A haze machine with remote control

Haze machines, or haze generators (commonly referred to as hazers), are effects machines similar to fog machines, designed to produce unobtrusive, homogeneous clouds suspended in the air intended primarily to make light beams visible or create a subtle diffusion.

Properties

[edit]
Haze can reveal beams of light from stage lighting instruments without obscuring the view of actors onstage.

Unlike theatrical fog, which is typically intended to be dense and/or opaque, haze is generally very light and subtle. These properties allow a venue to be filled with haze prior to or during an event without creating an overtly distracting cloud. Haze typically has a substantially longer persistence ("hang time") than conventional theatrical fog. While conventional fog will hang in the air for several minutes, a haze effect filling the same volume of space can last upwards of an hour to several hours or more, depending on the size of the venue and the amount of ventilation.

The fluid used in haze machines to generate the effects are either oil or water-based. Most oil-based haze fluids use a mineral oil base, while water-based fluids use either a propylene glycol or glycerol base. Although both formulations of fluid are referred to as haze fluid, the different formulations are neither compatible nor interchangeable. Propylene glycol/water haze fluid is sometimes referred to as "water based haze" to avoid ambiguity. Describing the fluid as "glycol" might cause stagehands to use automotive antifreeze, which contains ethylene glycol,[1] and unlike propylene glycol, must not be used for this purpose because of its toxicity.

Technology

[edit]

Crackers

[edit]

Crackers (also known as "oil crackers") were first developed in the 1960s. The fluid is usually, though not always, refined mineral oil. Crackers work by use of a spray pump powered either by electricity or compressed CO2 passing through a dispersion head into a fluid reservoir. The compressed air aerosols the fluid, dispersing fine droplets. Because the haze is mechanically generated, this type of machine does not require any warm up time.

Pump spray

[edit]

Pump spray haze machines use electricity or compressed CO2 to power a spray pump connected to a mixing valve, which draws in and atomizes the fluid.

Pump hazers also includes machines which function in the same manner as a fog machine, pumping fluid into a heated chamber where it is vapourized to produce a cloud. Hazers which heat fluid to create an atmospheric effect only use mixtures of water and glycol or glycerine. Spray hazers which atomize fluid can use either a water-based or mineral oil fluid.

Aerosol

[edit]

Smaller volumes of haze can also be generated from aerosol canisters containing mineral oil under pressure. Although to the density of haze generated and the volume of space that can be filled is significantly smaller than that of a haze machine, aerosol canisters have the advantages of portability, no requirements for electricity and finer control over the volume of haze generated.

Ultrasonic

[edit]

Ultrasonic haze machines use transducers submerged in a reservoir of fluid to create atmospheric effects. Although less common than some of the other technologies used to produce haze, ultrasonic hazers are promoted as generating their effects with much less noise than other technologies.

Faze machines

[edit]

Faze machines, or fazers, can also be used to produce a haze-like effect. These machines are typically fog machines with a fan built in front to disperse the output, creating a haze-like effect. These machines are typically considered more cost effective, with prices ranging from US$100–400 as compared to haze machines with prices ranging from US$400–1,400.

Fire detection

[edit]

Although the atmospheric effect created by hazers produces a significantly smaller particle size, around one micrometre (um), compared to the effect generated by a fog machine (hence the finer composition of the "cloud"), the size of particle and effect varies by manufactures and type of fluid used. Because of this, haze is far less likely to set off fire alarms than fog machines or larger smoke particles.

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
A haze machine, also known as a haze generator, is a special effects device used in entertainment and live events to produce a fine, translucent mist that disperses evenly throughout a space, creating a subtle atmospheric layer without dense clouds. Unlike traditional fog or smoke machines, which generate thicker, short-lived bursts for dramatic impact, haze machines atomize oil- or water-based fluids into tiny particles that remain suspended in the air for longer durations, providing a continuous and unobtrusive effect. This design allows haze to enhance visibility of light beams, lasers, and spotlights by scattering light, resulting in a soft glow that highlights performers and stage elements without overwhelming the audience's view. Haze machines operate by forcing fluid through a or atomization system to vaporize it into microscopic droplets, typically requiring less fluid and energy than machines while producing minimal residue and noise. They are widely utilized in professional settings such as concerts, theatrical productions, nightclubs, corporate events, and exhibitions to foster immersive environments that elevate designs and overall production quality. Common brands include Antari, Chauvet, and High End Systems, with models varying in output capacity to suit venue sizes from small stages to large arenas. Due to their finer mist, haze machines may trigger certain systems, necessitating hybrid detectors or isolated use in facilities like hotels and centers.

Introduction and Overview

Definition and Purpose

A haze machine is an atmospheric effects device designed to produce a thin, fine of airborne particles, creating a subtle, homogeneous that enhances and without significantly obscuring visibility. Unlike denser effects, this mist consists of smaller particles that remain suspended in the air for longer durations, providing an even atmospheric layer ideal for professional applications. The primary purpose of a haze machine is to improve the visibility of beams, such as those from lasers, spotlights, or moving heads, by offering a medium for and reflection, thereby accentuating in settings like concerts, theaters, and nightclubs. It simulates atmospheric conditions such as mist or while avoiding heavy ground-level buildup, allowing performers and audiences to maintain clear sightlines. Haze machines emerged in the early as a technological refinement over traditional machines, initially utilizing oil-based fluids to generate more persistent and finer aerosols for theatrical and use. Developed by companies like Le Maitre, these devices addressed the need for subtler effects in growing live production industries, evolving from earlier glycol-based systems introduced in the . At a basic level, haze machines operate by heating or atomizing a specialized haze fluid—typically - or glycol-based—to vaporize it into tiny droplets that are then dispersed continuously via a fan or low-pressure , resulting in a lingering vapor that hangs in the air for extended periods. This process ensures a steady output of fine particles, often 0.5 to 5 microns in size, which differ from the larger droplets produced by machines and contribute to the haze's prolonged suspension.

Distinction from Fog Machines

Haze machines and fog machines are both used to create atmospheric effects in entertainment and performance settings, but they differ significantly in the size and behavior of their particulate output. Haze machines generate ultra-fine aerosol particles typically ranging from 0.5 to 5 microns in diameter, which remain suspended in the air for extended periods and disperse evenly without rapid settling. In contrast, fog machines produce larger droplets, generally ranging from 1 to 60 microns, that fall more quickly due to gravity and accumulate to form dense, visible clouds. These particulate differences result in contrasting visual effects that suit distinct artistic purposes. The fine particles from haze machines create a subtle, translucent that enhances light beams, lasers, and by light evenly while preserving overall visibility and avoiding obstruction. Conversely, the coarser droplets from fog machines yield thick, opaque banks of that evoke dramatic, immersive atmospheres, such as ground-level shrouds, but they obscure sightlines and are less effective for highlighting precise elements. Usage scenarios further underscore these distinctions, with haze machines favored for continuous, low-density applications in indoor venues like theaters and nightclubs to maintain a lingering, ambient glow throughout performances. Fog machines, by comparison, are employed for intermittent, high-impact bursts in environments such as haunted attractions or outdoor events, where short-lived, heavy provides immediate dramatic tension. This separation emerged prominently in the , when haze machines were innovated to overcome fog machines' drawbacks in professional , including excessive residue and inconsistent dispersion that hindered clean, sustained beam visibility. Pioneering models, such as Le Maitre's G300, emphasized low-residue fluids and finer outputs to better support evolving theatrical and concert lighting needs.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Particle Characteristics

Haze particles, generated by specialized machines, typically range in size from 0.5 to 5 micrometers in , with many under 2.5 micrometers and often less than 1 micrometer for optimal atmospheric effects. This submicron to low-micrometer scale enables prolonged suspension in air currents, minimizing rapid settling and allowing even distribution without visible ground deposition. The density of haze particles in operational environments is low, typically around 1-10 mg/m³, which facilitates uniform dispersion over large volumes without inducing turbulence or clumping. Mean concentrations during theatrical use often fall near 0.7 mg/m³, ensuring subtle atmospheric layering rather than dense clouds. These fine particles exhibit extended settling times, remaining airborne for 30 minutes to several hours, influenced by factors such as ambient air currents, humidity, and fluid composition. Oil-based haze variants can achieve hang times of 3-4 hours in enclosed spaces, while water-based options may persist for 1-1.5 hours, providing sustained visibility enhancement. In terms of light interaction, haze particles operate within the Mie scattering regime, where their diameters—comparable to visible light wavelengths (0.4-0.7 micrometers)—efficiently scatter incident across the spectrum, creating pronounced beam visibility and volumetric effects without significant obstruction. This scattering enhances the perception of rays in entertainment settings, distinguishing haze from denser particles that primarily absorb or forward-scatter.

Fluid Composition and Effects

Haze machine fluids are primarily composed of glycol-based or water-based formulations, with the most common bases being monopropylene glycol (CAS 57-55-6), (CAS 112-27-6), or (CAS 111-46-6), often mixed with deionized water to achieve the desired and properties. These glycols are selected for their ability to produce fine, persistent aerosols when vaporized, adhering to standards that permit only dihydric or trihydric alcohols without additional contaminants. Water-based variants incorporate higher proportions of deionized water alongside glycols, resulting in quicker dispersion but reduced longevity compared to pure glycol mixtures. Glycol-based fluids exhibit longer hang times in the atmosphere due to their lower rates relative to , allowing particles to remain suspended for extended periods and enhance light effects. Variations in fluid density are achieved through adjustments in glycol concentration and molecular weight; high-density formulations, such as those with higher content, create heavier haze for more pronounced atmospheric layering, while ultra-fine options using lighter blends produce subtler, evenly distributed mist. Additives like fragrances can be incorporated for sensory enhancement in specific applications, though standard compositions prohibit scents, colorants, or bactericides to maintain purity. Mineral oil-based fluids, used in certain haze machines such as cracker or pump systems, consist of pharmaceutical-grade (CAS 8042-47-5). These fluids are atomized without heating to generate very fine aerosols with exceptionally long persistence due to minimal , often achieving hang times of several hours. However, they can deposit an oily residue on surfaces and equipment, requiring regular cleaning. Safety guidelines for mineral oil aerosols recommend peak concentrations not exceeding 25 mg/m³ over 15 minutes and an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 5 mg/m³. Upon evaporation, these fluids release non-toxic vapors consisting primarily of water and glycol molecules, which dissipate harmlessly in ventilated spaces when used within exposure guidelines. However, glycol-based fluids may deposit a slight oily residue on surfaces over time due to incomplete evaporation of larger droplets, potentially requiring periodic cleaning in high-use environments. Water-based formulations minimize this residue by promoting faster evaporation but consequently shorten the haze duration. Compliance with ANSI E1.5 ensures fluid safety in entertainment venues, specifying that approved glycols must meet purity standards and maintain flash points above 93°C—typically 104°C for and 165°C for —to mitigate fire risks during operation. These fluids generally yield particles in the 0.2–5 micron range, contributing to the fine, non-obtrusive nature of haze effects.

Generation Technologies

Chemical Cracker Systems

Oil cracker systems, also known as compression-based generators, produce haze by pumping through a high-pressure using an , creating a fine mist without the need for heating. This mechanical process atomizes the oil into particles typically 0.5-1 micron in size, which remain suspended in the air for extended periods to enhance effects. These systems rely on a of white and an electric or to force the fluid through fine nozzles, resulting in a dry, even haze suitable for continuous operation in venues. These machines offer advantages in quick startup with no warmup time and low , making them ideal for environments where heat could damage equipment or fluids might leave residue. Historically, crackers were among the first dedicated haze technologies, predating heated fluid systems, and are still used for their simplicity and compatibility with oil-based additives that produce long-lasting atmospheric layers. Output is consistent and adjustable via pump speed, providing subtle to moderate haze density without excessive moisture or rapid dissipation. Limitations include potential oil residue on surfaces and equipment over time, as well as incompatibility with water-based fluids that could damage the . While effective, modern variants incorporate filters to minimize airborne oil particulates, and proper ventilation is recommended to manage any buildup.

Pump Spray Mechanisms

Pump spray mechanisms in haze machines rely on mechanical pumps to propel fluid through nozzles, achieving atomization via to generate a fine, airborne mist suitable for atmospheric effects. These systems typically use electric-powered pumps, such as oscillating or peristaltic types, which draw fluid from a and force it under pressure into a heating chamber or directly through spray nozzles for dispersion. Often, integrated heating elements vaporize the fluid post-atomization, enhancing particle suspension and longevity in the air; for instance, the JEM Hazer Pro employs a 600W that reaches operating temperature in 6-8 minutes after the oscillating initiates fluid delivery. Key components include the pump itself—commonly a peristaltic model for precise, clog-resistant flow or a diaphragm variant for durability—along with fluid tubes, filters, and quick-connect fittings to a 2-5 liter . Output rates are adjustable, with machines like the Unique 2.1 enabling independent control in 99 incremental steps for varied intensity. Fluid consumption remains efficient at 1-5 ml per minute during continuous operation, supporting extended use without frequent refills, as demonstrated by the JEM Hazer Pro's 10.5-65 hours per 2.5L tank depending on settings. Advancements in the focused on reducing operational noise and enhancing control, with models like the Look Solutions Unique 2.1 introducing quieter s and seamless DMX integration for remote adjustment of output from light to heavy coverage. These improvements allowed for finer tuning of haze levels, from subtle atmospheric enhancement to denser effects, while maintaining compatibility with water-based fluids to avoid degradation. metrics emphasize , with adjustable across a to suit applications, ensuring even distribution without excessive residue buildup.

Aerosol and Ultrasonic Methods

Aerosol methods for haze production rely on pressurized cans containing pre-mixed fluid, which is released as a fine spray upon activation. These systems atomize the fluid through the expansion of propellant gases, creating a dispersed mist suitable for small-scale applications such as photography shoots or temporary atmospheric enhancements. The portability of aerosol cans allows for immediate deployment in non-powered environments, eliminating the need for electrical outlets or setup time. A standard 8-ounce can typically delivers multiple 20-second bursts, generating haze that persists for several minutes per application, providing an effective duration of 10-30 minutes depending on ventilation and room size. Ultrasonic methods employ piezoelectric transducers to generate high-frequency vibrations that nebulize the into without applying . These transducers oscillate at frequencies ranging from 1.6 to 2.4 MHz, causing the surface to break into micron-sized droplets through instability. This physical dispersion process avoids chemical reactions or mechanical pumps, resulting in a consistent, fine that hangs in the air for extended periods. The absence of preserves the fluid's properties and reduces operational hazards in sensitive settings. Key advantages of ultrasonic systems include silent operation due to the lack of fans or compressors and no , which minimizes and noise interference during performances. Aerosol approaches complement this by enabling rapid, battery-free setup in remote or outdoor locations where power is unavailable. Post-2010 developments in piezoelectric technology have enhanced energy efficiency in ultrasonic generators, with optimized designs reducing power consumption to under 50 watts for compact units while maintaining output. Both techniques yield particle sizes in the 1-5 micron range, ensuring the remains suspended and evenly distributed for atmospheric effects.

Specialized Variants like Faze Machines

Faze machines represent a hybrid category of atmospheric effects devices that bridge traditional and generation technologies. These systems typically employ fluid injection into a heated chamber to vaporize - or glycol-based liquids, followed by high-velocity fans or internal air pumps to atomize and disperse the output into an ultra-fine mist that is denser than standard but lighter and more evenly distributed than conventional . This allows for rapid production of atmospheric effects suitable for dynamic environments, such as concert tours, where quick setup and dissipation are essential. The term "faze" was originally coined by Antari Lighting and Effects, a manufacturer established in , to describe their innovative machines that mimic compressor-based dispersion using fluids. Key to faze machines' performance is their dual-stage atomization process, which often incorporates an air pump to refine particle sizes to approximately 1-5 microns, enabling the to linger longer than while providing enhanced visibility for beams in high-movement settings like live performances. This results in a fast-dissipating ideal for touring applications, with warm-up times as short as 40-70 seconds in modern models, minimizing downtime during events. For instance, the ADJ Entour Faze, introduced in 2018, utilizes patent-pending rapid heater technology and standard water-based to produce a thin, even with reduced residue buildup, making it popular for professional use. Similarly, Antari's F-7 Smaze hybrid, a touring-grade unit with a 1,650W heater and adjustable fan speeds, outputs haze at 28 ml/min in faze mode, supporting arena-scale effects via control. Beyond core faze designs, specialized variants include LED-integrated units that combine haze generation with colored for enhanced . These hybrids, such as certain Chauvet DJ models from the mid-2010s onward, incorporate RGB or RGBA LEDs to illuminate the , creating dynamic, multi-colored atmospheric patterns without additional fixtures. Modular configurations further innovate by offering customizable control, as seen in systems like the Look Solutions Unique 2.1, which features a Haze-Density Control System (HDCS) for precise adjustment of output via or onboard interfaces, allowing operators to tailor intensity to specific venue or performance needs. While less common, some niche hybrids integrate confetti launchers with haze output for combined particle and visual bursts, though these remain specialized for event production rather than standard touring. These variants build briefly on or ultrasonic bases but emphasize hybrid efficiency and reduced environmental impact through water-based fluids.

Applications and Uses

Entertainment and Stage Effects

Haze machines are widely employed in to produce a fine, lingering that scatters light beams, making them visible and adding depth to without overwhelming the scene. This subtle atmospheric enhancement has become a staple in live performances and productions, allowing designers to create immersive environments that complement and projections. In stage and theater applications, haze machines enhance gobos, moving lights, and projections by light to reveal patterns and beams that would otherwise be invisible in clear air. They have been standard in Broadway productions, where fine particle sizes enable precise control for dramatic reveals and atmospheric immersion, as seen in the 2019 revival of Beetlejuice, which used Look Solutions hazers to layer eerie fog with green and purple lighting for undead realms and ghostly entrances. These machines allow for tailored density to support narrative elements, such as simulating otherworldly spaces while maintaining actor visibility. For concerts and clubs, haze machines create immersive atmospheres during DJ sets and rock shows by filling venues with a light mist that accentuates moving heads and lasers, transforming flat lighting into dynamic, three-dimensional displays. control enables timed bursts synced to music, ensuring haze output aligns with beats or light cues for heightened , as in large-scale events where water-based hazers like the Chauvet DJ Hurricane series provide continuous, adjustable output without residue. In film and television, haze machines provide subtle backgrounds for genres like sci-fi and horror, scattering to achieve realistic depth without contaminating sets, and have been used in productions for atmospheric effects on soundstages. For instance, rigs employing hazers simulate foggy alien environments or tense interiors, allowing cinematographers to capture volumetric god rays with narrow-beam lights like HMIs for a cinematic quality. Integration techniques often involve layering haze with lasers or strobes to produce , where fine particles refract beams into tangible, glowing paths that add spatial drama to performances. Software ties haze output to music or cues, enabling effects like pulsing with strobe flashes for intensified immersion in live events. This approach leverages the small particle size of haze fluids to ensure even dispersion and quick dissipation, optimizing visibility for audience engagement.

Architectural and Ambient Atmospheres

In architectural and ambient atmospheres, haze machines are employed in fixed installations to create subtle, persistent atmospheric effects that enhance spatial perception without the intensity required for live performances. These systems produce fine particles that diffuse , simulating natural mists or s to foster immersion and aesthetic appeal in non-transient environments. In museums and galleries, haze machines simulate natural to complement art installations, particularly in immersive exhibits since the early 2000s. For instance, Olafur Eliasson's The Weather Project (2003) at utilized multiple haze machines to generate artificial in the Turbine Hall, interacting with mono-frequency lights and mirrors to evoke a vast indoor sunset and encourage visitors to engage with the space as an extension of the artwork. Similarly, Jónsi's FLÓÐ exhibition (2023) at the National Nordic Museum in incorporated haze machines to produce periods of low visibility, enhancing the multisensory flood-themed installation with ethereal, diffused lighting effects. Hotels and atriums leverage haze machines to cultivate luxurious atmospheres through diffused lighting in lobbies and open spaces, often via automated systems designed for continuous low-level output. These installations add elegance and mood, softening harsh light sources and creating a sense of depth and tranquility in high-traffic areas. Manufacturers like Antari note that such systems are tailored for hotel lobbies and ballrooms, where fine haze particles maintain a subtle that elevates the overall ambiance without overwhelming occupants. Theme parks utilize haze machines to heighten immersion in rides and walkthroughs, such as jungle mist effects that transport guests into exotic environments. At in , MDG haze generators have been integrated into attractions like the Snow White exhibit to produce lingering atmospheric layers that interact with scenic lighting, reinforcing narrative depth. This approach mirrors broader applications in parks like and , where haze enhances walkthrough experiences by mimicking natural fog in themed landscapes. Technical setups for large-scale ambient applications often involve HVAC-integrated dispersion to ensure even coverage across expansive areas. Permanent systems, such as MDG's Auto Refill haze generator installed at indigo at in , automate fluid replenishment and low-output operation for consistent atmospheric enhancement in venues up to several thousand square feet, distributing haze via built-in fans or ductwork connections for uniform diffusion. For long-duration ambient use, oil-based fluids are preferred in these setups due to their stability and longer suspension time, though glycol alternatives generally produce less residue.

Safety and Operational Considerations

Fire Detection Challenges

Haze machines generate fine particles, typically ranging from 0.2 to 1 micron in diameter, that closely resemble particulates and thus interfere with standard systems. In photoelectric detectors, these particles scatter the internal , diminishing the amount of light reaching the photocell and thereby initiating an . detectors are similarly affected, as the haze particles attach to airborne ions created by the radioactive source, reducing electrical current flow and triggering activation. This similarity in particle behavior leads to frequent false positives in environments where haze is deployed for atmospheric enhancement. The fine of contributes to detection confusion, as it falls within the range that smoke detectors are calibrated to identify as potential indicators. In venues, such interference commonly results in false alarms during shows. Haze densities sufficient for visible effects often surpass the sensitivity thresholds of conventional point-type detectors, particularly in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Mitigation strategies focus on deploying detection technologies less responsive to dispersed aerosols. Aspirating systems, which sample air through pipes for centralized , reduce false activations from uniform haze distributions while maintaining early fire warning capabilities. Pre-event desensitization protocols, such as temporarily adjusting or disabling sensitive detectors with fire official oversight, enable safe use during performances without compromising overall safety. NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, outlines requirements for venues, allowing deactivation of smoke detectors during events if alternative monitoring—such as on-site fire personnel—ensures equivalent protection against real hazards. These guidelines emphasize systems designed to accommodate theatrical aerosols, promoting compatibility in high-use scenarios like stages and auditoriums.

Health and Environmental Risks

Inhalation of vapors from glycol-based haze machines can lead to acute health effects, including eye and throat irritation, dry mouth, cough, and upper airway symptoms, particularly at high concentrations exceeding recommended exposure limits such as the AIHA Workplace Environmental Exposure Level (WEEL) of 10 mg/m³ averaged over an 8-hour shift. Long-term low-level exposure has been associated with chronic respiratory issues, such as wheezing, chest tightness, and increased sensitivity in performers and crew, based on studies of entertainment industry workers exposed to glycol fogs over two years. These effects primarily stem from the irritative properties of propylene glycol and triethylene glycol, common components in haze fluids that can dry mucous membranes upon repeated inhalation. Environmentally, glycol-based haze fluids contribute to indoor air pollution by generating ultra-fine particulate matter and releasing carbonyl compounds like through oxidative decomposition, which can persist and degrade air quality in enclosed venues. These fluids biodegrade readily in aquatic systems, though improper disposal of large quantities can lead to temporary oxygen depletion and stress; their primary impact in theatrical use is as persistent indoor aerosols rather than outdoor contaminants. Operational guidelines emphasize maintaining exposure below the AIHA WEEL of 10 mg/m³ for , as OSHA has not established a specific (PEL) but recommends controls under general standards for airborne particulates. Venues using haze machines should ensure adequate general ventilation, such as increased fresh air exchange rates, to disperse aerosols and prevent accumulation, alongside local exhaust systems near machines during operation. Research from the 2020s confirms minimal for in applications, with no classification as a and low profiles in occupational settings, though may produce irritants warranting caution. Studies advise use of NIOSH-approved respirators with full facepieces for technicians during machine setup and high-output periods to mitigate peak exposures.
