Rosco's Model 4500 Fog Machine was developed for situations where a high volume of dense fog is required. The machine has an incredible output equal to three of the Model 1500 machines.
The Model 4500 utilizes most of the quality components which have proven so reliable in the 1500. The high volume of fog is generated by combining three heat exchangers fed by a powerful peristaltic pump. The speed of the pump is controlled electronically, thus controlling the volume of the fog.
The Model 4500 features an internal 1 1/2 liter tank for fluid. The fluid level in the internal tank can be monitored from outside the machine. Users who prefer to supply fluid from larger external containers, for continuous operation, can do so easily with a simple hose connection.
The 4500 has an extensive array of controls and indicator lights on the back of the machine, secured under metal cover. There is a Remote Control included as standard equipment with the machine which permits operation from as far away as 100 feet (30 m). Also available is an optional Super Remote that includes a programmable sequencer. The machine is available in both 120 volt and 240 volt models.
The Model 4500, like all Rosco fog products, uses Rosco Fog Fluids exclusively. Rosco Fog Fluid is a unique chemical formulation honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences with an Academy Award.

Used Foggers and Hazers
Foggers and hazers are used on stage and in concerts in order to produce a smoke or gog-like effect during live performances. A fog machine is not just limited to the entertainment arena however, as it also has some use for military and industrial applications, as well as personal use to their cost coming down.
How does a smoke machine work? Typically, foggers and hazers vaporize a mixture of water and glycerine fluid or glycol fluid by atomizing a kind of mineral oil. The vaporized fluid disperses into a thick cloud of artificial fog once it comes into contact with the moisture in the air when itā??s released.
Foggers and hazers are most commonly seen in theatrical productions, where they are especially useful for setting the mood or creating the right kind of atmosphere during certain scenes in a play. In addition, foggers and hazers are quite commonly seen in haunted houses and Halloween displays, as the fog generated adds to the creepy atmosphere. Itā??s also become fairly common to see a fog machine during concerts, for example to add to the suspense before the performers come out onto the stage.
Nightclubs are another common venue for foggers and hazers, as they are able to enhance laser and other lighting arrangements due to the fogā??s refractive and reflective qualities. However, haze machines are slowly superseding foggers and hazers in nightclubs.
