FUNCTIONAL ADVANTAGE​

The Taurus 2.0 snow gun has been recognized for several years as the best lance on the market, for its unique characteristics.

VALVES IN THE HEAD

Efficient design, reduced breakdowns

The TAURUS 2.0 head simplifies the flow management by concentrating functionalities and creating a unique water path in the body of the lance.

30% MORE SNOW

Compared to classical 4 threshold stick guns

The first lance on the market to offer 8 production thresholds, the TAURUS
thus makes it possible to produce an average of 30% more snow by adapting production to each degree of temperature.

This also guarantees a morehomogeneous quality snow during temperature variations.
