White MA0509-ZAW smoke generator – intense white smoke with pull-pin activation
The Maxsem MA0509-ZAW white smoke generator is a pyrotechnic product from the CE T1 category that produces an intense and highly visible white smoke cloud after activation. Thanks to its practical pull-pin system, there is no need to ignite a traditional fuse with an open flame.
The estimated smoke emission time is approximately 40–50 seconds. Smoke is released from one end of the generator because the MA0509-ZAW features single-sided emission. This makes it easier to position the product correctly and plan the direction in which the white smoke cloud will spread.
The generator has a 34 mm calibre, ADR 1.4G transport classification and belongs to the CE T1 pyrotechnic category. Use the product exclusively outdoors, in accordance with the manufacturer’s original instructions and applicable local regulations.
The listed price applies to one white MA0509-ZAW smoke generator.
Intense white smoke for approximately 40–50 seconds
The MA0509-ZAW WHITE produces a dense and clearly visible white smoke cloud. Its neutral white colour is particularly effective against dark buildings, green vegetation, woodland and other colourful or contrasting backgrounds.
The final visual effect may vary depending on temperature, humidity, wind direction and wind speed. In calm weather, the smoke remains concentrated around the generator for longer. Stronger wind may move or disperse the smoke cloud more quickly.
White smoke is a suitable choice when a bright, neutral and clearly visible effect is required. It can also be combined with a red smoke generator to create a distinctive red-and-white visual composition.
White smoke generator with pull-pin activation
The MA0509-ZAW WHITE is mechanically activated using a pull pin. Before activation, place the product upright on a flat, stable and non-flammable surface. Activate it strictly according to the instructions printed on the product and immediately move to the required safety distance.
The pull-pin system removes the need to ignite a traditional fuse with a lighter. This does not mean that the generator may be held in the hand. Once activated, the product must not be touched, lifted, moved or directed towards people, animals, vehicles or buildings.
Single-sided white smoke emission
The MA0509-ZAW features single-sided emission. This means that white smoke is released from one end of the product only. Before activation, identify the smoke outlet and make sure the space above it is completely clear.
Single-sided emission makes it easier to plan the placement of several smoke generators. Each product must still be positioned separately on a stable surface and used with the safety distances specified by the manufacturer.
Main advantages of the white MA0509-ZAW

- emission time of approximately 40–50 seconds,
- practical pull-pin activation,
- single-sided smoke emission,
- 34 mm calibre,
- pyrotechnic category CE T1,
- transport classification ADR 1.4G,
- compact and easy-to-position construction,
- sold individually.
Applications of the white smoke generator
According to the product information for this series, the generator is intended for technical applications such as simulations and animal deterrence. It must be used only for the purpose indicated by the manufacturer and in accordance with the instructions printed on the specific product batch.
White smoke is often selected because of its neutral colour, strong contrast against dark backgrounds and the possibility of creating red-and-white compositions. Before using the product during filming, photoshoots, reconstructions or organised visual effects, always check local regulations and obtain any required permissions.
Other colours are available in the smoke products and smoke generators category. Products with a similar mechanical activation system are also available in the smoke products with pull-pin or friction activation category.
White smoke generator versus flares and signal lights
The main effect of the MA0509-ZAW is a large amount of white smoke. It does not produce the intense flame associated with flares and signal lights. When a strong light effect is the main priority, explore the flares and signal lights category.
A white smoke generator may be visually combined with a white or red flare. However, the products must be placed separately and used according to their individual instructions and required safety distances.

Safe use
Use the smoke generator only according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Before activation, place it upright on a stable, flat and non-flammable surface. Make sure there are no people, animals, vehicles or obstacles above the product or in the expected direction of the smoke.
Move away immediately after pulling the activation pin. Do not lean over the generator. Never use it in the hand, indoors, under a roof, near dry vegetation or in places where smoke could reduce visibility for drivers or other people.
Do not use the product during strong wind, drought or increased fire risk. Check the wind direction, local fire warnings and the regulations that apply at the chosen location before use.

PiroHiT expert advice
Before activation, always check the wind direction and choose a darker or colourful background against which the white smoke will remain clearly visible. Position the product upright on a stable, non-flammable surface, away from roads, buildings, dry vegetation and bystanders.
For a red-and-white effect, choose smoke generators with a similar operating time and position them at a suitable distance from one another. The CE marking, instructions and warnings printed on the specific product packaging must always take priority.
