The SMI® PoleCat series was built for simple operation and low maintenance, and is the best option when using a non-potable or unfiltered water supply. The SMI® Silent PoleCat is a simple nozzle fan snowmaker with dampened noise levels yet still delivers excellent snow production for a range of weather conditions expected from the PoleCat technology.
The Silent PoleCat is perfect for snowmaking in areas sensitive to noise from traditional snowmaking systems. Offered in a variety of custom tower and carriage mounts, the Silent PoleCat Snowmaker can be powered by a 4 kW vane compressor, or by hill air feed.
Available in manual or automatic mode, the Silent PoleCat uses a 15 hp (11 kW) fan and 18 spray nozzles that are customized to achieve water flows to suit specific climates. Nucleated with a central six-jet nozzle, water flow is easily controlled by three heated, self-draining valves. The Silent PoleCat is reliable and simple to operate and maintain—an excellent all-around performer for virtually any snowmaking conditions.
