Concept's smoke machines, with their class leading particle size and persistency, are ideally suited to creating realistic dense smoke concentrations suitable for confined space training, emergency evacuation and breathing apparatus training.
For large, heavily-used fixed training facilities, the ViCount system is normally recommended, as its running costs are dramatically lower than most other systems thanks to the incredible hang time of ViCount smoke. The ViCount requires an inert gas supply to operate (e.g. CO2 or Nitrogen cylinders) and after every operation, this gas is used to clean the filters and the heat exchanger, which means ViCounts are virtually maintenance free.
For other BA chambers, Aircraft Fuselages or Ship Training applications the Colt 4 Turbo or Spirit 900A would be recommended. These are simple, reliable smoke generators producing the most persistent water based smoke currently available.

"During nearly 20 years working with the fire brigade and as a fire consultant I have never come across a better smoke machine than the Colt 4.
We use it for training of our BA crews, we use it for training large companies to evacuate their personnel and we use it for training shipcrews to act right in a smoke filled environment.
The machine is light, easy to handle and it creates a tremendously good, persistent and realistic smoke!
THE COLT 4 SAVE LIVES!"

"Concept offer a fantastic after sales service whether it be maintenance courses or queries - fully satisfied. With my experience of dealing with Concept I find it difficult to see where improvements can be made as I feel 100% satisfied with the product, information and answers to any queries.
I feel that it gives a more realistic setting for difficult exercises, which improves the experience and motivation of students / crews. The only other way would be to use obstruction masks that take the realism out of any training.
I would like to add, having worked with Concept over the last 18months I have found it educational and the staff are a credit to the company. I would like to thank all the staff for the patience they have shown with dealing with my queries."
