MDG Me8 - 5630W Oil-Based Octo Nozzle Fog Machine with Built-in Remote and DMX in Black Finish

The MDG Me8 is a high-performance 5630W oil-based fog machine specifically designed for professional applications, offering exceptional reliability and safety. This octo nozzle fog generator is capable of producing pure white, non-toxic fog continuously, supporting a 100% duty cycle for extended fog production as long as fluid is available. Equipped with the Automatic Purging System (APS), the Me8 ensures that the heating modules are purged after the initial heating cycle and after each fog emission, effectively preventing any residual buildup that could lead to clogging and operational issues. This feature is critical for maintaining consistent performance and prolonging the life of the machine.

The Me8 is engineered to deliver variable output, allowing for precise control over fog intensity from 0% to 100%. This can be achieved using DMX or RDM devices, or via direct local control, making it suitable for a wide range of applications from concerts to theatrical performances. With its eight nozzles, the Me8 generates an impressive maximum fog output of 800 m3 (28,252 ft3) per minute, enabling rapid coverage of large areas with dense fog. The generator is designed to produce one of the quietest operations on the market, ensuring minimal disturbance in sensitive environments.

At the heart of the MDG Me8 lies a sophisticated electronic assembly that keeps the heat exchanger at a stable temperature. The machine is equipped with three fail-safe systems designed to protect against overheating, underheating, and component failure. If the internal temperature exceeds 60°C (140°F), a safety circuit activates to cut power to the heating elements, preventing any hazardous conditions. In the event of an underheating condition, fog production will cease until the heating module returns to its optimal operating temperature. Additionally, a pressure relief valve safeguards against over-pressurization, ensuring safe operation.

The user-friendly design features a 4-button LCD user interface that provides easy access to controls and diagnostics. The Me8 supports three standard USITT DMX512 channels and includes XLR-5 connectors for RDM compliance, facilitating seamless integration into existing control systems. With a maximum warm-up time of only 8 minutes, the Me8 is ready for action quickly, making it ideal for fast-paced environments. The fluid consumption at maximum output (2.76 bar / 40 psi) is efficiently managed at 8 L (2.11 US gallons) per hour, while the machine's reservoir capacity is 9.5 L (2.51 US gallons), allowing for extended operation without frequent refills.

The fog produced by the MDG Me8 features a particle size of 0.5 to 0.7 microns, which contributes to excellent hanging times and clarity, enhancing the visibility of lighting and laser effects. The machine operates within a voltage range of 190 - 250 VAC, 50/60 Hz single phase, making it adaptable to various power systems. The unit measures 28.7 inches in length, 12 inches in width, and 16.3 inches in height, with a weight of 100 lbs. When shipped with its flight case, the total weight is 132 lbs. The MDG Me8 is certified by CB, CSA, and UL, and comes with a CE Declaration, ensuring compliance with international safety standards. Overall, the MDG Me8 is an outstanding choice for professionals seeking a powerful, reliable, and efficient fog generator capable of producing stunning atmospheric effects in any setting.
