Smoke Factory Captain D - 1300W Water-Based Fog Machine with Control Panel and DMX in Black Finish

The Smoke Factory Captain D is a robust 1300W water-based fog machine that delivers outstanding performance, making it equally suited for the high-energy environments of live concerts and theatrical performances, as well as for trade shows and other large-scale events. Designed to meet the demands of professional lighting and effects designers, the Captain D is capable of producing high-quality fog with exceptional output, making it a popular choice on stages and venues worldwide. The efficient 1300W fog power allows it to cover typical stage sizes with ease, providing the perfect atmosphere for light shows, performances, and special effects.

One of the key features of the Captain D is its incredibly efficient handling of energy, producing a significantly higher fog output compared to many comparable devices on the market. The fog emission is fully adjustable in 99 steps, allowing for precise control over the intensity of the fog, with increments as small as 1%. This makes the Captain D ideal for creating everything from light haze to thick, dramatic fog. At 100% output, the Captain D produces fog for approximately 40 seconds, with the ability to provide continuous fog at settings below 50% output, making it versatile for different event needs.

The Captain D is equipped with multiple control options, including DMX512 for remote control via lighting desks, an analog 0-10V connection, or stand-alone operation. The integrated timer allows for flexible control in stand-alone mode, where the fogging process begins at the push of a button, and continues until the desired fog density is reached. With the built-in microprocessor, the Captain D maintains precise temperature control to ensure the fog is consistently produced at the correct evaporation temperature, preventing overheating and "spitting" of unevaporated fluid. This reliable temperature regulation helps ensure that only clean, fully evaporated fog is produced, avoiding the common issues found in many less efficient fog machines.

In terms of fluid handling, the Captain D features a quick-release system for changing the fluid canister quickly and easily, minimizing downtime between shows. The machine is designed to work with Smoke Factory's high-quality fog fluids, and when used with these fluids, the Captain D is backed by a 3-year warranty. The 5-liter fluid capacity ensures that the machine can run for extended periods without needing a refill, while its efficient consumption rate of 120 ml/min at maximum output and 35 ml/min on continuous fog makes it a cost-effective solution for long events. Its heat-up time is approximately 7 minutes, ensuring that it's ready to use quickly for a fast-paced performance or show.

The Captain D's durable construction, combined with its quiet operation and dependable performance, makes it an ideal choice for touring, installations, or as a permanent fixture in any venue. With the added reliability of overheating protection, the Captain D ensures safe operation in all environments. As with all Smoke Factory products, the Captain D is proudly made in Germany, with high-quality components designed for professional use in demanding settings.
