Order code Description
PS23 1.1kW persistent smoke machine
PS25 2.2kW persistent smoke machine, turbo version

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 of our machines. (Theatrical systems' smoke particle size can be anything up to 60 microns - a human hair is approx 100 microns).

Remote model is supplied with
5 metre remote control

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

Model Smoke Hang Time (at 20C)
PS23 / PS25 1.5 hours approx.

Two control options available:

Basic - no remote
Remote - with remote control

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 around 15 minutes, the smoke machine will generate large amounts of smoke for up to 2 minutes within 30 minutes after being unplugged.

The remote control unit can be used off-power with the on-board button, but not with the remote control.

Connected to mains power, all machines 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, clean rooms, asbestos removal specialists, 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 (PS25) generates even more smoke than the normal model and is 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."

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 (£24.00) and a 5 litre container of our smoke fluid (£45.00) 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.

Also available: PS21 Quick Dispersing Smoke Generator

The PS21 which works in exactly the same way as the PS23 machine mentioned above, but produces a smoke which dissipates in a few minutes at 20C. This machine is mainly used by special effects people for smoke that needs to disperse quickly and not smoke log a location. By using it with a fan, a steam effect can be created (increasing air movement increases rate of smoke evaporation). 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.
