Robust and reliable fittings for snowmaking

The snowmaking industry is a highly specialised sector with one of the most demanding fields of application. It ensures that ski slopes, winter parks and training facilities can be operated reliably even when natural snow conditions are insufficient. This industry is characterised by the combination of nature and technology, as every snowmaking system works in direct interaction with changing weather conditions, altitudes and temperature limits.

Extreme environmental and operating conditions
Couplings and fittings are exposed to extreme temperature changes and pressure peaks. The greatest risks include material fatigue, icing and seal failure. The components used must therefore be able to withstand these conditions reliably.

System safety and plant availability
Snow-making systems consist of complex networks comprising pumping stations, compressors, pipelines, couplings and snow cannons. Failures of individual components can affect entire sections of slopes. Absolutely reliable couplings are therefore crucial for the functionality of the entire system.

Standard-compliant components
The fittings and couplings used are under high pressure, which poses a risk to the user not only in the event of incorrect operation. For this reason, the products must meet all safety-related requirements and comply with certification standards such as DIN EN 14420-7 and TÜV. This is the only way to ensure faultless operation and outstanding operational safety.
