Air water gun V3

Lightweight construction.

Power is produced in the head

The patented lance head has been upgraded by reducing the dimensions and optimizing the proportions between the internal and external surface areas. This improves inside to outside heat transfer, guaranteeing an ice-free head even in extremely low temperatures and under adverse wind conditions. The combination of the new flush mounted aluminum nozzles with ceramic inserts and the improved spray pattern ensures now an impressive snow output of the V3 in all areas.

V3 Action

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.

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.

Oil-free aluminum compressor with built-in cooling circuit.

The compressor, low maintenanceand oil-free, and therefore particularly eco-friendly, is remarkable for its compact size and high performance.

Electric cabinet

The new, compact electric cabinet with a centralized cable-entry point avoids having to twist or shear the cables. It can also be mounted on a mechanical structure with 3 stayers, and on compressor lances.

Lightweight lance construction

The robust chassis made of galvanized steel guarantees high stability despite its compact dimensions. It is simple to mount on the widest variety of base elements. The hydraulic height adjustment, manual horizontal turning gear and compact electric cabinet are easy to access and operate.

Hydromat WO

This works as a pressure reducing valve, regulating water pressure and facilitating management of major pressure differences (particularly suitable for lances located near pump stations).

Overground valve block

Sensors and motor valves are securely contained under the cover for transport and on-site handling. The opening on the bottom ensures that the entire apparatus is well ventilated and prevents build up of condensation. Water and air connections can be easily and quickly connected using Camlock coupling without the risk of confusion (different connector sizes).

Hydraulic height adjustment

Height is adjusted using hydraulic height-adjustment cylinders and a  template with a safety locking pin for maximum operating safety.

Mechanical height adjustment

An alternative to the hydraulic version. Height is mechanically adjusted by a cylinder. After the lance has been positioned, the cylinder can be removed and used to adjust other lances.
