Showven Sparkular Fall Cold Spark Machine

Showven Sparkular Fall Machine - Indoor Firework Fountain Effects System

Showven Sparkular Fall indoor pyrotechnics Spark safe indoor display sparkler fountain. 

The Showven Sparkular Fall FX system produces a fantastic, non-hazardous gerb effect that looks exactly like traditional fireworks or jet burst pyrotechnics.

• Sparks “waterfall” effects for professional stage
• Fall length from 2-7m with different HC8200
• Up to 13-21min effects duration after fill up
• Easy setup and teardown with multi locations
• DMX/Wireless remote control, can be started and stopped at any time
• Switchable effects mode (Low Level/High Level)
• *For safety use, please don’t touch sparks with hands or other flammable objects.

The effect is simply created using a Showven Sparkular Fall machine and a special granulated alloy, removing the need for gunpowder or traditional pyrotechnic techniques. The duration and height of the effect can be varied throughout a display, with sequences of 'dancing' sparks created to entertain audiences.
 
The Showven Sparkular Mini system operates at such cool temperatures; the sparks themselves are not flammable. The machines are also very smart and have multiple built-in safety protocols. You can control the start and stop of the effect at anytime, and the system is keycard locked so the machine cannot be abused in any manner. You now can control the time, height, volume this has never been achieved from a machine ever. This is beginning of a new technology to the world of stage of effects.
 

• No hazardous materials to transport or store on site.
• Much safer than using traditional pyrotechnics.
• No large safety or exclusion zones are required as the units produce cold fallout which is perfectly safe (the audience can pass their hands through the effect without any concern).
• Can be used in locations where fireworks and pyrotechnics are not permitted.
• Up to 15 minutes of effect can be produced from just one powder refill (equivalent to 1800 x 0.5 second pyrotechnic gerbs). This makes the system far more cost-effective.
• Low smoke output.
• Rigging time and crew requirement is dramatically reduced when compared to traditional pyrotechnics, again, making them far more cost-effective.
• Variable duration and height of the effects is achievable.
• The system is ideal for permanent installations or multiple date productions as they remove the need for re-loading.
• Remote control via DMX or the available dedicated Host controllers

SPARKULAR® FALL in angles, please turn the Tip over to OFF status first, maximum firing
angle is 45 ° and can only be angled to the front side of the machine as below picture.
b) Make sure the machine is securely hanging on truss to avoid falling. An extra safety rope is
required for extra safety.

4. Connect Power / DMX cable
a) Connect a power cable to the POWER IN socket of SPARKULAR® FALL. Connect the other
end of power cable to the power source. Make sure power supply in consistent with the
rated voltage of the equipment, and the socket must well grounded.
