Our 3.0 BASIC model has a compact structure. It is a single-piece unit with dimensions of 2.80 m × 1.20 m and is mounted on a concrete base. It is an economical model with manual operation.
General Technical Specifications
It is manufactured using the latest technology and software in the world.
There is no equivalent. It is patented (2022/005402).
It is effective over at least 800 decares of land, and this effectiveness is proven.
The cost per decare is quite low.
It is easy and versatile to use.
The system can be operated, if desired:
By sending SMS
Via GSM mobile phones with Android and iOS applications
Through a central computer or tablet
Manually via the touch screen
With the connection to the weather radar, the system automatically starts operating once it receives information that hailfall parameters have formed. If desired, it can also be monitored from our production center.
All components of our chimney are protected against corrosion with 8-micron hot-dip galvanization. The entire automation unit, gas assembly, cylinders, and all other components that make up the machine are housed in a durable, anodized-painted, locked, and secure sheet metal cabinet suitable for outdoor conditions.
With our registered Planus Impact Throat® PEB®, high-frequency sonic sound waves produced are transmitted up to the desired altitude within the cloud. This increases the effectiveness of our machine and provides counteraction according to the hail formation height.
Without being next to the system, you can either call the machine and listen to the explosion sound, or visually monitor the explosion intensity with Planus Db Reading® PSO®. These features clearly transmit and verify the operating status of the machine remotely.
The gas–air mixture is critical for the explosion. Winds and storms that form before hailfall affect this mixture and may cause the machine not to operate or reduce its effectiveness. With our registered invention Planus Gas Transmission System® PGS®, this problem is eliminated, ensuring complete combustion and consistent sound at the desired altitude. It is unique and effective.
Fire safety is ensured with the Planus Fire Protection System® PYS®. In case of a leak, all gas transmission and electrical loads are shut down. It can be reopened manually after inspection.
The system draws all its energy from a 205 W monocrystalline solar panel and continuously generates the required power thanks to its gel battery. Energy optimization is provided by the built-in solar charge controller. All cabling consists of superior quality products that ensure energy efficiency. All system data can be accessed remotely.
The system includes 4 special ignition spark plugs, 2 solenoid valves, and flame arresters, providing redundancy in case of possible failures and ensuring continuous operation.
Thanks to the gas leak vent valve, the entire system shuts down in case of a gas leak. It must then be reopened manually.
The safety of our machines is ensured through alarm notifications. If desired, a camera system with DVR recording can be integrated. All cabling is flame-retardant and protected against lightning strikes.
The system operates with an industrial PLC and domestic software, which is superior to circuit-board-based systems. This allows us full access to all information and technical control. It has two SIM cards, and communication is maintained via SMS and Static IP.
