The TOPGUN is not so much a name as it is a statement. It is the “TOP” low-air/water tower snow”GUN” on the market today available as either a low-air/water tower snowgun or as a retrofit module for your existing towers. The capabilities of the TOPGUN snowgun is unmatched being compared to that of an electric fan snowgun, all at less than 1/10 the cost! The TOPGUN is even priced less than existing single-stage low-air/water tower snowguns. The price and performance of the TOPGUN are unparalleled.
The TOPGUN snowgun is designed specifically to be used in environments of variable temperatures where different water rates are necessary to maximize snow production. The TOPGUN snowgun achieves this in the easiest manner while maximizing your return on investment.
The TOPGUN snowgun is designed to be easily moved, changed, and fine tuned for those who operate the equipment in the middle of the night. TOPGUN was also designed to be a cost effective solution for those who pay the bills. TOPGUN generates lower operating and capital costs while increasing revenue and margins. This is the TOPGUN cornerstone.
The TOPGUN has several features to simplify operation and maximize efficient production. Some of those features are listed below. Click to expand and learn more.
The patented TOPGUN 9-Stage Valve allows you to change the flow rate (higher or lower) to maximize snow production when the temperature changes. You can be assured of putting snow on the trail instead of the trees.
There is never a need to lower the snowgun to change water settings or flow rates. Simply turn the handle at the bottom of the snowgun to increase or decrease flow rates for all five settings.
Never worry about freezing the TOPGUN Valve. Due to its unique design and continuous water flow there is no opportunity of freezing while in operation. And the valve body will automatically drain during normal shut down or system failure to eliminate the possibility of freezing.
With TOPGUN’s exclusive Nucleation Nozzle technology and directional discharge head design, place your snow where you want it requiring less grooming.
By utilizing the exclusive and patent-pending Nucleation Nozzle, the TOPGUN snowgun is more flexible than ever. With standard rates of 100 cfm/20 gpm, the TOPGUN is ideal for warm weather conditions on the snowgun’s first-stage setting. If your particular situation is different, the center Nucleation Nozzle on the TOPGUN can easily be changed to maximize your snow production on the first water setting of the TOPGUN. Once done, simply turn the handle to add more water to the central Nucleation Nozzle stream for flows greater than 100 gpm.
Use less air (15, 45, 75, 100 cfm) than with traditional air/water guns while maintaining comparable performance.
Every TOPGUN Snowmaking System product is designed and built with a modular concept allowing you to add or remove capabilities or exchange parts easily among towers. With this system you can upgrade a single-stage tower to TOPGUN 9-stage capabilities in less than 30 minutes.
The O-ring seals eliminate the common problem of paper or rubber gasket blowout. The TOPGUN high-pressure O-ring is rated to 1000 psi, ensuring that you never have to worry about a blowout occurring.
The TOPGUN is designed, engineered, and constructed for heavy use and long operation times in mind. Our entire line of snowguns are manufactured to withstand pressures of up to 1000 psi and are manufactured using the latest in construction methods providing you with maintenance free operation.
