Why Choose a FrostBoss® Frost Fan?

FrostBoss® fans are designed to deliver superior coverage and quiet operation while optimising fuel efficiency. The FrostBoss® C49 4-blade fan, our most popular model, stands out with unmatched coverage of up to 8 hectares, and the lowest fuel consumption among diesel frost fans.

Our advanced blade design features a larger surface area and precisely engineered blade angles along its entire length—from the center hub to the outer tip—ensuring efficient airflow and maximised performance. This allows the fan engine to run at slower speeds, significantly reducing the disruptive "chopper" noise typical of 2-blade fans. Performance tests during frost events have proven that FrostBoss® 4-blade fans achieve deeper coverage and protect larger areas, giving growers reliable, cost-effective frost protection and peace of mind.

Unmatched Benefits for Crop Protection

Lower Cost Per Hectare

With greater coverage, reduced fuel consumption, and therefore a lower running cost per hectare, FrostBoss® frost fans deliver unmatched value to growers worldwide.

BLADE UpgradeS

Upgrade to FrostBoss® Blades

Upgrade your competitor frost fan to FrostBoss® composite blades to achieve superior efficiency, quieter operation, and longer lifespan. Engineered for optimal airflow performance, our advanced blade design increases coverage and enables engines to run at lower speeds, delivering quieter, more cost-effective frost protection.

2-blade to 4-blades

Upgrade your 2-blade fan to a 4-blade fan with FrostBoss® (C49) composite blades. Reduce noise, lower engine speeds, and increase coverage for quieter, more efficient frost protection.

2-blade to 3-blades

Upgrade your 2-blade fan to a 3-blade fan with FrostBoss® (C39) composite blades. Perfect for when gearbox ratios don’t support a 4-blade upgrade, it still reduces noise and enhances coverage for better frost protection.

“The investment in FrostBoss® Frost Fans was seen as excellent value compared to the estimated $24 million lost to frost in the previous year.
‍
With a total of 176  frost fan machines, the growers are given peace of mind knowing that  frost mitigation is in place across the groves.”

“They’ve been outstanding with the area they cover, ease of access to the motor and large 490 litre capacity fuel tanks.

We also had New Zealand Frost Fans upgrade the old alloy blades on our current machines with the FrostBoss® C39 composite blades (3 blade system) and these have proven to be quieter and more efficient.”

“Our customers rely on us for supply and to do what we can to protect hard-won shelf space. In fact, one of our customers helped us buy two of the fans.

Frost fans have seen our average yield increase by 2 tonnes per hectare. We prefer fans over water irrigation, which can jeopardise quality if you’re watering for frost when the vines don’t need it."
