Collection: Stage Fans & Wind Machines

When using a fan to assist with smoke coverage and dispersion it is always recommended to place the fan behind the smoke machine with the air blowing over the machine and not to push smoke through the fan.

With a fan in front of a smoke machine you will reduce the lifespan of the fan and possibly cause premature failure and damage to the fan motor due to condensation of the smoke on the fan surfaces/motor.

Stage fans are designed to create a focused, laminar-style column of air. This allows them to push a plume of smoke or haze across a stage (20-30 meters) while keeping the effect intact, unlike regular cooling fans with a widespread airflow designed to cool a large area, causing scattering and washing out of atmospheric effects.

The addition of a stage fan to your atmospheric system allows much greater control of dispersion, directing effects to a particular area or aiding with evenly filling a space.

They can also be used as wind machines, for example at themed attractions to create wind effects on rides, or for directly cooling performers on stage or during filming without affecting the rest of the set.
