GenTech SA Project Case Study

4 × 60 kVA FAW Mobile Generators — Carry Cranes

A specialised generator solution for citrus-orchard frost-protection fans, developed from an on-site assessment and proven on the actual equipment.

ApplicationCitrus frost protection
The challenge

Understanding what the site actually required.

The generators were required to power large orchard fans used to circulate air across citrus trees during cold conditions, helping protect the trees and fruit from frost damage. A generator previously rented for the application did not operate the fan in the way the customer required.

GenTech SA solution

Engineering the generator solution around the application.

GenTech SA visited the site to assess the actual fan and its operating requirements, then built a 60 kVA FAW generator configured for the application. After the first unit was successfully tested with the equipment, three additional trailer-mounted 60 kVA generators were ordered and delivered for the same type of application in Barberton.

Project takeaway

Generator selection is not only about a kVA number. The equipment, starting behaviour and real operating requirement must be considered.
