Water filtration in snow making process

Technical snow production

The reliable production of technical snow is becoming increasingly important for winter sports resorts. In order to guarantee snow, water from lakes, streams or reservoirs is pumped at high pressure to the ski slopes to make snow.

To ensure that the particles contained in the water do not damage the snow-making equipment, the water must first be filtered using the aquaBoll®.

The filtration process protects the snow lances and snow cannons. The filter fineness of the BOLLFILTER Automatic is up to 100 µm.

Snowlances | BOLLFILTER — Filtration solution for technical snowmaking

BOLLFILTER to protect pumps, UV systems and nozzles of snow guns and snow lances:

The pumping station is at the heart of every snowmaking system and must operate smoothly regardless of the external conditions. Ensuring the water supply is of crucial importance here. Up to 0.5 cubic meters of water are required to produce one cubic meter of artificial snow. The quality of the water poses a particular challenge. Especially if the water comes from dams or reservoirs. These are often contaminated with fir, spruce and larch needles, leaves and waste.

The global market leader for snow-making systems, relies exclusively on BOLLFILTER. In the pump station, our BOLLFILTER automatics are the first to ensure and, hence, as one of the most important snow-making components in the system, the uninterrupted operation of high-pressure pumps,UV sterilization systems, and snow guns.

The snow cannons, which are located on the ski slopes and are supplied with clean, filtered high-pressure water via a kilometer-long network of shafts, pipes and hydrant systems, are essential for snow production. Both fan-driven snow cannons and snow lances are used to produce the snow.

In addition, the BOLLFILTER protects the nozzles of the snow guns and the lance head of the snow lances from clogging. The nozzles and fan guns can quickly become overloaded if the water purity level is not maintained. BOLLFILTER therefore reliably guarantees the entire snowmaking process, from water extraction from the reservoir to actual "snowmaking" on the ski slope.

Thanks to BOLLFILTER's precise filtration solutions, snowmaking system operators can be confident of a more reliable and efficient snow production.

Advantages for snowmaking systems

Increasing the efficiency of snowmaking systems

Filtration with the help of aquaBoll® prevents the nozzles of the snow cannons and the lance heads of the snow lances from clogging. As a result, they require less maintenance and the snowmaking process is smoother and more reliable due to fewer breakdowns.

Filtration solution individually adapted to requirements

Because the integrity of our filters in snowmaking systems is simple and flexible, BOLLFILTER can offer a customized solution.

High reliability

Thanks to the high quality and durability of our aquaBoll®, you can offer an optimal and cost-effective solution that you can rely on. You can also rely on the availability of our original spare parts.

High performance and quality filters

Thanks to decades of experience with the filtration of water as a medium and enormous expertise in the field of water filtration, we can offer a product of exceptional quality. You will also always have a contact person at your side to help you with your concerns.

Protection of the components

By removing dirt particles up to 100 µm in size, the high-pressure pump and UV sterilization system are protected. This increases the service life of the individual components.

WE WILL BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU.

Advantages for ski resorts

Low effort and reliable support

Thanks to our in-house service teams, who provide support during commissioning and maintenance, you don't have to worry about much. If a problem should arise, our support team will be happy to assist you by phone or on site.

In addition, the BOLLFILTER Automatic is a self-cleaning and individually adapted filter solution. No manual cleaning is therefore necessary. In addition, BOLLFILTER filter solutions offer very good quality. The longevity of the filters can therefore be guaranteed.

More efficient use of resources

As the filters protect the nozzles, high-pressure pumps and UV system from clogging and contamination, the water used can be optimally utilized, ensuring more efficient snow production.
