Elation Launches F-3 Fazer Dry Fog Machine From Antari

The F-3 Fazer from Antari is a DMX-compatible 800W water-based dry fog machine comes integrated in its own rugged steel flight case, which keeps it securely protected from shock, nicks, dents and other damage during travel. The F-3 Fazer's innovative case design also makes it easily stackable, so it can be packed up and transported with no fuss and hassle - and ready to roll anytime the show goes on the road.

Antari's state-of-the-art pump system, it operates with super efficiency to produce a fine, dry fog with minimal fluid consumption, the company says. For example, just one liter of fog liquid will provide five hours of continuous fogging, so each bottle of fluid lasts longer and less time is spent refilling the machine.

The fog produced by the F-3 is superior in quality, too, the company adds. A fine and extremely dry fog, it won't cloud up a room or theatre with heavy smoke, and it leaves no residue on floors, walls, and other surfaces. No liquid or residual build-up is left in the machine's heater either, resulting in less maintenance and a longer life. Extremely silent in its operation, the F-3 is also suitable for film and video production.

"The Antari F-3 Fazer is an advanced water-based dry fog machine that's ideal for a variety of applications," said Eric Loader, director of sales for Elation Professional, the exclusive North American distributor for Antari products. "It's especially great for travel and touring, because of its unique design of being integrated into its own flight case. Plus, it utilizes Antari's latest, most advanced pump system, which produces a very high-quality thin, dry fog and operates very efficiently on minimal amounts of fog fluid."

Built-in DMX functionality is another feature offered by the F-3, giving users pinpoint control over their fog effects. The machine can also be operated via external controls from a convenient LCD screen, which provides timer mode and volume mode options.

Powered by an 800W heater, the F-3 Fazer has a 2.7 liter tank and an output of 3,000 cu. ft. per minute. Its initial warm-up time is only 90 seconds, so it's ready to start fogging almost as soon as you turn it on. The F-3 Fazer uses FLG-4 water-based heavy fog fluid. The unit's travel-friendly case measures 21.25"L x 19.75"W x 9.25"H/ 540 x 500 x 235 mm, and weighs 45 lbs.
