The newest generation of Nivis snow makers exploits the compression of water contributing significantly to energy savings in artificial snow production.
Nivis snow makers need neither compressors nor the traditional nucleators. The compressor is replaced by specially developed ejectors which suck in air and produce an air-water mixture that is atomized directly by the nozzle ring.
This system, patented by Nivis, uses the compression of water, contributing to significant SAVINGS IN ENERGY and LOW WEIGHT as well as REDUCING NOISE and MAINTENANCE.
Nivis Storm snow maker is available as a mobile version, on a tower or as a version on the inclined lifting system.
All automatic versions have a WEATHER STATION, automatic swivel device as well as electrical height adjustment. All versions are easily operated via intuitive control panel with color display.
Upon request, the automatic version of the snow maker can be fitted with a customized data transmission system. The COMMUNICATION can be realized by radio, WLAN, Bluetooth, cable, or glass fibre.
