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 comments:
"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."
"I purchased your Rocket smoke machine
for the testing of our spray booths and was amazed by the amount
of smoke produced from such a compact unit. It is simple to
use and with the smoke fluid in pre-filled cans, clean as well.
These days it's not often you can say you're impressed with
a product, but I am truly impressed! Thank you"

DUCTING ADAPTORS
& HOSE
 |
Ducting adaptors attach
to the front of the machine to allow secure connection
of ducting hose to allow smoke to be positioned precisely,
in hard to reach places or inside containers.
All our ducting hoses are now internally lined to be
smooth thereby reducing frictional losses. When you
duct smoke, you are restricting the smoke particles
so deposition in the hose over time is inevitable. Using
this machine and this type of hose, deposition is minimised. |

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.

QD - Quick Dispersing Smoke Generator

QD PDF Brochure |

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. Higher ambient temperatures also make
the smoke disappear faster (at 30C the smoke is gone within
30 seconds).
Note: You cannot use persistent Rocket Fuel
aerosols (above) in a Rocket QD machine because the machines
operate at different temperatures.
