“Onwards and upwards“ is TechnoAlpin’s motto. It stands to reason then that the company

is always looking for potential improvements which can be made, even to its established

products – and successfully so, with the new V3ee complementing the range of lances. The

outstanding feature of the V3ee is its reduced air consumption which is 50% lower than that

of existing products thanks to the further development of nucleators and nozzles. The round

lance head with its cleverly designed honeycomb-type system, which has also proved its

effi ciency in adverse wind conditions, is also used on the V3ee.

POWER IS PRODUCEDIN THE HEAD

1 The outstanding feature of the V3ee is its reduced air consumption thanks to the further development

of nucleators and nozzles. The nucleation process is better with the new nucleators, and the ambient air is

used more efficiently. The nozzles have also been improved, resulting in a better spray action. Naturally, all

the nozzles come with long-life ceramic inserts. A special heat transfer system keeps the lance head free

of ice even in very cold temperatures and with a prevailing headwind – and without using additional energy.

2 Valve technology with water fi lter. The easily accessible overground valve block made of high-qual-

ity die-cast aluminum has been recently developed. Perfected valve technology, the seamless “wedge

wire”-type stainless steel water fi lter, the discharge valves and the reliable sensors guarantee fail-safe

operation and a long service life. 3 The low air consumption has enabled a reduction in the compres-

sor rating to 2.4 kW. The oil-free compressor with integrated cooling circuit requires very little mainte-

nance and is also impressively powerful given its compact dimensions. 4 Electric cabinet. The new,

compact electric cabinet with a centralized cable-entry point avoids having to twist or shear the cables.

1 Lightweight lance construction. The robust chassis made of galvanized steel guarantees high stability

despite its compact dimensions. It is simple to mount on the widest variety of base elements. The hydraulic

height adjustment, manual horizontal turning gear and compact electric cabinet are easy to access and op-

erate. 2 Hydraulic height adjustment. The hydraulic height adjustment cylinder which combines a pump

and tank in one unit means that the lance can be adjusted easily with very little effort. The inbuilt throttle

valve prevents the lance from jerking and, in conjunction with the template, guarantees maximum operating

safety. 3 Plug-in base. The simple and sturdy mechanical structure connector enables fast and effi cient in-

itial installation, and equally simple disassembly for storing the snow generator during the summer months.

The new plug-in base with its double hole pattern and fl at base is ideal for pit and concrete foundations.

1 Precision measurement of temperature and relative atmospheric humidity by the TechnoAlpin

meteo station with support, fi xed cable lengths and connector. The screw connection acts as a cover plate

preventing water seepage while also providing strain relief for the cables. 2 Lighting is provided by an

energy-saving LED headlight. 3 ON/OFF valve. This opens or closes the main water supply. An inbuilt

safety valve automatically shuts off the water supply in case of power failure. 4 Overground valve block.

Sensors and motor valves are securely contained under the cover for transport and on-site handling. The

opening on the bottom ensures that the entire assembly is well ventilated and prevents build up of conden-

sation. Water and air connections can be easily and quickly connected using Camlock coupling without the

risk of confusion (different connector sizes).

Facts and fi gures.

1 Hydraulic height adjustment. Height is adjusted using hydraulic height-adjustment cylinders and a

template with a safety locking pin for maximum operating safety. 2 Mechanical height adjustment – an

alternative to the hydraulic version. Height is mechanically adjusted by a cylinder. After the lance has been

positioned, the cylinder can be removed and used to adjust other lances.
