A very difficult year lies behind the entire in- dustry. We hope that such a year will never repeat itself, but we still want to look back on it in the new “Snow World”. In spite of the difficult market situation, we have succeeded in implementing several important prestigious projects. The highlight of the year was undoubtedly the market launch of the new Titan 4.0 fan gun, whose performance immediately won over customers worldwide. Titan 4.0 impresses with its sophisticated technology, efficient energy consumption and the record production output of 120 m³/h. Our latest snow lance EOS DUO in a powerful double-head version is also becoming increasingly popular and is one of the top players on the snowmaking market. We are all facing major challenges, however, we intend to look to the future with optimizm and confidence. The focus will continue to be on the uncompromising quality of our snowmaking systems and services. In the new year, we intend to invest more in innovation and digitization, so that we can continuously offer our customers optimized solutions and technologies of the latest generation. Another emphasis is on internal process optimization and particularly on the path towards the diver- sification of our product range, which has already been successfully initiated. We have also used the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic intensively to identify new business fields and applications for our products. Thus an efficient disinfection system was developed for gondolas, as well as an extinguishing turbine for firefighting. In autumn, another important step was taken towards diversification by founding WLP Systems, a company that specializes in dust binding systems and machinery for combating odors. The following pages will provide an insight into our work at DEMACLENKO, what motivates us on a daily basis and how we will continue on our path at full speed. With our products, our know-how and our partners. In this spirit, I hope that you enjoy reading this magazine and wish for a successful new season for all of us. Andreas Lambacher – CEO DEMACLENKO THE COMPLETEST PRODUCT RANGE The product range of DEMACLENKO snow guns is the most complete on the snowmaking market. From high-performance fan guns right up to economical snow lances: there is an appropriate solution for every requirement. In addition to their outstanding snow quality, they are all characterized by high efficiency and an optimal energy balance. Thanks to forward-looking development work and rigorous testing procedures, DEMACLENKO guarantees the 100% reliability of its products. THE TOP PERFORMER ON THE MARKET · Outstanding production quantity of 157 Yd³/h (120 m³/h) · Redesigned nozzle ring and increased number of stainless steel water nozzles by another 4, which creates a 5% increase in total flow rate in comparison to the predecessor model 25.4 GPM (12 l/s) · Even with systems that do not have much pressure, the machine puts through a very large volume of water and thereby produces more snow · Increasing of the air volume flowing through thanks to the rede- signed shape of the blower and the special shape of the winglets, which leads to more thrust and a longer throwing range to 262 ft. (80 m), i.e. an increase of nearly 10% · Reduction of power consumption to only 23 kW · Titan 4.0 also features efficient air cooling via the water circuit - a technology that has been standard and proven in DEMACLENKO snow guns for years · Optimized performance in the marginal temperature range, as the water module and nozzle ring are combined and fitted with another switching circuit · Equipped with the latest power electronics and the tried-and-tested DEMACLENKO touch control terminal as standard, which can be operated easily with any types of gloves · All parts that may need to be serviced are grouped in central places and are easily accessible · Relatively low weight, which is particularly crucial for safe and easy transport by helicopter or snow groomer Richard Rimml, snowmaker at Pitztaler Glacier: Silent “The Titan 4.0 convinced us all along the line. Compared to other snow guns, it stands out and THE SILENT HERO OF THE SNOW GUNS impresses with its simple operation, high produc- tion volume and extraordinary throwing range. In · The noise-reduced version of the Titan 4.0 with a minimal noise level addition, its design is very appealing and modern. and simultaneously unchanged snow output of 157 Yd³/h (120 m³/h) Another advantage is its low weight and well-de- · Newly designed blower with a barrel made of FRP (fibreglass com- signed docking device for the snow groomer. This posite) in a special model for soundproofing guarantees the machine’s ideal transportability, even on steep slopes”. PROVEN BESTSELLER · Outstanding snow production of up to 144 Yd³/h (110 m³/h) · Consolidated technology FIRST-CLASS WITH MARGINAL TEMPERATURES · Unique “multi-nozzle” water nozzle system · First-class results with marginal temperatures, high humidity and systems in the low-pressure range ACHIEVE SUCCESS WITH QUIET SNOW · Minimal noise level with outstanding snow output of 144 Yd³/h (110 m³/h) · Especially suitable for use close to residential areas PERFORMANCE, TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN · Snow production of up to 118 Yd³/h (90 m³/h) with input power of only 20 kW · Incomparable ratio between snow quantity and energy consumption COMPACT AND RESOURCE-CONSERVING · Energy-efficient snow gun with a low weight and snow production of 92 Yd³/h (70 m³/h) · Most efficient in the compact class with power consumption of only 16 kW FAN GUNS _ 04 / 05 EOS - THE EFFICIENCY WONDER AMONG SNOW LANCES Optimal snow production with minimal energy insert make it extremely robust against external input: this sums up the strengths of the EOS by influences and the fully-developed technology DEMACLENKO exactly.

The product designs are based on the customer’s requirements and above all promise one thing: an unbeatable ratio between performance and production quantity. With a water flow rate of up to 110 US-GPM (7 l/s) and a production quantity of 80 Yd³/h (61 m³/h), the EOS is one of the top players. At the same time, the power consumption is only 0.25 to 1.8 kW, de- pending on the model. The optional compressor is EOS 8 operated oil-free and is one of the most efficient and highest-quality solutions available on the EOS A8/M8 market, with only 1.5 kW. The low total weight ensures simple assembly and dismantling and the EOS is also very low-main- tenance, due to its high-quality design.

With a spraying radius of 210°, the EOS DUO covers a large area and is ideal above all for punctual enhancement of indi- vidual piste sections with suitable wind conditions. It combines the usual unbeatable energy efficiency of the EOS with a strong water flow rate of approx- imately 143 US-GPM (9 l/s), which increases the snowmaking efficiency considerably. Ludwig Keller, CEO of Berglifte Giselher Langes “We’ve had a very good working relationship with DEMACLENKO for years. We were also the first ski resort to test their EOS DUO, as we had already expressed a desire for such a model in advance. Our conclusions were consistently positive. Where local conditions permit, the double-headed lance’s advantages are clear: almost twice as much snow of the same quality as with a standard lance. Add to that the product’s outstanding energy balance, which makes for very efficient snowmaking”. In the test stands in Vipiteno (IT) and Telfs (AT), the machines are put through their paces.
