully optimized according to the motto 'Performance is all in the head'. And the V3 is certainly not short on innovation: a great many of its parts have been further developed, perfecting compatibility.

Here you can find a summary of the main new features:

1. New lance head with nucleators & nozzles.
The enhanced flush mounted propelling nozzles made of anodized aluminum with ceramic inserts guarantee optimum heat transfer between the lance head and nozzle shafts. The larger opening angle between the 3 nucleators and the new arrangement of the controllable nozzles effectively increases snow output. A special heat transfer system ensures that the lance head remains free of ice even in extremely cold temperatures and under adverse wind conditions.

2. Valve technology with water filter.
The easily accessible overground valve block made of high-quality die-cast aluminum has been recently developed. Perfected valve technology, the built-in water filter made of high-quality nickel chromium steel, the discharge valves and the reliable sensors guarantee fail-safe operation and a long service life.

3. Hydraulic height adjustment.

The hydraulic height adjustment cylinder which combines a pump and tank in one unit means that the lance can be adjusted easily with very little effort. The inbuilt throttle valve prevents the lance from jerking and, in conjunction with the template, guarantees maximum operating safety.
