Turbocristal

CHS Snowmakers is the newest member of the Turbocristal team.  Since 1985 Turbocristal has been producing a high quality, high producing snowgun and now with years of research and development they are offering the all new Supercrystal.  It is a redesigned version of their successful Supercool line of guns with improved air flow and water flow along with better nucleation.

CHS Snowmakers and Turbocristal News

We were just awarded a contract to provide automatic snowmaking equipment for the Montana State University's road de-icer test facility this summer. March 26, 2008

Several turnkey snowmaking system requests have come into us, if you have needs for 2008 please get them to us soon.  We already have a very busy summer ahead of us.

Supercrystal

Pictured above is the new Supercrystal running at 200 psi.  With it's wide range of water pressure (150 to 900psi) and a staggering water flow of 15 gpm to 250 gpm with a starting wet bulb temperature of 30º it is the ultimate snowmaking machine.  The biggest benefit to this machine is the fact it doesn't have or need a water filter for the central nozzle, the only fan gun on the market without a filter.  Clogged filters decrease snowmaking production and create many more hours of maintenance and the Supercrystal is the answer to your ongoing problems.  Available with different levels of automation it will allow you to make a perfect resurfacing snow to just what you need to lay down a firm base snow.

This is a close up view of the new central nozzle module.   The cone was designed in a wind tunnel to reduce air turbulence in the barrel, improved nozzle performance, improved neucleators and generally just the best design on the market.  For a spec sheet go to the SuperCrystal web page.

Sauron

This is the new Turbocristal Sauron low energy tower performing well at marginal temperatures.  It has two valves to increase water flow as the temperature drops.  Available for hill air or on board air compressor (25 cfm), 11.5' 21' or 31' towers and either mounted on a sled or post.  Full automation also available for the Sauron.  For a complete spec sheet go to the Sauron web page.

 With the new partnership between Turbocristal and CHS Snowmakers we can offer you engineering, sales, service and turn key snowmaking systems.  Let us do the work for you and see how you can save money, make more snow, save energy and get a better long term investment.

Phoenix

The Phoenix has an internal mixture technology which, combined with the V-shaped layout of the nozzles, optimizes snow production in low water pressure areas (between 100 psi to 160 psi). The Phoenix is particularly effective at marginal temperatures.

Easy to control and operate, both manual and automatic models of the Phoenix are available. The PH95 and PH65 fixed models are suitable for hard-to-reach slopes as well as the tops of medium-width slopes.

Due to the power of its jet, the Phoenix is the least wind-sensitive air/water tower. The addition of an external nozzle lessens the importance of water temperature. The Phoenix requires no special maintenance and is unaffected by poor water quality.

For all details on the Phoenix go the the Turbocristal page.
