How Far Will The Smoke Machines Shoot The Fog?

The smoke-shooting range can vary with different machines. A high capacity machine with a super jet can shoot up to 10m. Another lesser capacity fog machine might shoot only 6m. However, higher shooting capacity is not necessary for all events.

It depends on the area that you want the fog machine to cover.

How Long Will The Fog Dispersion Last?

The run time of smoke machines depends on a variety of factors. Firstly, it varies as per the machine capacity. Even with a particular capacity, you can adjust the output to control the running time.

For instance, a dry ice machine with about 26 pounds ice capacity can run up to 6 minutes in full force. If you adjust the output level to 50%, then the device can last up to 10 minutes.

Another factor is the type of smoke machine. A water-based machine lasts much longer than a dry ice machine. While the former is suitable for indoor environments with a run time of about 2 hours, the latter will only last for a few minutes.

Hence, it is advisable to choose a machine depending on the event type and output requirement.

How Are Fog Machines Different From CO2 Jet Machines?

What is The Right Capacity of The Fog Machine?

The output of a smoke machine is measured in cubic feet per minute. There is no standard capacity for production. You should select a device that suits your requirements. A large stage requires more output to showcase special effects. You might need multiple machines if you wish to cover a large area.

What Are The Basic Features to Look For in a Fog Machine?

· Warm-up time

These smoke machines require some time to warm up before dispersing fog. This time is mainly needed to heat the system that generates the smoke.

The warm-up time can last for several minutes. Hence, you need to prepare the machine beforehand to generate fog at the right moment.

· Power

Mostly the power consumption signifies the strength and size of the machine. Higher power consumption, say 3000 W, produces a much bigger smoke output than a lesser powerful machine.

· Tank capacity

The tank capacity is the water/ oil capacity of the specific machine. It helps to determine the run time of the fog. A higher water/ ice storage provides a much longer fog run time.

What Are Some of The Unique Features of Smoke Machines?

Other features include a pre-installed sensor to auto shut the machine once the liquid reaches a lower level.
