The Smoke Factory combines innovative technology with tour-ready design with its vaporizer fog machines. The machines serve professionals who know what quality is worth to them in daily use.
The company was founded in 1990 by Florian von Hofen out of anger about the quality of the available fog machines and is now an essential part of the market.
Already the first product - Enterprise TC 4 - was a revolutionary innovation in its time. It was the first fog machine that could be controlled with the then common lighting control standard "0-10 V". The fog can be programmed and operated from the console in a user-friendly way.
Since then, Smoke Factory has launched many other products for all applications, such as the battery-powered Scotty - the "fog from the wrist", the Fan Fogger - a touring classic with state-of-the-art technology, classic fog machines like Captain D and Data II as well as a floor fog machine, the so-called Carpet Crawler.
The stand equipment of every live event includes the product Tour Hazer of the Smoke Factory, which was developed especially for mobile use. Here, robust components - which can also survive a fall from the loading ramp - were combined with a case that offers enough space.
Smoke Factory products are sold not only in Germany, but also worldwide by various dealers. The company stands for devices "Made in Germany": reliable, robust and user-friendly. All products of the company are based on water-based fluid.
The products are suitable for small independent festivals in the region as well as for the Super Bowl with Metallica. Users are always on the safe side. In 2007, for example, several device and fluid combinations were certified by the test center of the Verwaltungs-BG in accordance with the then BGV C1. Smoke Factory was the only supplier who gave the necessary assurance regarding the "harmlessness" when using these products.
The devices are a "purchase for life". Many of the company's customers have been operating them at more than 200 events per year since 1990. Smoke Factory's fog machines can be repaired if necessary. Spare parts are available and a service team is on hand. Regular inspections can be performed if needed to ensure the lasting quality of the machines.
