3500W Dry Ice Fog Machine(GY-D3500)
Create Stunning Low-Lying Fog Effects
Ideal for weddings, parties, and festivals, the Igracelite Dry Ice Fog Machine produces a mesmerizing ground-hugging fog that dissipates naturally. Unlike traditional fog machines, this dry ice system operates without triggering fire or smoke alarms—ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Key Features: Quick & Efficient Heating – Automatically reaches 75°C (167°F) in just 12 minutes.
Tip: Preheating time can be reduced by using hot water.
High-Capacity Performance – Holds up to 3kg (6.61 lbs) of dry ice per load, generating up to 25,000 cubic feet of fog per minute.
Wide Coverage – Creates an immersive atmosphere for spaces ranging from 50–100 sqm (540–1,075 sq ft).
Easy Operation – Simply fill with water up to the float level for optimal performance.
Note: For best results, ensure water is filled to the float marker. The machine will not activate if water levels are insufficient.
What is the difference between fog machines, smoke machines and dry ice fog machines?
● Smell:
Traditional fog machines and smoke machines often produce a noticeable odor due to the fluids they use. In contrast, dry ice fog machines use solid CO₂, which is odorless—making them ideal for events where smell could be an issue.
● Dissipation Time:
Fog and smoke machines typically create effects that linger in the air for a longer period. Dry ice fog, however, consists of condensed water vapor cooled by dry ice, resulting in a dense low-lying fog that dissipates much more quickly—creating a dramatic but short-lived effect.
● Consumable Safety:
Oil-based fog fluids can be irritating to some people.
Water-based fluids are generally milder.
Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is non-toxic and non-irritating, though it must be handled with care due to its extremely low temperature.
● Cost & Return on Investment:
The initial price of each machine type varies based on power and design. When it comes to ongoing consumable costs:
Standard fog fluid (smoke oil) is relatively affordable.
Water-based mist fluids tend to be mid-range in price.
Dry ice is generally the most expensive option due to specialized storage and transportation needs. Important note: Dry ice cannot be stored in a regular freezer. It requires insulated containers and proper ventilation to maintain its properties and ensure safe handling.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pounds of dry ice do I need for fog?
The amount of dry ice needed for fog depends on the size of the Dry Ice Fog Machine and the desired fog density. As a general guideline, around 3kg/6.61lb of dry ice can produce fog for about 7 to 10 minutes.
What is the best container for dry ice fog?
The best container for dry ice fog is a well-insulated container, such as a Styrofoam cooler or an insulated fog cooler. These containers help to keep the dry ice from sublimating too quickly, allowing for a more extended fog effect. It's vital to ensure the container is securely sealed to prevent fog leakage. Dry ice cannot be stored in the freezer and is risky.
How do you make fog smoke out of dry ice?
Place the dry ice in a container with hot water to make fog smoke out of dry ice. As the hot water interacts with the dry ice, it will create fog smoke that flows out of the container. This effect is commonly used in stage productions, haunted houses, and special events to create an eerie atmosphere. Igracelite 3500W dry ice fog machine can meet all your requirements.
Is dry ice better than a fog machine?
Both dry ice and fog machines have their advantages and are suitable for different purposes. Dry ice is excellent for creating a low-lying, dense fog that stays close to the ground. On the other hand, fog machines can produce fog continuously with varying densities. The smoke from the dry ice machine has no smell, while the smoke from the smoke machine has a slight smell.
Will dry ice fog set off smoke detectors?
Yes, dry ice fog can potentially set off smoke detectors if it directly reaches the sensors. Generally, the installation of fire alarm devices will be relatively high, but dry ice fog will stay in relatively low-lying places continuously, so generally it will not trigger the alarm.
Is it safe to touch dry ice smoke?
It is safe to be exposed to dry ice fog. Igracelite 3000W and 6000W Dry ice fog machines sell about 450 units per year. But it is not safe to touch dry ice directly with bare hands. Dry ice is extremely cold, approximately -109.3°F (-78.5°C), and contact may cause frostbite or burns. Always use insulated gloves or tongs to handle dry ice to avoid injury.
Is a dry ice fog machine safe indoors?
Yes, fog machines are generally safe to use indoors when proper safety precautions are followed. It's essential to use high-quality, non-toxic fog fluid and monitor the fog density to maintain a safe environment. Igracelite 3000w/6000w dry ice fog machine sells 450 units per year, and they are all used indoors.
How long does dry ice last in a dry ice fog machine?
The duration of dry ice in a dry ice fog machine depends on the size and capacity of the machine, as well as the ambient temperature and humidity. Generally, a dry ice fog machine can produce a few to ten minutes of fog with a tank filled with dry ice. Regular replenishment of dry ice will ensure a consistent fog effect throughout the event.
