MDG Haze
For creating a long lasting haze to enhance your lighting effects, the ATMOSPHERE APS range is the ultimate in silence and efficiency. The ATMOSPHERE APS system uses CO2 as a propellant, which creates the smallest possible particles (between 0.5 and 0.7 microns in diameter).

The smaller particles also reduce the amount of fluid consumed and create haze with the longest hanging time available. Super-quiet operation means that no one in the audience will even know that it is operating. These are the reasons that ATMOSPHERE APS haze generators are used on the majority of both Broadway and West End productions.

MDG's Automatic Purging System (APS) ensures reliability by purging fluid from the system both before and after every active cycle. This standard feature on all ATMOSPHERE APS haze generators cleans the atomizer mechanism to keep it free from fluid that might otherwise clog the system while the unit is idle or in storage.

Adjusting of the flow of CO2 propellant regulates the density of haze produced.

This short video will give you a quick overview of the Atmosphere APS and some of its functionality.

Neutral Fog Fluid


MDG Fog
The MAXAPS range of fog generators produce the finest fog obtainable, with the longest hang time and the lowest fluid consumption. The MAX APS system uses CO2 as a propellant, which creates the smallest possible particles (between 0.5 and 0.7 microns in diameter). The smaller particles also reduce the amount of fluid consumed.

Adjusting of the flow of CO2 propellant regulates the volume of fog produced. All MAX APS units may be run continuously to maintain a constant amount of fog output. With their ultra-quiet noise emission levels, the MAXAPS range will produce fog non-stop without compromising the quiet ambience of your show.

MDG's Automatic Purging System (APS) ensures reliability by purging fluid from the system both before and after every active cycle. This standard feature on all MAX APS fog generators cleans the atomizer mechanism to keep it free from fluid that might otherwise clog the system while the unit is idle or in storage.


theONE


The new MDG ONE (tm) is a revolutionary, fully digital, dual mode fog/haze atmospheric generator. For the first time, this completely self-contained package – consumables included - offers sophisticated control over atmospheric effects from a single source. Its simple and efficient multi-level user interface, accessible from the backlit LCD panel, allows for a gradual switch between either mode seamlessly using various networking protocols.

Each parameter is set into specific presets, but can be accessed and redefined by advanced users. The networking capability of the MDG theONE(tm) allows the user to install the generator as part of an existing ACN network. Automatically refilling from an external 20 l (5.3 US gal) fluid container and with the two interconnected 9kg (20 lb) CO2 or N2 gas bottles, theONE(tm) was especially designed to give a maximum of consecutive, non-stop hours of fog/haze without service.

With the generator and its accessories sitting in separate cradles in the standard rolling rack, for easier storage and transportation, the sturdy aluminium rack provides several rigging options for maximum freedom, making the MDG theONE(tm) especially fit for ready-to-go worldwide touring conditions. In a word, like in a thousand – theONE(tm) and only atmospheric generator you’l ever need.

M4c - Portable Weatherproof Fog Generator


The new MDG M4(tm) is a powerful fog generator built inside a standard weatherproofed, ventilated enclosure, the true choice of professionals when the application requires some protection from the elements without compromising on fog quality and density.

The M4c(tm) is a powerful tool generating up to 170 m3 (6000 ft3) of thick, pure white fog per minute, continuously, and right upon command (DMX).

Enclosed in a standard 1510 Pelican(tm) Case, the M4c(tm) will resist to water splashes and sustained rain, as well as wet locations and humid environments. The built-in wheels, retractable and top handles make this fog generator perfect for quickly relocating. Both the fluid and gas entry are fitted with Quick DisConnect® connectors for rapid set-up. The M4c(tm) also has inner level detectors which shut down the generator if tilted more than 15 degrees from its upright position. Available in 115V or 230 VAC, 50/60Hz.

Low Fog Fluid


MDG Low Fog
The ICE FOG range of low fog generators produces a large volume of cool fog for the effects that require a low-lying fog. The high output can be sustained continuously, producing a constant volume of very dry and dense white low-lying fog. Both models use MDG Low Fog Fluid, a glycol-based fluid. All ICE FOG low fog generators come with a two-year warranty.

Adjusting of the flow of liquid CO2 coolant/propellant regulates the volume of fog produced. All ICE FOG units may be run at 100% duty continuously to maintain a constant amount of fog output. Each ICE FOG low fog generator is built into a self-contained rolling road case that can be closed while the unit is operating, which further reduces its already-quiet noise emission level.

ICE FOG low fog generators are designed specifically to produce a high volume of fog non-stop without compromising the quiet ambience of your show.


Ice Fog Q Low Fog Generator

The ICE FOG Q is the premier product in the MDG range of low fog generators. The ICE FOG Q connects to a high-capacity refrigerated liquid CO2 Dewar cylinder and a single 208VAC circuit. The ICE FOG Q has three times the output capacity of its smaller sibling, but is still extremely quiet in operation.

The ICE FOG Q includes an onboard/remote controller, a 26' XLR5 extension cable for the remote, and an 8' long x 9" diameter Output Fog Hose, and a 10') Input low pressure Liquid CO2 Insulated Hose. Other control options include a 2-channel DMX Interface and a Remote Control Timer. Both of these control options connect in place of the standard Remote Control. High-capacity refrigerated low-pressure CO2 Dewar cylinders are available from your local compressed gas distributor.


CO2 Type:   Low pressure refrigerated liquid CO2 (Dewar cylinder)
Consumption:   3L (6.8 lb) per minute at 1715 kPa (225 PSI)
Operating Pressure:   1500 kPa (225 PSI) ±10%

Ice Fog Compack Low Fog Generator

The ICE FOG Compack is the newest product in the MDG range of low fog generators. Smaller than the ICE FOG Q, the ICE FOG Compack operates at 115VAC. The ICE FOG Compack also is available in two versions, for use either with high pressure liquid CO2 or with low pressure refrigerated CO2. The ICE FOG Compack uses liquid CO2, so it is important to use either a high pressure cylinder equipped with a siphon, or to connect to the liquid output of the low pressure Dewar cylinder.

All versions of the ICE FOG Compack include an onboard/remote controller and appropriate hoses. Other control options include a 2-channel DMX Interface and a Remote Control Timer. High-capacity CO2 cylinders are available from your local compressed gas distributor.
