Dry Ice (frozen carbon dioxide) can be used in dry ice machines to create a low-lying fog that hugs the floor. Perfect for stage effects or for the first dance at a wedding. 5kg of dry ice will provide approximately 5-6 minutes of continuous low-level heavy fog production in one of our dry ice machines.

The original dry ice machine and now industry standard, the Le Maitre Pea Souper is ruggedly constructed and portable. With straightforward operation and variable output, the Pea Souper is very convenient and capable of giving 5 minutes of continuous low-level heavy fog production. Creates a thick fog that stays close to the ground and will never rise. Gives the illusion that you are floating in the clouds! *Please note that this machine requires dry ice to create the low fog effect.
More About Dry Ice
Dry Ice Machines create a thick fog that stays close to the ground and will never rise. This gives the illusion that you are floating in the clouds!
Dry Ice can be used on stage, creating a magical effect for bands or theatrical productions, or equally can be used on the dance floor at a party. It’s especially great for first dances at weddings!
How It Works
Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. It has a surface temperature of -78.5 degrees C and has the very nice feature of sublimation – this is to say – as it breaks down, it turns directly into a gas rather than into a liquid.
A dry ice machine includes a hot water bath within an enclosed casing, with a vent at the front. There is an internal basket which holds the dry ice in pellet or slab form, and a handle on the side of the machine allows you to lower the basket into the hot water within the machine.
When the frozen dry ice meets the hot water, it sublimates and produces a carbon dioxide gas which is infused with water vapour to form a heavy low-lying fog, which is expelled from the front of the machine creating the dry ice effect.
Warning:
The very cold temperature of the dry ice makes it very dangerous if not handled properly. It must only be handled by people with prior training/ experience, and gloves must be worn at all times when working with dry ice. Additionally, the fog that is created consists mainly of Carbon Dioxide, which being heavier than air, displaces the oxygen at floor level. Therefore, use this effect only in a well ventilated area and never lie down in the fog or breathe in large amounts of the fog that is created.How to Hire from Us
