How Does The Electric Confetti Cannon Work？

If you're looking to add a moment of excitement and fun to your event, we've made it easy with our electric confetti cannons. The confetti will blast out over 35 feet and fill the air with color. Here are the steps to creating your own incredible Confetti Effect.

Confetti Cannon

How it works

A CO2 cylinder provides the push to shoot the confetti out of the barrel. You can use either 12g or 16 gram CO2 cylinders. The CO2 is held inside the confetti cannon with a valve. This valve is normally closed. When you turn on 110v power to this confetti cannon the valve opens and instantly shoots the confetti out of the barrel.

You plug the cord into a power strip or any controllable electrical outlet (110v). Always keep the power off until you are ready to shoot the confetti. When you flip the switch the confetti cannon instantly fires the confetti. There is no lag time it is immediate.

Loading the barrel

Loading the barrel is easy. Cut the plastic sleeve open and slide the open end into the barrel. Push the confetti into the barrel while pulling the plastic sleeve out of the barrel. Place a compression cap onto the end of the barrel. Use compression tape to secure the compression cap to the barrel. Using the compression cap and tape creates a pressure chamber to shoot the confetti the farthest distance.

Loading the CO2 cylinder

Now it is time to load the CO2 cylinder into the brass piercing unit. Make sure the valve is in the closed position before you screw in the cylinder. Screw the CO2 cylinder completely into the piercing unit. There is a piercing pin inside that pierces the cylinder while it is screwed into the unit.

Connect the CO2 cylinder

Connect the piercing unit to the Confetti Cannon using the quick disconnect fitting. Push the outside of the brass fitting on the confetti cannon down. At the same time push the nipple fitting on the piercing unit into the brass fitting on the confetti cannon. Now release the brass fitting on the cannon and it should lock the piercing unit in place. Tug on the piercing unit to confirm that it is locked securely in place. Turn the knob on the piercing unit to the open position and the CO2 will flow into the confetti cannon. The confetti cannon is now charged with CO2.

Attach the loaded barrel

Attach the loaded barrel to the quick disconnect fitting. Push the outside ring on the fitting down while pushing the nipple fitting on the barrel into the other fitting. When you release the outside ring the barrel will be locked into position. Tug on the barrel to make sure it is secure in the fitting. Attach the safety cable from the confetti cannon to the barrel.
