Buy Haze Machines

Haze Machines have become one of the most popular effects machines on the market in recent years, due to the professionalism of the effect style. Although a staged venue or theatre will do well with a smaller and more affordable smoke machine, haze offers an effect unmatched.

Being one of the safest systems out there to use due to having a less intense mist output, these machines are ideal for mixing with a wide range of different lighting If you're looking to see them in action, you'll discover videos on the respective item pages which allow you to visualise the effects from home before you buy.

Let this system help you to take the next step in your professional career, link your hazer up via its DMX capability and reenact that stunning haze effect you've seen in places from festivals to arena shows, all on command.

What exactly is a Haze Machine?

In short, a haze system produces a less thick smoke effect and you will often see DMX hazers in action during large events or theatre shows. As the haze builds in the room it helps to further distinguish any beams of light present, enhancing the atmosphere. This will usually happen in short bursts as you are entering the venue but during the performances, you will notice more sporadic bursts.

The timed aspect of this process is important to maintain the consistency of the lighting design during the show so professionals tend to use the DMX hazer function. DMX Haze machines have built-in controls that allow you to set timers or even link them with other DMX compatible equipment. These machines warm up in under ten minutes and due to the finer mist output, this is a safe machine to use at venues of most sizes.

It’s important to realise that haze smoke is not the same as the regular smoke effect, haze has a much longer 'hang time'. This means the effect will last in the air without disappearing shortly after as most normal smoke tends to do. In any event that has any degree of professional lighting, it’s very likely there will also be a DMX hazer nearby to compliment them.

DMX Haze Machine Benefits

The primary benefit of DMX haze machines is the ability to control them remotely via a DMX controller. This feature allows lighting technicians and DJs to activate and adjust the haze output without needing to be physically near the machine. Such remote control is especially useful in large venues or during complex productions where quick adjustments are necessary. By incorporating DMX haze machines into a lighting rig, operators can maintain optimal haze levels throughout the event, creating the perfect environment for lighting effects.

Synchronisation with light shows is another key advantage of DMX haze machines. The fine mist produced by haze machines interacts beautifully with light beams, making them more visible and creating a dynamic, three-dimensional effect. Using a DMX controller, the haze output can be precisely timed and adjusted to coincide with specific lighting cues. This synchronisation enhances the overall visual experience, as the haze highlights the movement and colours of the lights, making the show more engaging and immersive.

Haze machines with DMX are also known for their versatility and ease of integration. They can be seamlessly incorporated into existing DMX lighting systems, allowing for unified control of both lighting and haze effects. This integration simplifies the setup and operation process, making it easier for technicians to create cohesive and professional-looking light shows. With the ability to program and control multiple devices from a single console, managing complex productions becomes more straightforward and efficient.

Additionally, the reliability and consistency of DMX haze machines make them a preferred choice for many professionals. These machines are designed to produce a steady, even haze that can be maintained throughout an event. The consistency of the haze ensures that lighting effects remain prominent and effective, providing a stable backdrop for performances.

Hazer Smoke Machine Operation

Operating a hazer smoke machine is straightforward, with various control options available to suit different needs and preferences. Most haze machines come with built-in control panels, making it easy to adjust settings directly on the device. These control panels typically feature simple interfaces with buttons and dials for adjusting the output level, fan speed, and other key parameters. This direct control allows users to quickly set up and fine-tune the machine to achieve the desired haze effect.

In addition to built-in control panels, many haze machines include remote controls, providing convenient operation from a distance. These remote controls can be wired or wireless, offering flexibility depending on the venue and setup. With a remote control, users can activate the haze machine, adjust the output, and even start or stop the machine without needing to be near it. This feature is particularly useful during live events or performances, where quick and easy adjustments are often required.

Some haze machines are also equipped with DMX control, allowing for integration with larger lighting and effects setups. This enables users to control the haze machine using a DMX controller, synchronising it with other lighting effects for a coordinated and dynamic show. DMX control adds an additional layer of flexibility, particularly for more complex productions.

Many modern hazer smoke machines come with built-in timer and interval functions, which allow for automated operation. These features enable users to set the machine to produce haze at specific intervals and durations, ensuring a consistent level of haze throughout an event. The timer function can be programmed to start and stop the haze output at predetermined times, reducing the need for manual intervention and allowing for a more seamless operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are haze machines used for?

Similar to fog, hazers produce a lighter, more subtle effect that lingers in the air for a much longer amount of time. They can fill a large space for upwards of an hour and is used to make light beams visible. It’s ideal for use prior to a stage show or DJ performance.

Haze machines VS smoke machines

  • Hazers have a shorter heat-up time and can be used continuously without needing to reheat
  • Haze is a finer, lighter vapour mainly for making light beams visible
  • Smoke is thicker and opaque for creating an atmosphere
  • Haze lingers in the air for upwards of an hour, smoke only lasts for a few minutes

Do haze machines leave a residue?

Even though hazer’s produced a much thinner and less dense vapour, they can still leave behind a sticky residue on surfaces and equipment. This means a quick clean of floors, walls and equipment may be necessary after the machine is used, especially if they were in close proximity to the hazer.

What do you put in a haze machine?

In a haze machine, you use haze fluid to create the fine mist that enhances lighting effects. There are two main types of haze fluid: oil-based and water-based. Oil-based haze fluid tends to produce a longer-lasting haze and is often preferred for larger venues or extended events.

Water-based haze fluid, on the other hand, is more commonly used due to its lower maintenance requirements and reduced risk of residue build-up. It's important to use the appropriate type of haze fluid for your specific machine, as using the wrong fluid can damage the equipment or produce suboptimal haze effects.

Can you put smoke fluid in a haze machine?

No, you should not put smoke fluid in a haze machine, as they are designed for different types of fluids. Haze machines require specialised haze fluid, which is formulated to create a fine, consistent mist. Using smoke fluid, which is thicker and intended for creating dense fog, can damage the haze machine's components and result in suboptimal performance.

How do haze machines work?

Haze fluid is poured into the tank reservoir, where the heating element heats the fluid up extremely quickly. Once the fluid has been vaporized, it’s blown out by a fan in a light haze. These can be run continuously until the tank runs out without having to stop to re-heat.

Are haze machines safe to breathe?

Most haze fluids are water or oil-based mixed with low levels of glycerin or glycol, which are non-lethal when vaporised. The haze is therefore totally safe for indoor use and can be inhaled without affecting your health or triggering an asthmatic reaction. Prolonged excessive exposure can cause a dry mouth.

What does a haze machine do?

A haze machine produces a fine, consistent mist that evenly fills a space with a light haze. Unlike smoke machines, which create thicker, more opaque fog, haze machines are designed to enhance lighting effects subtly. The fine particles in the haze catch and diffuse light beams, making them more visible and creating a more dynamic visual atmosphere without obstructing visibility.

This makes haze machines ideal for use in concerts, theatres, and other events where highlighting light beams and creating an atmospheric effect is desired. The haze is generally less dense and longer-lasting than smoke, providing a continuous atmospheric enhancement.

Will a haze machine set off a smoke alarm?

Yes, a haze machine can potentially set off a smoke alarm, especially if the haze becomes dense enough to be detected by the alarm's sensors. Smoke alarms, particularly optical or photoelectric types, can mistake the fine particles from the haze for smoke. To minimise the risk of triggering alarms, it's important to ensure proper ventilation and monitor the density of the haze.

Additionally, consulting with the venue beforehand to understand their alarm system and obtaining approval for using the haze machine can help prevent any unexpected disruptions.

Where do you put a haze machine?

When positioning a haze machine, place it in a location that allows for even distribution of the haze throughout the space. Ideally, it should be elevated off the ground, such as on a stage or a sturdy platform, to prevent the haze from settling too quickly. Ensure it is positioned away from direct airflow from vents or fans, as these can disperse the haze unevenly.

For optimal results, place the haze machine in a central or strategic spot where it can efficiently spread the fine mist and enhance the lighting effects without creating overly dense patches.
