WIRELESS REMOTE. TRUSS-MOUNTABLE. 16.5 LBS. The SurgeFX Arctic Flake is a compact, lightweight 1500W snow machine that produces dense, dry, realistic snowflakes and covers 540–650 square feet per minute. At just 16.5 lbs, it's designed to go where larger snow machines can't — mount it overhead on truss using the built-in adjustable handle and hook mount, set it on a table or riser, or position it on the ground. The 5-liter fluid tank provides extended run time without constant refills, and a wireless remote lets you trigger snow on cue from anywhere in the venue. The snowflakes are dry, non-slip, and safe for contact with skin — making this an ideal choice for holiday displays, parties, weddings, DJ events, stage productions, photo/video shoots, and kid-friendly events. 💡 Overview 🎨 Performance 📐 Specifications 🎛️ Setup & Control ❓ FAQ Compact, Portable, Powerful The Arctic Flake packs 1500W of snow output into a machine that weighs just 16.5 lbs and measures under 10 inches on its longest side. It's built for portability and versatility — light enough for one person to carry, small enough to mount overhead or tuck out of sight, and powerful enough to blanket a large room with realistic snowfall. If you need snow effects without hauling a large-format production machine, this is the one. Key Features 1500W output — covers 540–650 sq ft per minute with dense, realistic snowflakes. Truss-mountable — built-in adjustable handle with hook mount lets you hang the machine directly on truss for overhead snowfall. Adjust the angle to direct snow exactly where you need it. Ultra-lightweight — 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg). One person can carry it, mount it, and position it without help. 5-liter fluid tank — large tank for a machine this size, providing extended run time between refills. Wireless remote — trigger snow on/off from anywhere in the venue. No DMX or wired connection needed. Dry, non-slip snowflakes — produces lightweight, fluffy flakes that are safe for skin contact, non-harmful to plants or eyes, and leave minimal residue. Safe for use at children's events. Who It's For DJs, mobile entertainers, event planners, photographers, videographers, churches, schools, retail stores, holiday display operators, wedding planners, party hosts, and anyone who needs reliable snow effects in a portable, easy-to-use package. No technical expertise required — fill the tank, plug it in, and use the remote. At a Glance: 1500W · 5L tank · 540–650 sq ft/min coverage · wireless remote · truss-mountable with adjustable angle · 16.5 lbs · dry non-slip snowflakes · safe for kids · AC 100–240V Coverage The Arctic Flake covers approximately 540–650 square feet per minute (50–60 m²) — enough to fill a medium-to-large room, stage area, dance floor, or outdoor zone with visible snowfall. For larger spaces, use multiple units spaced across the coverage area. Snow Quality The machine produces dry, white, fluffy snowflakes that drift naturally and look convincing as they fall. The flakes are lightweight and dissipate quickly after landing, leaving minimal residue on surfaces. Unlike wet-type snow machines that produce heavy, damp output, the Arctic Flake's dry formula creates clean snowfall that won't soak into costumes, decorations, or flooring. Safety When used with proper snow machine fluid, the Arctic Flake's output is non-toxic and safe for contact with skin and eyes. The dry, non-slip formula makes it appropriate for events where guests — including children — will be in the snow coverage area. It's also safe around plants and decorations. Snow Fluid The Arctic Flake uses standard snow machine fluid (snow oil). For best results, use high-quality fluid formulated specifically for snow machines — such as SurgeFX Snö™ High Performance Snow Solution. Do not use fog fluid, haze fluid, bubble solution, or water. Using incorrect fluid can damage the machine and produce poor snow quality. Mounting for Overhead Snowfall The most realistic snow effect comes from mounting the machine above the coverage area so snowflakes fall downward naturally. The Arctic Flake's built-in adjustable handle and hook mount make this easy — hang it directly on lighting truss, pipe, or any overhead structure rated for the weight. Adjust the angle to direct snow output exactly where you want it. At 16.5 lbs, the machine is light enough for standard truss hardware and clamps. Technical Specifications Specification Detail Model SurgeFX Arctic Flake Power 1500W Voltage AC 100–240V, 50Hz / 60Hz Coverage 540–650 sq ft/min (50–60 m²) Tank Capacity 5L (1.3 gallons) Control Wireless remote Mounting Standing or truss-mount (adjustable handle with hook) Fluid Type Snow machine fluid (snow oil) Machine Dimensions 25 × 12 × 22 cm (9.8 × 4.7 × 8.7 in) Net Weight 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs) Gross Weight 8 kg (17.6 lbs) Package Dimensions 58 × 33 × 35 cm (22.8 × 13.0 × 13.8 in) Packing Carton box SKU SFX-SNO-002 What's in the Box SurgeFX Arctic Flake snow machine (1 unit) Wireless remote + receiver Power cord Snow fluid sold separately. The Arctic Flake requires snow machine fluid to operate. We recommend SurgeFX Snö™ High Performance Snow Solution for optimal results. Do not use fog fluid, haze fluid, or any other liquid not specifically formulated for snow machines. Setup Options The Arctic Flake supports two setup orientations: Standing (ground/table/riser): Place the machine on any stable, level surface. Point the output nozzle toward the area you want to cover. This is the simplest setup — ideal for ground-level snow effects, photo booth backgrounds, retail displays, and situations where you want snow blowing across a space horizontally. Truss-mounted (overhead): Use the built-in adjustable handle and hook mount to hang the machine directly on truss, pipe, or overhead structures. Adjust the angle to aim the output downward into your coverage zone. This creates the most realistic top-down snowfall effect. At 16.5 lbs, the machine works with standard truss clamps and rigging hardware. Always verify your overhead structure is rated for the load. Best Results: For the most convincing snowfall, mount the Arctic Flake overhead so snowflakes fall downward naturally through the air. The adjustable handle lets you fine-tune the angle to spread coverage exactly where you need it. Position the machine upstage or behind the primary sightline so the unit itself stays out of view. How to Use Fill the tank with snow machine fluid (up to 5L). Do not overfill. Plug in the power cord and turn on the machine. Insert the wireless receiver into the machine's receiver port. Use the wireless remote to start and stop snow output on demand. That's it. No DMX programming, no complex configuration. Fill, plug in, remote on. Wireless Remote The included wireless remote provides simple on/off control from a distance. No line-of-sight required — trigger snow from behind a curtain, across the room, or from your DJ booth. The remote and receiver pair automatically. Keep a spare battery on hand for multi-day events. Fluid Guidelines Use only snow machine fluid (snow oil) specifically formulated for snow machines. Do not use fog fluid, haze fluid, bubble solution, water, or any other liquid. Using incorrect fluid can damage the machine's internal components and produce poor-quality or wet output. We recommend SurgeFX Snö™ Snow Solution for best results. Maintenance After each use, wipe down the exterior and clean any spilled fluid. If storing for more than a few weeks, drain the tank to prevent residue buildup. Check the output nozzle and fluid lines for blockages before each use. Store in a dry environment — do not leave outdoors or in high-humidity conditions. Frequently Asked Questions Can I mount this on truss? Yes. The Arctic Flake has a built-in adjustable handle with a hook mount designed for hanging directly on truss or pipe. Adjust the angle to aim snow output where you need it. At 16.5 lbs, it's compatible with standard truss clamps and rigging hardware. Always verify your overhead structure is rated for the weight. How much area does it cover? Approximately 540–650 square feet per minute (50–60 m²). For larger areas, use multiple units. Is the snow safe for kids? Yes. When used with proper snow machine fluid, the Arctic Flake produces dry, non-toxic snowflakes that are safe for contact with skin and eyes. The non-slip formula is appropriate for children's events, holiday displays, and public-facing installations. Does it leave residue? Minimal. The Arctic Flake produces dry snowflakes that dissipate quickly after landing. Some light residue may accumulate on surfaces with heavy or prolonged use — a quick wipe-down or sweep handles it. How long does a full tank last? Run time depends on how continuously you operate the machine and at what output level. The 5-liter tank provides extended operation for a machine this size. For events where you need snow for several hours, keep extra fluid on hand for refills. What fluid does it use? Standard snow machine fluid (snow oil). We recommend SurgeFX Snö™ Snow Solution. Do not use fog fluid, haze fluid, bubble solution, or water. Can I use it indoors and outdoors? Yes. The Arctic Flake works in both settings. Outdoors, wind will affect snowflake drift and coverage — position the machine upwind of your target area. The machine itself is not waterproof — do not leave it exposed to rain or moisture.
