Code Description
PS23 ROCKET - 1.1kW persistent smoke machine
PS25 ROCKET TURBO - 2.2kW persistent smoke machine

Operation:

  • Basic version & remote version (both on-board operation, off power, or remote)
  • Particle size 0.2 - 0.3 micron, mass median diameter - the smallest particle size of any smoke machine. ('Disco' systems' smoke particle size can be anything up to 60 microns - a human hair is approx 100 microns). Fog produced by the heat exchanger in the Rocket has been subject to particle size analysis by the UK Atomic Energy Authority.

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

Smoke Hang Time (at 20C)
1.5 hours +

Two control options available:

Basic - no remote (button on handle)
Remote - with button on handle AND remote control on 5m cable

You can produce lots of smoke 'off power' allowing you to carry the generator around, making smoke as required, without a trailing electrical lead. After being on mains for at least 15 minutes, the smoke machine can generate large amounts of smoke for up to 2 minutes within a 20 minute window after being unplugged.

The remote control version can be used with the handle-mounted button when off-power, but not with the remote control (which needs power).

When connected to mains power, the Rocket can operate continuously at full output
using the push button on the handle.

In service with numerous fire authorities world-wide, many military forces (including the USN for shipboard training), as well as analytical laboratories, clean rooms, spray booths, and HVAC contractors, the Rocket 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 ROCKET TURBO is a high power version and generates almost twice as much smoke as the standard model - it's one of the most powerful hand held smoke generators available today.

User comment: "This is a cool machine. I used the machine in one of my outbuildings. Very impressive indeed. The room is 20' x 10' x 8'. You couldn't see 3' after a 30 second burst."

THE ROCKET from PEA SOUP -- SIMPLY UNBEATABLE !
  Smoke particle size (0.2 microns mmd - no residue, non-contaminating, suitable for use in clean rooms)
Warranty (5 years on machine, lifetime on heater block)
Smoke persistency (water-based fluid hang time 1.5 hours + at 20C)
Fluid efficiency (one 381g aerosol lasts around 18 minutes at full smoke output in the 1.1kW Rocket, producing 180m3 smoke per minute at full output)
Safety (non toxic smoke, tiny particle size, no residue, inert gas in aerosols, safety cut-outs)

  Overseas ordering of pre-pressurised smoke fluid aerosols

The box of 10 smoke fluid aerosols are pre-pressurised, which means they cost more to ship overseas than a normal container of fluid as they are classed as 'hazardous'. To lower the cost of shipping and further reduce running costs of your smoke machine, we can supply a refillable canister option. Instead of using the pre-pressurised aerosols, re-fillable aerosol cans can simply be pressurised by a hand pump, airline (e.g. in a garage forecourt) or inert gas supply. You simply buy our refillable can and a 5 litre container of our smoke fluid which will fill the can around 14 times. It is possible to re-fill the same can up to 100 times. You can, of course, purchase any number of 5 litre containers at the time of your order.

The ROCKET QD - Quick Dispersing Smoke Generator


Video of Rocket QD smoke machine in action, with ducting and fan for steam line effects


The ROCKET QD which looks and works in the same way as the ROCKET machines above, produces an even thicker, whiter smoke but which dissipates within a couple of minutes. This machine is mainly used for special effects for smoke that needs to disperse quickly and not smoke log a location (e.g. theatre, steam FX, TV). It's also ideal for photo shoots. By using it with a fan, a superb steam / CO2 blast effect can be created (increasing air movement increases rate of smoke dissipation). It is also used by some hospitals for their fire safety evacuation training where they need a thick smoke effect, but when the smoke must disperse after the test without ventilation available.
Note: You cannot use persistent Rocket Fuel aerosols (above) in a Rocket QD machine because the machines operate at different temperatures.
