The Salamander Quad Pro is the latest flame unit under development from Le Maitre, and LDI will provide the first opportunity to see the new machine prior to its launch later in Spring 2014.
The original Salamander flame effect, launched earlier this year has been a resounding success units sold across the globe and particularly in the US, where there has been a big uptake for tours and cruise ships. The Salamander Quad Pro follows on from this successful launch, extending Le Maitre's flame family offering.
The Salamander Quad Pro is a larger, more versatile system than the Salamander. A four canister system, it can be operated with each canister being fired independently and the option of multiple colours being loaded to provide a truly stunning visual display from a single machine. Firing the canisters sequentially can also be used to increase the duration of the effect, with up to 120 hits in total and each flame reaching around 12ft in height. Alternatively, all four canisters can be fired at the same time to produce a much bigger single flame reaching up to a spectacular 25ft - terrific for stadiums!
The new unit also retains a number of key features and benefits from the original Salamander design, including:
A unique firing system which eliminates internal valves and accumulators, thus minimising the chance of the system becoming blocked or leaking.
Canister-based fluids, offering an ideal solution for anyone wanting to create a propane-style flame without the headaches. These eliminate the need for inconvenient external propane tanks, trailing pipes and multiple valves, enabling quick set-up and at a fraction of the cost.
A choice of colours - natural and red, as well as a choice of fuels - butane/propane (natural canisters) and where the use of propane isn't permitted, ethanol/methanol (red canisters), provide a great alternative solution.
A number of safety features including a safety tilt sensor as well as ignitor monitoring are also incorporated.
Le Maitre's much awaited HazeMaster, the most advanced and powerful hazer yet, previewed at LDI last year is now being launched at LDI 2013.
With its massive output capacity, high power variable fan and low power consumption, it really is a class act. Add to that the rugged construction and you have a truly professional hazer engineered to withstand the rigours of the road when on tour.
Le Maitre have taken all their experience from HazeMaster's predecessors, the renowned Stadium Hazer and the MVS Hazer, and designed a completely new machine with a host of new features and benefits. Le Maitre's acquired knowledge and original investments have enabled them to produce a much more competitively priced unit, despite using higher quality, longer lasting parts.
The design is sleek and modern with a robust steel casing, underneath which lies a true masterpiece of engineering. The combination of an industrial grade air-pump, a 2-stage heating process and a microprocessor controller, produce an output so powerful that the HazeMaster can convert up to 750cc of fluid per hour.
