X-Series machines feature cast aluminium heater blocks (which hold heat better than standard aluminium and result in higher fog output), super-quiet Italian pumps, low fluid indicators, interchangeable control modules and a high-efficiency vaporizing system. By incorporating these premium features, Antari says, it has geared the X-Series toward professional users such as rental companies, theatres, major stage events and TV/motion picture studios - thanks to the low noise level created by the machines' pumps, which makes them ideally suited for video and movie production.
Among the Antari foggers now available from Elation Professional are the X-310 and the X-515: The X-310 is a combination fogger and hazer, boasting a maximum fog output of 3,500 cubic feet per minute. Controllable twin fans allow for precise fog dispersion, and with a small degree of fine-tuning users can create a perfectly suspended haze. High-quality bearings ensure silent fan operation, say the company, making the X-310 ideal for use at noise-sensitive events.
The X-515 fogger is the main force of the X-Series. Using a powerful 1,500W aluminium cast heater, the unit produces clean and dry fog at a whopping maximum output of 20,000 cubic feet per minute. With a fluid consumption rating of 13 minutes per litre (at 100% output), the X-515's high-capacity six-litre tank needs to be refilled only once an hour for extended use. A sensor automatically shuts the X-515 off and flashes four bright blue LEDs when the fog fluid gets too low, preventing damage to the unit and alerting the user that it's time for a refill.
The X-515 features unique circuitry that's 100% resistant to external power interference and is housed inside a body streamlined for complete stability in thermal control. As on the X-310, a customized rubber pump helps this highly advanced fog machine achieve virtual silence during operation.
