How to Use Continuous Flow Confetti Cannons

Get Ready for Non-Stop Fun! Understanding Your Confetti Cannon

Prepare for breathtaking confetti extravaganzas with your professional continuous confetti cannon! Engineered for powerful, sustained performance, this device effortlessly generates epic effects, launching vibrant streams over 80 feet high and blasting through 1 pound of confetti per second.

Follow this step-by-step guide to set up and safely operate your Continuous Flow Confetti Cannon.

• Continuous flow confetti cannon (road case + horn + hose)
  
• 50 lb liquid CO₂ siphon tank (secured upright)
  
• Bulk confetti (tissue or metallic)
• Wrench (for CO₂ fittings)

General Safety Precautions

• Always read and understand all instructions before use.
  
  
• Only trained operators should handle the unit.
  
  

Launch Area Considerations

• Always aim upwards and away from people.
  
  
• Be aware of lights, wires, and ceilings.
  
  
• Maintain safe distance from face and eyes.
  
  

CO₂ Tank Handling

• Always secure the tank with straps to prevent tipping.
  
  
• Handle pressurized tanks carefully — no sudden impacts.
  
  

Confetti Loading Best Practices

• Fill the hopper loosely for optimal flow.
  
  
• Avoid overpacking — can cause jams.
  
  

Storage Guidelines

• Store cannon and confetti in cool, dry conditions.
  
  
• Avoid extreme heat or direct sunlight.

Clear the Area

Ensure overhead and forward space is unobstructed.

Unpack & Assemble

1. Open road case, remove hose and horn.
   
   
2. Place the horn securely on the hopper, with CO₂ fitting facing rear.
   
   
3. Use wing nuts to secure the horn — hand-tighten only.
   
   

Connect Hose & CO₂ Tank

1. Hand-tighten hose fitting to horn, then add a half-turn with a wrench.
   
   
2. Ensure the ball valve is closed (handle perpendicular).
   
   
3. Place the washer into CO₂ nut.
   
   
4. Attach hose nut to CO₂ tank valve outlet.
   
   
5. Secure connection with a wrench — do not over-tighten.
   
   
6. Slowly open the main CO₂ tank valve.

Initial Operation

• With CO₂ open and hopper loaded, turn ball valve to open.
  
  
• Confetti will immediately begin to shoot.
  
  

Flow Control

• Partially open valve = slower, controlled stream.
  
  
• Fully open valve = powerful blast + cold steam effect.
  
  

Pulsing Technique

• Open valve briefly → blast
  
  
• Close valve → let confetti float
  
  
• Repeat for extended coverage
  
  

Increasing Flow (Manual Assistance)

• While operating, gently fluff confetti inside the hopper by hand.
  
  
• Prevents clumping and keeps flow smooth.

• Use premium confetti for maximum visual impact.
  
  
• Load loosely and fluff before opening the valve.
  
  
• Tissue = eco-friendly outdoor use; Metallic = sparkle under lights.

• No confetti flow → check for clumps in horn.
  
  
• Flow slowing down → avoid fully opening valve to prevent icing.
  
  
• Clogs → gently fluff confetti or clear horn.
  

• Body: Road case design for durability.
  
  
• Horn: Aluminium, lightweight and strong.
  
  
• Hose & Ball Valve: High-quality, designed for years of use.
  
  
• Consumables:
  
  
  • Tissue paper confetti = biodegradable, flameproof
    
    
  • Mylar confetti = sparkling, flameproof

This cannon is powered solely by a 50 lb liquid CO₂ siphon tank, readily available from Airgas and other suppliers. Operator controls launch manually via the ball valve.

• How far does it shoot? → Over 80 ft high.
  
  
• How much confetti does it use? → Approx. 1 lb per second.
  
  
• Can it fire streamers? → No, continuous flow cannons are for confetti only.
