Controlled via DMX, this effect generator shows a spectacular interplay of fire and water: A flame travels up a jet of water and dances on top of it, before it ultimately collapses into a fire ball below the falling drops. • Continuously DMX-controlled water fountain with a jet height of up to 10 m • RGB LED spotlights to illuminate the fountain jet • DMX-controlled ignition burner and flame adjustment • Large variety of combined fire and water effects, and even more to discover • The running flame can also be projected on a horizontal jet of water Devices 5 Flame projectors Fivemaster The Fivemaster flame projector by TBF-PyroTec has set new standards for indoor stage pyrotechnics. Its five separate flame jets have an adjustable output range of 4 to 6 meters and can be controlled via DMX, either individually or in programmable combinations. The specially developed fluid and the reliable ignition system allow for rapid fire sequences with bright and rich flame contours. The built-in 3 liter tank stores enough fluid for approximately 1000 flame jets. No pyrotechnical license is required for the operation of the Fivemaster (EU). Flamemaster® The Flamemaster is a propane-fueled safety flame projector with speedy reaction times. It generates effective columns of flames up to 5 m with a high frequency and is ready to impress any audience. Combined with the DMX-compatible Flamemaster controller, up to 8 Flamemasters can be operated simultaneously – and, using the respective software, even synchronized with music. All over the world, the Flamemaster is used for spectacular background effects on stage and on tour, for impressive special effects in film and theater productions, and for the realistic depiction of fires and explosions in amusement parks and theme parks. 6 Devices Flame projectors VaryFire The propane-fueled “Flamemaster VaryFire” is the Flamemaster’s big brother. It is controlled by DMX and offers even more different fire effects. • Fire balls from 0.2 to 5 meters in diameter, continuously DMX-controlled via DMX • Fire columns, 0.2 to 5 meters high and up to 30 seconds long, continuously DMX-controlled • Two individual DMX channels, for ignition and adjustment of the effect height • Compact design • Flame monitoring by UV-Scanner Bigflame The Bigflame is a unique safety flame projector, emitting spectacular columns of flame with a height of up to 13 meters. The Bigflame is fueled with propane gas and quickly ready for re-ignition. Its high-tech safety features make the Bigflame easy to use and to control. It is the choice of preference when very high or extensive effect flames are desired, especially outdoors. The large horizontal or vertical jets of flame make for the breath of a dragon, erupting volcanoes, fulminate explosions, effect flames at sports events, conjuring tricks with flames, the simulation of major fires, or a spectacular background for musical events. Firewall TBF PyroTec’s Firewall opens up whole new opportunities for the creative work with fire. The modules are manufactured in 1.5 or 2 meters of length and can easily be ignited via DMX or a user-friendly control panel. The specially designed burner tubes project a wall of fire with a height of up to 1.6 meters – and almost unlimited length. The design allows the ignition of up to 10 modules with one controller. The flame monitoring by optical sensor, the quick-responding emergency fuel-shutdown in case of a malfunction and the low-noise, high-energy ignition sparks guarantee the highest security standards. The Firewall is fueled with propane gas and works extremely economical. Devices 7 Flame projectors Spraymaster ® The Spraymaster is the most recent development by TBF-PyroTec. Aerosols are mixed with air in a special combustion chamber, and safely ignited by a high-voltage electric arc. As a special benefit, the fuel comes in cartridges that can be replaced in a matter of seconds. That makes the Spraymaster exceptionally mobile and fully independent of stationary gas supplies. A choice of various effect fuels is available. The Spraymaster projects columns of flame and fireballs with a height of up to 4 meters. For additional safety, a level switch automatically disconnects the unit from the mains if it is inclined by more than 40°. Lycomaster The Lycomaster is fueled only by compressed air and lycopodium – the spores of a plant. A solenoid valve is used to blow compressed air into a specifically designed swirl chamber, where the air is mixed with the optimal amount of lycopodium. Custom jet nozzles control the flow into a firebox, where the mixture is safely ignited by a high-voltage electric arc. This forms a fascinating, completely non-toxic flame with a particularly beautiful shape. Ideal for fire effects where gas flame columns cannot be used. Feuertornado The tornado swirls – restrained in a fire-resistant, two-meter-high glass tube – on a beautifully shaped base, which houses the safety technology and the fuel tank. Either propane gas, aerosol or fire paste can be used as fuel. The Fire Tornado is a truly unique fire decoration and is guaranteed to rev up your event. 8 Devices Flame projectors Spraymaster ® Multicolour The Spraymaster® Multicolour is the first device to allow the projection of multi-colored flame effects with a compact and mobile system. The unit is designed to accept three special aerosol cartridges at the same time; cartridges are available for green, blue, violet, orange, red and yellow flames. Depending on the combination of aerosol colors used, it is possible to produce completely new single-colored or multi- colored flame effects. The cartridges can be replaced quickly and easily. Moreover, the Spraymaster® is extremely easy to transport. The Spraymaster® projects columns of flame and fireballs with a height of up to 6 meters. A level switch automatically disconnects the unit from the mains if it is inclined by more than 40°. Starflasher The „Star Flasher“ is designed to produce impressive sparkling fountain effects in combination with one of TBF-PyroTec’s flame projectors, such as the “Spray Master” or the “Flamemaster”. The “Star Flasher” must only be connected and put on top of the flame projector. Through a patented process, our “Star Powder” is injected into the flame, resulting in a spark effect similar to a conventional pyrotechnical stage fountain. The “Star Powder” is not a pyrotechnical set and develops very little smoke. The “Star Flasher” is triggered via DMX, just like the flame projectors. Devices 9 Fire bowls Gas fire bowls Gas fire bowls are particularly well suited for outdoor use. A long burning time and a safe and reliable operation, even after many hours, are characteristic for the gas fire bowls by TBF PyroTec. Modern electronics ensure reliable ignition and a trouble-free operation. Whether for celebrating the Olympic Games, a birthday party or any other formal occasion - our gas fire bowls will surely convince you. NEU Easy Flame NEW The gas fire bowl „Easy Flame“ works without electricity. Just put a 6 kg propane gas bottle into the casing, connect it to the fire bowl and press the ignition button. The “Easy Flame” consumes 1.5 - 2 kg of propane per hour, with a flame that burns 20 – 40 cm high. Decorative fire bowls For indoor use, we recommend our decorative fire bowls. The beautifully shaped bowls are available in many different designs. These fire bowls are not only a tasteful decoration, they also run with real, smokeless fire. This is realized by using a special fire paste (also see Brandpacks®, fire paste and fire gel), which burns almost without smoke and odor. The combination of a real fire burning in an elegant shell puts a notable highlight to any event. Liquid-fire bowl This new development is a fire bowl that is powered by a special liquid fuel. The burner creates a calm and long-lasting, deep-yellow flame, which burns with almost no smoke at all. The integrated 10-liter tank supplies the bowl with fuel for up to eight hours without having to be refilled. 10 Devices Effects machines Confetti Master The Confetti Master is the ultimate confetti-cannon for dance clubs, venues and stadiums. Powered by compressed air or CO2, the confetti or glitter is thrown up to 16 m high. The emission range and the consumption rate can be adjusted with a regulation valve. The Confetti Master is different from usual confetti-cannons: its larger footprint and the well-balanced center of gravity make it steadier, the CO2-bottle can be strapped to the case, and the annoying confetti remains in the storage bay have been significantly reduced. You can find a selection of confetti and glitter under “confetti”. Wind machines From “gentle breeze” to “stormy” – the wind machine “Trillerpfeife” does it all. The highly resistant plastic housing, its easy handling and minimal noise distinguish this wind machine. Its frequent use in movie and theater productions is also due to its low weight, which makes it easy for one person to rotate the device and change the angle of the air outlet. Devices 11 Fog tools Jetmaster Our “JetMaster” generates columns or semicircular walls of fog with a height of up to 8 meters. No fog fluids or chemicals are needed; the “JetMaster” is connected to a conventional dip tube CO2 bottle with a standard high-pressure hose. You can optionally use three different and easily interchangeable nozzles, available with 6 or 8 meters of emission height, or a fivefold nozzle with an output radius of 3 meters to each side. The “JetMaster” can be controlled via DMX. Lowfogmaster The TBF Lowfog-Master turns any fog machine into a high-performance ground fog generator. Its unique technology makes it possible to completely cover large areas with ground fog in next to no time (about 300 sqm in less than 15 seconds). The Lowfog-Master uses CO2 to cool the fog from the generator and creates a thick ground fog by swirling it out. The TBF fog fluid “Easy L” lets you create a particularly long-lasting fog. The Lowfog-Master is the ideal complement for light and laser shows, convincing fog depictions for film and stage productions, and for a wide variety of uses in theme parks. 12 Devices Fog tools Hazer Unique 2.1: DMX as standard, variable output and haze density, minimal warm-up time, minimal noise, easy programming and low fluid consumption… these are just a few of the features of the vapor generator UNIQUE 2.1. It is the newest model in the UNIQUE-series, which is successfully used on stages all over the world since many years. You can find the suitable haze fluid for the UNIQUE 2.1 under “fog fluids”. Fog machines TBF-PyroTec offers a select range of top-quality fog machines. These devices are exclusively manufactured in Germany and particularly distinguished by their high durability. An assortment of high quality fog liquids can be found under “fog fluids”. Tiny Fogger, Tiny FX, Tiny CX, Power Tiny, Viper NT, Viper 2.6, Orka & Orka with Case Detailled descriptions of the Fog machines can be found on our website. Devices 13 Ignition systems Ignition Master The TBF Ignition Master system reliably combines modern DMX control programs for stage effects with the high safety standards required for the operation of pyrotechnical devices. The modular TBF Ignition Master system consists of a control unit and up to 64 connectable ignition boxes with various effect holders. From a total of 512 available channels, eight channels are assigned to each of the ignition boxes, which can trigger up to 160 different pyrotechnical effects. The control unit is activated by the DMX software and sends digital trigger commands to the ignition boxes. Due to the deployment of the DMX 512 technology, one cable is enough to activate all connected ignition boxes and trigger the desired effects just in time. Galaxis The professional ignition system for all pyrotechnicians. We offer Galaxis ignition systems for the well-tried Profi-series and the new Advanced-series. 14 Devices Fire materials Fire paste and fire gel TBF PyroTec’s fire pastes and fire gels burn wherever they are applied – in fire bowls, on walls, in a burning barrel, in the film studio, on the stuntman, on ice, indoors or outdoors, with black smoke or almost no smoke at all, with a normal or a custom-colored flame. Brandpacks The Brandpacks® Color were originally developed as fuel for our outdoor fire bowls – but, under the right conditions, they can be used indoors just as well. Our Brandpacks® Color are guaranteed to be safe and simple to use. They are particularly economical and have been widely used on various events throughout Europe. Available in red, green, blue, orange and yellow; special colors on request. A new variant of the fire packs are the Jellypacks, which contain fire gel as fuel. Fire liquids For those using torches and wicking materials, we offer the following fire fluids: • Fire fluid low smoke • Colored fire fluid – red, green, blue, orange • Fire fluid torch oil Lycopodium Lycopodium is composed of the dry spores of clubmoss plants (Lycopodium Cara). We only use material of the highest purity and quality. We receive a sample of each harvest of our cooperation partner in order to ensure a consistently high proportion of essential oils and thus a product of top quality. Products 15 Pyrotechnics Stage pyrotechnics Our trusted cooperation partners for stage pyrotechnics are Wells Fireworks, LeMaitre and PyroPak. Flash paper, flash cotton and flash cord We offer flash paper, flash cotton and flash cord in various types and sizes. Examples: Flash paper to “conjure” wrapped objects with a jet of flame. Flash cotton to simulate shots in muzzle loaders, for magic tricks, or as a propellant. Flash cord to release suspended objects, or to ignite fire art. 16 Products Fog and smoke supplies Fog fluid Our fog fluids have been tested by the independent Fresenius Institute and were classified as safe products. The high-purity ingredients guarantee a long service life for the fog machines they are used in. Our selection of fog fluids: • Easy III • Easy IV • Easy Tiny – specially for our fog machine Tiny • Easy L – specially for the ground fogger LowfogMaster • Easy Haze – specially for Hazer Unique 2.1 Smoke supplies We offer the following products for creating smoke effects: • Smoke pellets: they emit as much smoke as a cigar or a beekeepers’ pipe. Available Color: white. • Smoke cartridges: four minutes of smoke emission, similar to a burning tire. Available in all colors. • Smoke powder: the more powder, the more smoke. Availablecolor: white. Smoke effects should generally only be used outdoors or in rooms with appropriate ventilation. Unlike fog, smoke consists of small particles, which can cause damage to the lungs, regardless of the color. Products 17 Refractories Flammex Flammex is a low viscosity product for the impregnation of textiles. It is applied with a spray bottle, a spray gun or by dipping. After drying, the fabric has a flame-retardant impregnation. Prior to use, especially with costumes, a small sample should be treated with Flammex for testing purposes. Water glass Water glass (sodium silicate) is a well-tried agent for the flame-retardant impregnation of all rigid materials. Materials treated with water glass, like wood or straw, cannot be easily ignited. Stunt gel Stunt gel is applied in a thick layer on body parts that need protection; it delays the heating impact of fire. Particularly for fire artists and stunt people this product is an indispensible utensil to protect themselves from the consequences of exposure to fire. The stunt gel is skin-friendly and odorless. Fire proof fabrics TBF-Pyrotec offers a wide selection of fire-proof fabrics with different properties. • Heat-resistant and fire-resistant fabrics • Absorbent ceramic wool • Kevlar We also use heat-resistant and refractory fabrics to create hoses, curtains or other items. We will gladly help you to find the right material for any specific purpose. 18 Products Theatrical SFX materials Theatrical blood Pigmentol, the theatrical blood developed by TBF-PyroTec, is a film blood with outstanding qualities: • Very natural look and flow behavior • Applied Pigmentol does not dry out • Easy to wash from skin and clothes • Skin-friendly • Storable for several years without refrigerating Pigmentol is a natural and pigmented food coloring.
