What are CO2 machines and guns?

These are devices that emit bursts of carbon dioxide gas at high pressure, creating columns of white vapor that quickly disappear into the air. This effect is very popular in nightclubs, concerts, and sporting events due to its ability to capture the audience's attention and create an electrifying atmosphere.

How CO2 machines work

The CO2 used in these machines is stored in high-pressure tanks. When the trigger on the CO2 party gun is pulled, the gas is rapidly released, producing a visible white mist or plume. This effect is not only visually stunning but also safe, as the gas disperses quickly without causing respiratory discomfort.

Advantages of using CO2 at events

    Striking visual effect: White smoke plumes are a stunning visual device that adds drama to key moments in any show.

    Generates no residue: Unlike other effects such as fireworks or confetti, CO2 leaves no residue and is safe for indoor and outdoor spaces.

    Interactivity: CO2 guns allow artists or animation staff to interact directly with the audience, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.

    Adaptable to different types of events: From large concerts to private parties, these machines adapt to events of any size.

Types of CO2 machines for events

There are different models of CO2 machines on the market, each with specific features that adapt to the needs of each type of event.

Fixed CO2 machines

These machines are usually installed in strategic locations on the stage or throughout the event space. They are remotely controlled and allow the CO2 bursts to be coordinated with the music or light show, creating a high-impact synchronized effect.

Portable CO2 Pistols

Ideal for DJs, entertainers, and stage crew, portable CO2 guns allow for greater mobility and freedom to interact directly with the audience. These guns are lightweight and easy to handle, perfect for adding a personal and fun touch to your event.
