Fog, Haze & Smoke Machines
Fog, haze and smoke machines are widely used in the entertainment sector because they can create exciting effects that add to the atmosphere of live events like theatre shows and concerts. Theatrical smoke and fog devices generate a haze that boosts the effects of lighting and makes beams of light more visible to spectators, resulting in a brighter display that looks attractive to the eye.
- Fog machines (which are also commonly known as smoke machines) work by emitting a dense vapour into the air that looks like smoke. Smoke fogging machines work using a mixture of haze fluids which condense when released in the open air to create an almost opaque, obvious fog. Fog/smoke machines are offered in a wide range of sizes and the selection is normally dependent upon the output required and the size of the venue the fog machine is intended for.
- Haze machines and hazers are different to fog machines in that they produce a very light and subtle fog that lasts much longer and can hang in the air for hours rather than minutes. They do not produce the same visible effect so you will not achieve that cloud of fog or obscure normal vision like you do with fog machines. If you are purchasing a machine for the sole purpose of enhancing the lighting in a specific area then a haze machine would be the best choice. In addition they are less likely to trigger off sensitive smoke alarms which can be a problem in commercial venues. We offer a wide range of haze machines in this section including DMX models for large venues.
Enhancing any occasion
From music tours, raves and outdoor concerts to use in video arcades, weddings, Halloween parties and social events, fog, haze and smoke machines are an ideal addition to any occasion where captivating the audience is essential. Transform your next concert into a show-stopping event by selecting one of our competitively priced special effects machines.
Please note, with low warm up times and precision technology, larger smoke and fog machines are ideal for theatrical applications where timing is vital to the storyline. Producing massive volumes of smoke, these devices are perfect for the professional user.
Novices and newcomers may be better suited to portable smoke and fog machines. Options like the Antari "Fog in a Can" that is easy to use and can fill a room with light smoke in 20 seconds are also a good option.
Most of the smoke and haze machines in this section take water-based fluid which is also available to purchase online. Speak to us to find out more and benefit from expert advice and guidance on buying the best fog/smoke machine!
