Le Maitre USA Launches the New EcoHazerLe Maitre has launched a brand new hazer -- the EcoHazer, following feedback from a world-first preview at LDI in November last year. The company says Le Maitre hazers are already known for their output and low-power consumption, and utilizes the haze fluid which converts to produce the pure, efficient, and long lasting haze. The company has now rebranded as PureHaze Fluid to further underline these benefits. The new EcoHazer takes the environmental aspect even further and Le Maitre says the company "believes that it is the most energy efficient water-based hazer on the market today." The EcoHazer consumes a low 100-150W. The EcoHazer uses a completely new heating system borne out of Le Maitre's R&D team's experience when they developed the HazeMaster and which provides two significant benefits. Firstly, it is highly efficient, drawing less than 0.4A at operating temperature. Secondly, it is self-regulating temperature-wise, so there's no risk of burning the fluid or damaging the unit. The company adds there is no trade-off with output. At first glance the variable output of 2cc/hr to 50cc/hr haze may seem on the low side, but the company says the effect is akin to competitive units of some 400cc/hr -- with the difference being Le Maitre's haze fluid. The PureHaze Fluid is 85-90% active ingredient combined with just 10-15% water. This makes the EcoHazer both more efficient and cost effective. Combined with the fact that Le Maitre's sugar-based fluid is extremely green and completely safe (Le Maitre's PureHaze Fluid is included in equipment guidelines, calibration, and health effects reports on the use of smoke and haze prepared by bodies including ESTA (now PLASA) and Environ) to use on the stage or in crowded clubs and Le Maitre's EcoHazer is an environmentally friendly winning product all round. Operation of the EcoHazer is either manual via a user friendly control panel with two rotary controls for output and fan or via intelligent, self-detecting DMX (two channels). The maximum fan setting is 71m3/hr and direction is manually adjustable from 0- to 90-degrees. A three-digit LED display clearly displays the settings. The EcoHazer takes just five minutes to heat up and then it's ready to go. Self-purging at the end of operation is quick and easy -- just haze off and then power off will ensure haze is flushed out of the system keeping it clean for machine life longevity.
