Coemar are using PLASA 2002 as a platform to launch the new Antari UK on its own dedicated stand. Smoke machine expert Jon Petts has joined the company to head up the initiative - which effectively becomes the Smoke & Effects division of Coemar UK, set up earlier this year by Ian Kirby. Petts believes the Taiwanese technology of Antari will make an immediate impact with the launch of the professional Fogger Fazer X range, aimed at the club and touring markets. This will complement the established Z range - and innovative products like the HZ-400 DMX-controlled professional hazer.

The new, aesthetically-styled X range, which will be on its first public exhibition duty anywhere in the world boasts a number of key features common to all models. These include aluminium casting heater, which offers longer-lasting dispersion and 25% more output; a modular design, providing easy maintenance and cost efficiency; an XMS interface in the form of an exchangeable remote module on all machines - and most importantly, an LCD-illuminated fluid tank, providing easy monitoring of fluid levels - vital in typically dark nightclub and concert situations.

The new products include: Fogger X-510 - equipped with non-clogging in the new 1000W heater system technology, concealed handle and safety ring, DMX controlled. Fogger X-515 - the new heat transfer system with die-cast aluminium 1500W heater, offering thermal protection and fast warm-up, provides high-volume, continuous fog production. Fazer X-310 - includes a built-in LED light, which blinks when the fluid chamber is low. The heater and fan can be paused when required and the Fazer itself boasts constant output and variable control. The blow direction can also be adjusted. Like all the X Series, the X-310 incorporates Antari’s new electronic system of DMX and Remote control. Fazer X-530 - this features a new heating system (based on a 3,000W heater), with good thermal protection and a larger unicore to ensure maximum fog output. The pump is operated by pulse control to allow the operator to programme accurately the volume of fog production required. The standard LCD display is another important feature, which makes the X-530 fogger suitable for all club, concert and theatre work.
