💨 Continuous Flow Confetti Cannon FAQs — Endless Effects. Continuous Energy. Total Control.

A continuous flow cannon is a CO₂-driven launcher that sprays confetti in a nonstop stream instead of a single burst. Perfect for large-scale shows, it creates long-lasting visual effects that keep the crowd energized from the first cue to the final beat.

A continuous flow system connects a CO₂ tank to a confetti feed hose and barrel. When the valve opens, pressurized CO₂ pulls confetti from the hopper and projects it outward in a powerful, controlled stream until the tank is empty.

Unlike handheld or electric cannons, continuous flow units provide uninterrupted confetti output.

They’re designed for extended effects — ideal for finales, DJ sets, parades, and grand reveals where a short burst just isn’t enough.

Attach the CO₂ hose tightly to the tank and cannon inlet. Open the valve slowly while feeding confetti evenly into the hopper — maintaining a steady stream prevents clogs and guarantees a clean effect.

Yes — trained operators should handle CO₂ tanks and fittings. Always follow venue and manufacturer safety guidelines to ensure proper connection, pressure, and effect control.

Absolutely. Continuous flow cannons can be linked to a shared CO₂ tank or run from individual tanks for independent control. This setup allows you to fill massive stages or outdoor arenas with synchronized walls of color.

A standard tank typically powers 30–45 seconds of continuous output. Smaller tanks run shorter; larger tanks can extend runtime. Always have a spare on standby for multi-song or finale sequences.

They’re ideal for concerts, music festivals, sports events, parades, and TV productions where the goal is to fill the air with motion, light, and color that lasts.

Confetti from continuous flow cannons reaches up to 80+ feet, creating wide coverage and a dense, colorful storm perfect for arenas and outdoor venues.

Yes — in venues with adequate ceiling height and ventilation. Always confirm with your venue before setup, and use biodegradable tissue confetti for easy cleanup.

Absolutely. Continuous flow systems excel outdoors — just account for wind direction and angle to keep your confetti moving where the cameras and crowd can see it best.

Yes — when used responsibly. Maintain at least 10–15 feet from overhead fixtures and keep the barrel angled upward and clear of people, lights, and rigging.

Yes, but maintain space between your cannon and fixtures. CO₂ vapor is cold — avoid discharging directly at delicate electronics or hot lighting elements.

Only trained crew members should connect CO₂ tanks and open valves under pressure. Always review handling procedures before each show.

Cleanup is quick with biodegradable tissue confetti — sweep or vacuum once the effect settles. Avoid overfeeding confetti to reduce scattered debris.

Yes — our tissue confetti options break down naturally, making them safe for indoor and outdoor use.

Many do, but always check first. Metallic and foil confetti look stunning under lights but require extra cleanup and may not be allowed on certain floors or stages.

Ensure the CO₂ valve is open, the hose is tightly attached, and the confetti pieces aren’t packed too densely. Reduce feed rate for smoother flow.

Most setups can maintain output for 30–45 seconds per tank, depending on pressure, hose diameter, and confetti type.
