FUNCTIONAL ADVANTAGE​

The Makalu fan gun features the latest MND innovations to ensure high performance snowmaking.

INNOVATIVE NOZZLE RING

Less disturbed air flow, less energy consuming

Aerological construction inspired by bird wings for a more powerful and less disturbed air flow.
The volume is compact allowing reduced and automatically regulated heating, thus reducing the power consumption of the snowgun.

HARD NOZZLES

Reliability and durability

The 80 nozzles of MAKALU are made of hardened>900HV.

High abrasion resistance and long life for easy maintenance!

FLOW-REG SYSTEM

Linear regulation of snow production

Thanks to the FLOW-REG technology, the production of snow automatically regulates itself to the nearest tenth of a degree of temperature, thus ensuring an optimized production and homogeneous snow quality.

Available on automatic fan guns.
