VERSATILITY / EFFICIENCY / ADAPTABILITY

ONE SNOW GUN FOR ALL CONDITIONS

The SHERPA NPA snow gun impresses with its adaptability to all snowmaking conditions and situations. Due to innovative technology, the mobile SHERPA NPA snow gun can be easily mounted to the SHERPA gunlifter and vice versa.

The highly aerodynamic shape of the barrel and other aerodynamic inovations, such as the stator blade with turbulators, significantly improve the airflow. Combined with an optimal dispersion of water droplets and an advanced nucleation system, this enables the largest throw range and system efficiency on the market in any temperature range, and therefore less work with a snow groomer.

On the basis of detailed research, we have determined an optimum point for the injection of nuclides into the water jet. The result is more snow under marginal conditions.

TECHNICAL DATA

Simple, user- and maintenance-friendly construction

Engineered for maximum performance, with a simple and robust steel construction that is both, lightweight and durable
Carefully designed for easy transport by snow groomer or helicopter, making them ideal for any location or terrain
The modular electrical cabinet system, combined with standard electrical components and SIEMENS computer equipment enables an excellent user experience, ensures easy maintenance and easily accessible spare parts
The GFK barrel is manufactured using vacuum infusion and epoxy resin, which enables a lightweight construction that is durable and resistant to UV radiation and mechanical damage
Pressure sensors (2) are fitted before and after the filter to provide an accurate indication of the filter status
Atlas Copco compressor: oil or oil-free

Superior snow quality and efficiency

The SHERPA NPA snowgun features an innovative aluminium ring with 15 regulation stages that enable efficient control of flow rate and heating of nozzles, allowing the production of snow of the desired quality
High-tech swirl nozzles are designed to disperse water without a built-in swirl chamber, giving them a longer life span
A durable aluminum fan contributes to the exceptional throw range and efficiency of a SHERPA NPA snowgun

The best snow output in marginal conditions

Snowmaking down to -1 °C wet bulb
Nucleators with expansion nozzles ensure optimum nucleation for optimum snow quality and superb performance. This is particularly important when it counts the most - in marginal conditions
