Product: ECO2Jet – A New Era of Smoke Effects

The ECO2Jet is Magic FX’s next-generation CO₂ effect system, engineered as a sustainable and powerful alternative to traditional CO₂Jets and heavy gas bottles.

Key Technical Features:

  • high-performance effect: Produces thick white smoke clouds up to 12 meters, regardless of humidity or weather conditions;

  • efficient operation: One 5L fluid can = 13 minutes of output;

  • precision engineering: Equipped with a custom-designed nozzle and a built-in high-speed turbofan for maximum plume impact;

  • DMX control: Fully compatible with professional lighting and effects setups;

  • flexible positioning: The ECO2Jet can be mounted and angled in any direction, creating unique stage and festival effects.

The Challenge

For maximum visual impact, stage designers often need the ECO2Jet to be mounted at different angles and positions—whether vertically for towering smoke plumes or diagonally/horizontally for creative cloud effects. This requires:

  • A secure yet adjustable mounting system that withstands frequent repositioning;

  • ergonomic handling for fast setup and takedown during live event operations;

  • durability to survive constant touring, transport, and heavy use.

Solution with BIBUS

To meet these demands, Magic FX integrated a specialized Adjustable clamping lever from BIBUS into the ECO2Jet’s mounting bracket system.

Technical Contribution of the BIBUS adjustable clamping lever:

  • ergonomic control: Allows technicians to safely and easily reposition the ECO2Jet;

  • 360° flexibility: Enables mounting at any angle or position, unlocking creative freedom for stage designers;

  • robust construction: Withstands the mechanical stress of frequent adjustments and the high forces of the ECO2Jet’s turbofan output;

  • secure locking: Ensures stability of the unit once positioned, preventing unwanted movement during operation.

Results & Benefits

  • unlimited creativity: Designers can orient the ECO2Jet in vertical, diagonal, or horizontal positions to achieve dramatic stage effects;

  • operational efficiency: Technicians benefit from faster and safer rigging during high-pressure festival and touring schedules;

  • reliability under pressure: The combination of Magic FX engineering and BIBUS BV components ensures long-lasting, professional-grade performance.

Industry Impact

The ECO2Jet sets a new benchmark in sustainable, powerful, and flexible stage effects. By integrating the BIBUS adjustable clamping lever into the bracket system, Magic FX provides a product that not only outperforms traditional CO₂Jets but also empowers stage crews and designers with unmatched creative control.
