The reliable production of technical snow is becoming increasingly important for winter sports resorts. In order to guarantee snow, water from lakes, streams or reservoirs is pumped at high pressure to the ski slopes to make snow.
To ensure that the particles contained in the water do not damage the snow-making equipment, the water must first be filtered using the aquaBoll®.
The filtration process protects the snow lances and snow cannons. The filter fineness of the BOLLFILTER Automatic is up to 100 µm.
The pumping station is at the heart of every snowmaking system and must operate smoothly regardless of the external conditions. Ensuring the water supply is of crucial importance here. Up to 0.5 cubic meters of water are required to produce one cubic meter of artificial snow. The quality of the water poses a particular challenge. Especially if the water comes from dams or reservoirs. These are often contaminated with fir, spruce and larch needles, leaves and waste.
The global market leader for snow-making systems, relies exclusively on BOLLFILTER. In the pump station, our BOLLFILTER automatics are the first to ensure and, hence, as one of the most important snow-making components in the system, the uninterrupted operation of high-pressure pumps,UV sterilization systems, and snow guns.
The snow cannons, which are located on the ski slopes and are supplied with clean, filtered high-pressure water via a kilometer-long network of shafts, pipes and hydrant systems, are essential for snow production. Both fan-driven snow cannons and snow lances are used to produce the snow.
In addition, the BOLLFILTER protects the nozzles of the snow guns and the lance head of the snow lances from clogging. The nozzles and fan guns can quickly become overloaded if the water purity level is not maintained. BOLLFILTER therefore reliably guarantees the entire snowmaking process, from water extraction from the reservoir to actual "snowmaking" on the ski slope.
Thanks to BOLLFILTER's precise filtration solutions, snowmaking system operators can be confident of a more reliable and efficient snow production.
