Rocket Smoke Generators

Robust, portable smoke generators that really pack a punch!

Ideal for:

• air flow visualisation
• leak testing
• special effects
• smoke detector testing
• fire training

There are two types of machine available - one that makes smoke that disperses quickly (PS21), and one that makes long-lasting smoke (PS23).

The smoke generators are also available with two control options. The Basic option allows you to operate the unit off-mains power - you can produce a considerable amount of smoke 'off power' using the retained energy within the high mass heat exchanger, allowing you to carry the generator around, making smoke as required, without a trailing electrical lead. After being on mains for around 15 minutes, the smoke machine will generate large amounts of smoke for around 2.5 minutes whilst off power. There is also the Remote control option unit which comes with a remote control (but cannot be used off-power). These are two separate machines - you cannot attach a remote to the basic control machine retrospectively.

Connected to the mains, all these units can operate continuously at full output.

In service with numerous fire authorities world-wide, many NATO forces (including the USN for shipboard training), as well as analytical laboratories, pharmaceutical clean rooms and HVAC contractors, these smoke machines have a reputation for simplicity of operation and reliability.

These units are ideal for when you require extremely dense concentrations of smoke, or extremely large volumes need to be filled with smoke. This is because smoke produced is very persistent. The high power version generates even more smoke than the normal models and is one of the most powerful hand held smoke generators available today.

PS27 Dragon High Output (2.2kW) Smoke Generator

This high quality smoke generator is well suited to applications where continuous, high smoke output is required, since it utilises a modular peristaltic pump system rather than conventional, low cost piston pumps.

Using an MOV protected solid state relay for heater switching at zero volts, and a plug in electronic module, key components are not compromised in the other key areas within the system.

Ideal for:

• air flow visualisation
• leak testing
• fire safety training
• special effects

The pump draws smoke Fluid A (persistent) or smoke Fluid B (quickly dispersing) from its integral 2 litre reservoir (or an external reservoir also available), forcing it into the unique precision machined heat exchanger, where it is vaporised. On exiting the heat exchanger, the vapour condenses to form dense, white, non toxic smoke , with an incredibly consistent and small particle size of 0.2 - 0.3 micron. The smaller the particle size of the smoke, the lower its settling velocity (the rate at which a particle will fall, due to gravity). A smoke particle of 0.2 micron in diameter will fall at 8mm/hr, compared to a 2 micron particle, which falls at 468mm/hr. In essence this means that the smaller the particle of smoke you produce, the less chance there is that deposition of smoke particles will occur.

The machine was voted overall winner in Fire Professional magazine’s Back to Back 1999 smoke generator test, against 4 other leading brands.

The article describes its performance “overall, across the testing criteria, it scored heavily and consistently. It’s beautifully made, works well and from what we have seen here makes extremely efficient use of the fluid - a consumable that those of you who are acutely budget conscious will want to keep your eye on.”

We say you cannot buy a superior quality smoke machine than this. The quality of engineering that goes into this machine is unmatched in our industry.

Features:

• Can produce high quality smoke continuously at maximum output
• Variable output control (0 -> maximum)
• Can produce persistent smoke (Fluid A) or quickly dispersing smoke (Fluid B) as required*
• Plug-in electronic module

* machine requires minor manual adjustment on control panel to set different operating temperature. Instructions provided with unit.

Also available with external fluid pumping facility (PS27ER) for extended run time between refills.

Oil Based Smoke Generators

Probably the most effective smoke system available today

Ideal for:

• Hot fire training
• Leak testing
• Air flow testing

The smoke produced by our oil-based smoke generators can persist to 200°C before layering commences, making the unit ideal for hot fire training applications.

However, even if training or smoke logging in unheated conditions, the smoke produced will out-perform all conventional water based alternatives, whilst dramatically reducing the consumption of smoke chemical. Typically, users of water based glycol smoke systems can experience reductions of 80 - 90% in smoke chemical consumption, for similar if not better smoke densities.

With no routine maintenance required and a choice of heat exchanger capacities to suit fire training needs, it's no wonder fire training centres throughout the world have selected it as their primary smoke system.

Particle size is a consistent 0.2 - 0.3 microns in diameter, making the unit ideally suited to testing HEPA filtration.

Available as 230v or 110v
(please specify when ordering).

The oil based smoke machines are also ideally suited to leak and air flow testing for large applications. Their incredibly efficient fluid use (up to one tenth that of water based machines) and zero maintenance makes it ideal for fixed installations in theme parks and attractions. Oil-based smoke is very persistent compared to water-based types and therefore doesn't evaporate or layer even when filling large areas. And as it uses less fluid, the smoke produced is even safer.

We simply say, 'you cannot buy a superior smoke system!'

It is also possible to use the water-based smoke fluid from the PS27 Dragon in these units,
to generate smoke with a faster dispersal rate.
