2.2 Components
Familiarize yourself with the main components of the confetti blaster:
- Confetti Cannon: The upper part responsible for propelling confetti.
- Base Unit: Houses the CO2 connection and confetti loading area.
- High-Pressure Valve: Controls the CO2 flow.
- Portable Handle: For easy lifting and positioning.
- Adjustable Latch: Secures components and allows for angle adjustment.
- CO2 High-Pressure Hose: Connects the machine to an external CO2 tank (3-meter hose included).
3. Setup Instructions
- Unpacking and Placement:
Carefully remove the confetti blaster from its packaging. Place the machine on a stable, level surface in the desired location, ensuring adequate clearance above and around the discharge area. Consider the confetti spray height of 49-59 feet when positioning.
- CO2 Tank Connection:
Connect the provided 3-meter CO2 high-pressure hose to the machine's CO2 inlet and to a compatible CO2 tank (not included). Ensure all connections are tightened securely to prevent leaks. Use appropriate wrenches if necessary. Do not overtighten.
- Loading Confetti:
Open the confetti loading compartment. Load up to 20 kg of approved confetti paper into the machine. Distribute the confetti evenly for optimal effect. Close the compartment securely.
Figure 3: Confetti loading area. This image shows the open compartment where up to 20 kg of confetti paper can be loaded into the machine. - Power Connection:
Connect the machine to a suitable power source. Ensure the power supply matches the machine's requirements.
4. Operating Instructions
- Pre-Operation Check:
Before activation, verify that all safety precautions are observed, connections are secure, and the confetti loading compartment is properly closed.
- Opening CO2 Supply:
Slowly open the valve on the CO2 tank to allow gas to flow into the machine. The high-pressure valve on the machine itself will control the release.
- Activating Confetti Blast:
To initiate a confetti blast, operate the manual control mechanism (e.g., a lever or button, depending on the specific manual control interface). The duration and intensity of the blast can be adjusted by how long and how much the control is engaged.
Figure 4: Venturi principle application. This image illustrates the mechanism where CO2 pressure creates a whirlwind effect to propel confetti higher and more evenly. - Adjusting Spray Height:
The spray height of 49-59 feet is achieved through the machine's design and CO2 pressure. Fine-tune the effect by adjusting the manual control and the amount of confetti loaded.

After use, close the valve on the CO2 tank first, then release any residual pressure from the machine before disconnecting the hose. Turn off and unplug the power supply.
5. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the confetti loading area and the cannon barrel to prevent buildup that could obstruct confetti flow. Use a dry cloth or brush.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the CO2 hose and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks. Replace damaged components immediately.
- Storage: Store the machine in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the CO2 tank is disconnected and stored separately according to its safety guidelines.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No confetti discharge | CO2 tank valve closed, empty CO2 tank, clogged confetti barrel, loose CO2 hose connection. | Open CO2 tank valve, replace CO2 tank, clear any obstructions from the barrel, tighten CO2 hose connections. |
| Weak confetti spray | Low CO2 pressure, insufficient confetti loaded, uneven confetti distribution. | Check CO2 tank pressure, load more confetti, ensure confetti is evenly distributed. |
| CO2 leak detected | Loose hose connection, damaged hose or valve. | Immediately shut off CO2 supply. Check and tighten all connections. Inspect hose and valve for damage and replace if necessary. |
