FrostBoss®
First introduced in 2009, the C49 composite 4 blade fan has greatly improved the performance of frost fans and uses the most efficient blade on the market. The C49 has increased coverage, lower fuel consumption, is quieter and has a longer blade life. C49 blade sets can be fitted to most other brand fans to improve their performance.
The C59 composite 5 blade fan operates at lower rpm, whilst covering the same area as the C49 with even lower noise levels.
The technology behind the C49 machine has seen it grow in popularity to become the best-selling frost fan in New Zealand and Australia.
New Zealand Frost Fans also manufacture the C29 composite 2 blade fan and the C39 composite 3 blade fan to suit different markets around the world.
