The MDG Ice Fog Compack is a sophisticated 1450W water-based low-lying fog machine specifically designed for professional use, offering unparalleled performance, reliability, and safety. This machine is capable of producing pure white low fog continuously, operating at a 100% duty cycle at full volume, which allows for extended use in various applications such as theatrical performances, concerts, and special events. The Ice Fog Compack excels in generating large volumes of very dense low fog quickly, making it one of the most efficient fog machines on the market, while also being remarkably quiet.
At the core of the Ice Fog Compack is a highly engineered electronic assembly that maintains stable temperatures within the heating module(s). This system integrates three fail-safe mechanisms designed to protect against overheating, underheating, and component failure. If the internal temperature reaches 60°C (140°F), a safety circuit activates to disconnect power from the heating elements, preventing any hazardous conditions. The system also continuously monitors temperature, indicated by a HEAT yellow LED that turns on and off to reflect operational status. If an error occurs, such as overheating or if the unit fails to reach the required temperature, the machine will automatically shut down, with the LED blinking to signal a fail mode. Operators can then reset the system after a brief cooldown period. In the case of underheating, fog production will cease until the temperature is restored to safe levels.
The Ice Fog Compack features extremely low fluid consumption, utilizing only 35 ml (1.18 US fl oz) per minute at full output. This efficiency is complemented by an adjustable low fog density setting, allowing users to customize the thickness of the fog to meet specific atmospheric requirements. The fog machine is designed to operate in well-ventilated areas to ensure safety and comfort during use. It is available in both low-pressure and high-pressure versions, providing versatility for different operational needs.
This self-contained unit is mounted on wheels for easy transport between venues, enhancing its portability. A detachable remote control, equipped with an 8 m (26 ft) cable, is included, allowing for convenient operation from a distance. The Ice Fog Compack is also compatible with DMX interfaces and remote control timers, facilitating seamless integration into existing lighting and staging systems. With a maximum warm-up time of just 8 minutes, the machine is quick to deploy, making it suitable for environments that require rapid setup.
The fog produced by the Ice Fog Compack features a particle size range of 0.5 to 4.5 microns, ensuring excellent hanging times and clarity, which enhances the visibility of lighting and laser effects. The machine operates using MDG Low Fog fluid and has a reservoir capacity of 2.5 L (0.66 US gallon), allowing for extended fog production without frequent refills. In terms of CO2 consumption, the low-pressure version utilizes approximately 1.5 L (0.40 US gallon) at 15.5 bar (225 psi) per minute, while the high-pressure version consumes around 1.35 kg (3 lb) at 60.3 bar (875 psi) per minute. The running time for a low-pressure version with a 180 L (48 US gallon) canister is approximately 120 minutes, while the high-pressure version with a 23 kg (50 lb) canister provides about 17 minutes of operation.
The Ice Fog Compack operates on a voltage range of 115 or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, with a power consumption of 1,450 W. With dimensions measuring 45 1/8 inches in total length, 42 3/8 inches in operating length, 25 inches in width, and 32 1/2 inches in height, the unit weighs 200 lbs. When shipped with its flight case, the total weight is manageable, ensuring safe transport. The MDG Ice Fog Compack is CE Declaration approved and SPE1000 certified, confirming compliance with international safety standards. Overall, the Ice Fog Compack stands out as an exceptional choice for professionals seeking a reliable, high-performing low-lying fog machine that delivers stunning atmospheric effects with remarkable efficiency and safety.
