ENTOUR ICE

The ADJ Entour Ice is a tour-grade low-lying fog machine that uses dry ice and water to create a thick cloud that stays close to the floor. It ships in a road case with heavy-duty casters, so the machine rolls from truck to stage without a separate case to manage.

Output is substantial: 550 square meters (5,920 square feet) of fog coverage from a dual element heating system running 2 x 1,450W at 120V, with a 4-section electronic temperature control system managing water temperature. The water tank holds 8.5 gallons (32 liters) and the motorized dry ice basket takes 26.5 lb (12 kg) of ice, dropping into the water on cue. Average run time is 5 minutes per cycle, and the cooler box holds ice for 10 hours.

Control comes three ways: built-in timer, manual operation, or DMX in 1, 2, or 6 channel modes through 3-pin and 5-pin connections. An on-board LED display with 6-button control handles setup. A water level sensor shuts the pump off automatically when the water drops too low, and a recessed drain valve at the lower front of the case makes emptying straightforward.

Initial heat time is 90 minutes at 120V, so this is a machine you power up during load-in, not five minutes before doors. Two power locking sockets feed the dual heating elements, drawing 3,000W at full output.

Stages, theatres, houses of worship, nightclubs, concert venues, and event productions use the Entour Ice when the ground fog needs to be dense and stay down.
