The portable smoke machine
The Spirit 900 smoke generator has a protected solid state relay for heater switching at zero volts. This unique smoke machine uses precision machined heat exchangers for dense white smoke production.
- Continuously rated
- Can produce persistent (Fluid A) or quickly dispersing smoke (Fluid B) as required
- Precision, machined heat exchanger, guaranteed for life!
- Integral 2 litre reservoir, with sightglass
- Digital Microprocessor Controller, splashproof switches and indicators
- Solid State Switching
- Peristaltic Pump

The Spirit 900 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 a protected solid state relay for heater switching at zero volts, an IP65 rated digital microprocessor temperature control displaying actual and set temperatures, and splashproof switches and indicators the Spirit 900 does not compromise in the quality of the components used within the system. The temperature of the heat exchanger is PID controlled so that the heat is pulsed as main set point is reached, minimising overshoot and undershoot.
The pump draws Smoke Fluid A (persistent) or Smoke Fluid B (quickly dispersing) from its integral 2 litre reservoir (or an external reservoir if specified), forcing it into Concept's 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 mmd.
All Spirit 900s are supplied with a 5 metre remote control.
The Spirit 900 was voted overall winner in Fire Professional magazine’s Back to Back smoke generator test, against 4 other leading brands. They concluded that:
"So the Concept Engineering Spirit 900 wins". The article goes on to describe the 900's 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."
