How to Use an Fog Machine

How Does a Fog Machine Work?

There are two major types of fog machines.

  • Heated fog machines work by using either a gas or an electric pump to propel a glycol or glycerin water mixture into a heat exchanger. There the solution is vaporized to create the fog.
  • Chilled fog machines are created by using dry ice, liquid nitrogen, or even liquid air. These fog machines create the kind of fog that rolls over surfaces and stays low to the ground.  

How Do I Use the Antari Fog Machine?

Now that you have your Antari machine, its time to make some fog stage effects. But theres really no use jazzing up your fog with cool lighting if you dont know how to work the machine in the first place. 

  • Plug your machine into a grounded electrical outlet for safety purposes. 
  • Turn the power switch on and then wait for it to complete its warm-up time. Youll know its warmed up when the green lamp lights up on the remote unit.
  • To create the proper stage effect, youll need distilled water. Distilled water is free of any minerals that might mess up your fog machine and affect the output. 
  • Check your fog machine to see how many liters of distilled water it can hold. The Antari ICE-101 holds about 2.5 liters of distilled water.  
  • To emit fog, press the corresponding button on your remote for the right amount of time. 

How Do I Clean the Antari Fog Machine?

Your machines need regular care and maintenance. Do you use it infrequently? Has the output decreased? Its probably time for you to clean it. 

  • The water tank in your fog machine must be regularly drained. 
  • Mix a solution of white vinegar and distilled water (1 part vinegar, 8 parts water), then fill the fluid tank with the cleaning solution. 
  • Run it through your fog machine until it stops running. 
  • Repeat this process up to five times, then run it through with normal distilled water up to five times. 

Antari fog and special effect machines are a good standard machine if youre in show business. If you want to add an extra effect to your lighting show, consider the addition of a fog machine.
