65 fans, 12 days: Orana Olives' game-changing frost protection 

A landmark installation in 2025 underscored FrostBoss’ expertise in delivering large-scale, high-performance solutions.

Orana Olives, located in Borung, Victoria, faced increasing frost risks that threatened the vitality of their premium olive groves.

This initiative began with the commissioning of a comprehensive scientific frost protection analysis by FrostConsult, ensuring a data-driven approach to understanding the frost issue and optimising the fan layout for maximum efficiency.

Speed was of the essence, as the installation needed to be completed before the arrival of late autumn frosts (March/April), which are a persistent challenge for growers in Victoria.

FrostBoss executed the massive project with remarkable efficiency:

•Five days to pour all 65 concrete pads

•Three days to transport and assemble the machines

•Two days to stand and commission all 65 fans (34 fans stood in a single day, followed by 31 the next day)
From the first excavation on March 11 to final commissioning on March 25, the project was completed in just 12 days – a testament to FrostBoss’ engineering precision, operational excellence, and ability to scale solutions for growers.

The four-blade design eliminates disruptive low-frequency noise typical of conventional two-blade fans, making FrostBoss machines among the quietest and most effective on the market.
