Why Choose a FrostBoss® Frost Fan?

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

Our advanced 4-blade design features a larger blade area and higher pitch, allowing the fan to operate at slower speeds without the disruptive "chopper" sound typical of 2-blade fans—all while delivering the same exceptional performance. This means more of your fuel is converted into effective wind, reducing turbulence and noise. Proven performance during frost events has shown that 4-blade fans provide deeper penetration and cover larger areas, offering growers peace of mind and reliable frost protection.

Keeping Your Frost Fan Running Optimally

Inactivity is the leading cause of failure, so it's essential to run and check your fans regularly, long before they're needed.

Our expert servicing covers all brands, including FrostBoss®, Orchard-Rite, Amarillo, FMR, Chinook, and Tropic Breeze, giving you confidence in reliable protection when it matters most.

“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."
