Types of Flame Machines
In our flame machine collection, we categorize machines based on fuel type and flame effect:
Fuel Type: Machines powered by aerosol-based fuel (automotive starter fluid), LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), or diesel.
Flame Effect: Machines producing single-burst flames, multi-angle flames, or high-altitude fire effects.
Let’s explore these categories in more detail:
Single Burst Flame Machines
If you're looking for a powerful yet controlled fire effect, our H-E01, H-E02, H-E04, and handheld flame gun F-100 models deliver single-burst flames that can dramatically enhance stage performances. These machines are ideal for concerts, DJ events, and theatrical performances where precise fire bursts create thrilling effects.
Handheld Flame Gun:
Do you want complete mobility and an interactive experience with your audience? Handheld flame guns offer the ultimate flexibility for performers. With a lightweight design and easy operation, these flame guns allow you to move freely on stage while producing spectacular fire bursts. Unlike fixed-position flame machines, handheld flame guns give performers a unique way to engage with the crowd, creating an immersive visual experience.
Among our single-head flame machines, the H-E01A runs on LPG. Compared to automotive starter fluid models, it offers a lower flame height but provides a longer runtime without frequent refueling—making LPG a practical fuel choice for extended performances.
Fan-Shaped Multi-Angle Flames
For events requiring a more dynamic fire effect, our H-E03 and H-E05 models can shoot flames in multiple directions simultaneously. These machines are great for large concerts and theatrical performances, creating a more expansive and immersive fire show.
Among multi-angle flame machines, the H-E03A runs on LPG, similar to the H-E01A. It provides an extended runtime and allows for continuous fire effects without frequent fuel replacement, making it ideal for long-duration performances.
High-Altitude Flame Machines
For the most dramatic fire displays, our PF-800 and PF-1800 models produce towering flames of 8 to 10 meters, making them perfect for outdoor festivals and large stadium shows. The PF-800 requires manual flame angle adjustment before operation, while the PF-1800 features DMX control for automated, dynamic flame projection.
These high-altitude models run on diesel, which ensures powerful and sustained flame bursts that can dominate any large-scale event.
How to Choose the Right Flame Machine for Your Needs
Fuel Availability
Before selecting a machine, consider the availability of fuel in your region:
Automotive starter fluid is easy to find but may require a higher refueling frequency.
LPG provides a balance between flame height and duration, making it a popular choice.
Diesel is ideal for large-scale outdoor events due to its ability to sustain taller flames.
Venue Size and Flame Height
Small indoor venues: Single burst or multi-angle flame machines are ideal.
Medium to large venues: Multi-angle or high-altitude flame machines create more dramatic effects.
Outdoor stadiums and festivals: High-altitude diesel flame machines provide maximum impact.
Performance Frequency
If you need continuous flame effects throughout a long performance, LPG-based machines minimize fuel replacement interruptions.
If you need intense bursts of fire, automotive starter fluid models provide a higher flame impact.
Audience Interaction
Want to interact closely with your audience? Handheld flame guns allow performers to move freely and engage with the crowd, adding an extra layer of excitement to the show.
