CO2 machine hire (Megatron effect) is the undisputed standard for boosting energy at festivals, nightclubs and concerts. This effect generates powerful columns of white cryogenic gas that appear and disappear instantly, accompanied by a strong release sound and a dramatic drop in temperature that refreshes the audience.
We supply fully serviced professional equipment (fixed Jets and handheld CO2 Guns) along with all required connection materials (high-pressure hoses) to guarantee a safe and spectacular performance.
Types of Machines by Effect
Our inventory covers the two main cryogenic gas shooting formats:
- CO2 Jet (Fixed Effect): Cannons designed to be mounted on stage edges or trusses. Controlled via DMX or manual trigger to fire columns up to 8 metres high, synchronised with music. The classic festival “Megatron”.
- CO2 Gun (Mobile Effect): Handheld units that require no electricity. DJs or performers control the trigger directly, allowing interaction with the crowd and targeting specific areas of the dancefloor.
- Smoke Jet (LED Alternative): If CO2 gas cannot be used due to logistics or budget, we offer CO2 simulators using fast-dissipating smoke fluid and LED lighting to recreate the geyser-style visual effect.
Megatron Effect Benefits
- Absolute Cleanliness: Unlike confetti or foam, CO2 instantly converts from liquid to gas and dissipates without leaving residue, stains or moisture.
- Cooling Effect: The gas is released at very low temperature (cryogenic effect). In packed venues or summer festivals, the audience appreciates the refreshing blast of cold air.
- Visual and Audio Impact: Not just visual; the pressurised gas release creates an adrenaline-pumping sound that perfectly matches musical drops.
- Repeatable Effect: Allows continuous firing throughout the event without machine reloading (as long as the gas cylinder lasts).
Hire Options and Operational Support
We adapt our service to the scale of your production:
- Dry Hire: We provide Jets or Guns and the required high-pressure hoses, coordinating CO2 cylinders with a local gas supplier.
- Hire with Technician: For large setups, our technicians handle high-pressure line installation, secure anchoring and operation during the show.

As high-pressure systems are involved, it is essential that equipment and hoses are inspected and certified. We guarantee fully tested materials with verified fittings and seals to prevent leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CO₂ machine and what is it used for?
A CO₂ machine is a special effects device that uses high-pressure CO₂ gas to generate visible bursts or columns of cold gas. It is widely used at concerts, festivals, clubs and corporate events for high-impact visual moments.
Which CO₂ machine is best for my event?
This depends on venue size, stage layout and desired interaction. CO₂ Guns are ideal for direct crowd engagement; CO₂ Jets for synchronised stage effects; and larger systems for major productions. Technical consultation ensures the right choice.
What is the difference between CO₂ Jet and Smoke Jet?
A CO₂ Jet uses liquid CO₂ gas, producing a cold, highly visible and fast-dissipating effect. A Smoke Jet creates vertical columns using smoke fluid and powerful heaters. CO₂ provides stronger impact; Smoke Jet is easier logistically and does not require gas cylinders.
Can CO₂ machines be used indoors?
Yes, in large and well-ventilated spaces. Duration and frequency of bursts must be controlled and safety distances respected, particularly in enclosed venues.
What advantages do CO₂ machines offer?
Immediate visual impact, cooling sensation, zero residue and perfect synchronisation with music and lighting. Ideal for drops, artist entrances and finales.
Is it safe to use CO₂ machines?
Yes, when operated correctly by qualified technicians. CO₂ is non-flammable, but safety distances must be respected and prolonged close-range firing avoided.
Are special permits required?
CO₂ is not classified as pyrotechnics, but its use is subject to venue safety regulations and risk prevention plans. Approved cylinders, professional installation and prior venue approval are typically required.
