The lance for extreme applications

TL2: Best snow quality even at marginal temperatures

The TL2 automatic snow lance guarantees optimum snow quality thanks to the addition of a third nozzle on each of the two rings. This lance model from the new TL series is used specifically on relatively low slope sections in the limit temperature range. The nozzle rings are opened and closed by the Smart Distributor, which works like a valve block, Using two potential nozzle configurations and two control settings, it is simply constructed and efficient to use. The TL lance heads are mounted on the new lightweight universal pipe developed by TechnoAlpin.

Revolutionary lance head

The new lance head is especially energy and resource efficient thanks to three nucleators with ruby inserts, two rings, each with three ceramic nozzles, and two control settings.

Remarkable snow quality

Specially designed for the limit temperature range, the TL2 has nucleators with ruby inserts. They guarantee optimum and constant snow quality over the entire temperature range and even at low operating pressure.

Straightforward assembly

Assembly is fast and straightforward thanks to the compact lance design. The TL2 has a robust, mechanical construction and stable plug-in connectors.

Components of the highest quality

The compact TL2 is comes standard with the same components as the larger lances in the group. This includes nozzles with ceramic inserts, an oil-free compressor (for the model without central air), the weldless filter and nucleators with ruby inserts, amongst others. These nucleators guarantee an optimal air-water mixture and consistently optimal snow quality, regardless of the prevailing operating pressures.

Technical components

Lance head

The shape of the head makes the TL lances less susceptible to wind and frost and allows snowmaking on narrow and wide slopes while keeping noise emissions low. This is a huge advantage on slopes near residential areas. The ceramic inserts of the wear-resistant nozzles also guarantee consistently high snow quality season after season. The standard version of the lance is also joined by a model for warm climates so as to cater for varying local weather conditions.

Lance construction

The robust mechanical structure is made of hot-dip galvanized steel to guarantee added stability and has plug-in connections for easy installation. The height of the lance is adjusted by means of the hydraulic lifting cylinder. The electric switchboard is compact and easy to access.

Water filter

The water filter with seamless WEDGE WIRE filter insert made of nickel chromium steel guarantees fault-free operation, simple cleaning and long service life.

Plug-in base

The simple and sturdy plug-in connection of the mechanical structure makes it quick and efficient to fit on initial installation and just as easy to dismantle. The plug-in base has a double hole pattern and a flat base, and is therefore suitable for various pit and concrete foundations.

Valve technology

The automatic YB valve of pressure class PN100 regulates the snow lance water pressure, water throughput and airflow. The opening and closing cycle includes water and air discharge. The valve has a patented closing mechanism which guarantees automatic closure in the event of a power failure.

Versions

With centralized air

The central air model is mainly used on relatively low slope sections with air and water supply as well as a data cable.

With local compressor

The local compressor model is used on relatively low slope sections with water and electricity supply as well as a data cable. This model has an oil-free piston compressor with an output of 4.0 kW.
