Fireworks have been a symbol of celebration since long. The sparkling and colorful light and smoke that they produce and the unique sounds that they make, add the main ingredients of fun, cheer and amusement to our celebrations. Some of the most common fireworks include sparklers, smoke bombs, fly fish, super loud cannons and signal mortars. While all others produce either light or sound or both, the only fire work which produces only smoke is smoke bomb.

Want to know something more about this unique firework object?

Well, a smoke bomb, on ignition, emits colorful, harmless but dense smoke screens. It is used mostly for fireworks, air soft and paint ball games and many-a-times, even for pranks. One may have seen a smoke ball or a smoke candle. Well they both are nothing but types of smoke bombs. The main difference between the two lies in terms of their shapes and structures and the duration for which each of them produces smoke.

While a smoke ball is a hollow, cherry sized sphere of brightly colored clay or cardboard, producing smoke for up to 10 to 15 seconds, a smoke candle (also called a smoke generator or smoke canister) is a several inches long cylindrical cardboard tube with a fuse and it produces smoke for up to several minutes.

What seems most fascinating about a smoke bomb is the colorful smoke that it produces. One can find different smoke bombs producing different colors. Where does the colorful smoke come from? Well, the color in the smoke comes from a kind of organic dye, which evaporates from the chemical compound of the smoke bomb once the bomb is ignited. In fact, it is this evaporated dye which condenses after oozing out of the bomb and creates a smoke.

For a smoke bomb to produce colorful smoke, undoubtedly, the presence of dye in the chemical mixture is a must. However, what is must for the proper working of the smoke bomb in the first place, is efficient grinding and blending of all the constituents of its chemical mixture (including the organic dye) which can be done with the help of ball mills. A ball mill provides a much more efficient grinding and blending service than hand grinding and blending, using pestle and mortar. Not only this, a ball mill is also safer, since the chemicals to grounded, are explosive in nature. A ball mill is so useful for a firework maker that in today's times, it has become a necessity in every firework manufacturing factory.
