Yes. The spark machines we offer at Máquinas FX are designed to operate without pyrotechnics, using non-flammable metal granules. This means they do not generate heat, produce smoke, or pose a risk of burns or fires, making them completely safe for use indoors, on stages, near audiences, or in enclosed spaces such as theaters and event halls. When used correctly and with the appropriate consumables, they are a reliable and professional option.

Choosing the right spark machine will depend on several factors: the size of the space, the type of effect you want, how often you’ll use it, and the level of control you need.

For small events or indoor venues, models like the Sparkler 750 or the Micro Sparkler deliver great performance in a compact, affordable format. If you’re looking for taller, more powerful effects or synchronization with lighting and sound, Showven Sparkular models such as the Pro, Spin, or Triple are ideal for audiovisual productions, concerts, or complex shows.

If you have any questions, our team can advise you based on your needs, budget, and setup.

No. Unlike traditional pyrotechnic effects, cold spark machines do not require special permits or licenses. Since they contain no gunpowder and do not generate combustion, they are classified as safe general-use devices, as long as they are used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Maintenance is minimal, but important. After each use, it’s recommended to clean the granule loading area and check connectors and cables to ensure good electrical contact. It’s also important to use only compatible consumables, as using non-recommended materials can affect the machine’s performance or cause malfunctions.

The duration of a load depends on the model and the effect settings (height, intensity, and firing time). In general, a standard granule cartridge can provide between 60 and 90 seconds of continuous sparks, or multiple short bursts if the use is split. Some models allow different granule sizes (mini, medium, large) to suit the needs of the show.

Yes. Most of our professional models support DMX control, giving you full freedom to synchronize the effect with music, lighting, or other stage systems. There are also models with manual triggering or remote control, which are more practical for small events or quick setups. If you need automation and precision, we recommend choosing DMX models with advanced programming.

Yes, although they’re primarily designed for indoor use, many models can also be used outdoors as long as conditions are suitable. It’s important that the ground is stable, there’s no strong wind, and a safety distance is maintained from the audience. In any case, you should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use compatible consumables to avoid blockages or malfunctions during firing.
