How protect your crop?

In the field Experience

30 years frost protection
We started our Frost Protection carreer 30 years ago. The first installation is dating from 1988.

At the time, we had to educate everyone about the possibilities of wind machines in frost protection. Additionally, we had to explain about inversion layers. This is the phenomena where the air is colder at tree level than it is at 15 m height.

Of course we have been tested many times. We had to protect orchards at the most frost sensitive places as people wanted to see if it really worked. If it indeed can protect the worst places. And, yes, we succeeded.
Our wind machines did their job, they have an up to 99% customer satisfaction.

We have our own experience, and in some more complex cases we have the support of Orchard - Rite 40 years experience.

Wind Machine

Wind Machine Frost Protection
Over the years, we have been able to evaluate various frost protection systems.

  • Sprinklers
  • Small individual heaters
  • Dynamic orchard heating
  • Fans (wind machines).

Protection by wind machines gives, by far, the best cost / protection ratio.

Wind machines are thé solution especially for the larger surfaces (more than 7Ha).

The cost for protection per year, per Ha < 400 EURO.

TOP Quality

Meanwhile there are already several producers of Wind Machines. Not all of these machines have the same efficiency. The difference in protected surface is sometimes very significant.

We advice you to Check check and double check.

Our advice is always: visit owners of multiple machines. Of course we are absolutely convinced that Orchard - Rite owners will be very positive.

With our years of experience, the many machines installed all over Europe, and the support of the world leader, we are sure that we bring the best cost / efficiency.

Reliability

Orchard - Rite wind machines have a good reputation for their reliability and robustness.

All parts are made out of high-quality materials, under own management. Nothing is left to chance.

That is why on the field there is very limited failure percentage.

This reliability is very significant in frost protection. After all, a few nights decide on an important part of the annual harvest.
