In the realm of frost protection, FrostBoss has long been recognised as a leading provider of innovative solutions to growers worldwide. 

From their base in Hastings, New Zealand, FrostBoss specialises in frost fan design and manufacture, as well as installation and servicing. 

Represented in 14 countries across the globe, their dedication to research and development has led to groundbreaking advancements in frost protection technology, with their latest offering poised to set new standards in the industry. 

The recently released Lay-down Frost Fan by FrostBoss is an innovative solution combining reliability and performance of standard fixed tower fans with the added benefit of a lay-down design. 

This innovation is born out of a commitment to providing versatile solutions addressing the evolving needs of growers around the world. 

One of the primary motivations behind the development of the Lay-down Frost Fan was the growing demand for frost protection solutions that preserve visual amenity and scenic beauty. 

With regulations becoming increasingly stringent, especially in UNESCO heritage areas like Saint-Émilion, France, where towers must be lowered outside the frost season, FrostBoss recognised the need for a more elegant solution. 

But the benefits of the Lay-down Frost Fan extend beyond aesthetics. 

The FrostBoss C49 (4-blade) frost fan has emerged as a game-changer in the industry, offering unparalleled performance and reliability. 

Its compatibility with pivot irrigation systems has already been recognised in New Zealand, making it an ideal choice for growers looking to maximise efficiency without compromising on performance. 

Moreover, the Lay-down Frost Fan maintains the same level of noise, fuel consumption, and coverage as standard models, ensuring that growers can rely on its effectiveness year after year. 

FrostBoss is set apart by their relentless pursuit of excellence in blade design. 

With input from aerodynamics research engineer Richard Karn, FrostBoss has developed proprietary composite blades that optimise noise reduction while maximising coverage. 

The FrostBoss C49 (4-blade) frost fan, equipped with these cutting-edge blades, has emerged as a game-changer in the industry, offering unparalleled performance and reliability. 

Growers worldwide are now opting to upgrade their existing competitor fans with FrostBoss blades, recognising the superior quality and benefits they offer, heralding a new era in frost protection with the introduction of their sophisticated FrostSmart monitoring system. 

Designed for convenience and efficiency, FrostSmart offers real-time monitoring of frost fans from any location, empowering growers with invaluable insights into their operations. With text alarms, historical data, and temperature graphs readily accessible, FrostSmart enables growers to make informed decisions and respond swiftly to changing conditions.
