Welcome to the Concept Smoke Systems website. Whether you need high temperature oil based smoke machines for hot fire training applications, or water based smoke generators for security, leak testing or air visualisation Concept Smoke can help you. |
Non toxic smoke, portable smoke systems, fixed smoke installations and design and build expertise all come as standard at Concept Smoke Systems. If you have a need for a smoke machine, aerosol generator, smoke generator or fog machine just talk to us! |
Smoke is the perfect medium for discovering where leaks are and how big they are!

see more >The air tightness or leakage rate of a building is the uncontrolled flow of air through holes, gaps and cracks in the fabric of a building, which may not be detectable simply by looking at the outside of the building.
see more >Making smoke in a very open environment or external environment can be a challenging! An oil-based smoke generator, such as a ViCount system, can produce dramatically more artificial smoke than multiple water based systems.
see more >Incredibly easy-to-use. Their off-power capability makes them portable, extremely versatile and ideal for confined space/evacuation training, flow visualisation, etc.
Smoke Generators >The preferred system of major training centres worldwide. Producing a temperature resistant smoke ideal for hot training, hot smoke simulations & large scale testing, ViCount smoke is intrinsically biodegradable.
ViCount Smoke Generators >Winner of "Fire Professionals Smoke Machine Comparison Test". Simple to use, continuously rated, and capable of filling large volumes, if required.
Spirit 900 Smoke Machines >Small, light-weight and battery powered. The Air Trace is great for applications where only a minimal amount of smoke is required such as air tracing.
Air Trace Smoke Machine >More powerful than the Air Trace. This compact yet robust smoke generator is particularly helpful if you want to "top up" smoke produced from a conventional system on an ad-hoc basis.
see B1 Smoke Machine >When no outside venting is feasible, smoke scrubbers can remove Concept smoke from the air.

The machine has performed flawlessly up to this point and I purchased the machine from you at least six or seven years ago.
I have to confess I have never cleaned the orifice with the drill as you mentioned.
Actually, after the install, I have never worked on the machine again which, I am sure, is at least neglect on my part.
We originally had two smoke generators in the trainer, one fore and one aft. The other machine (not Concepts) is quite a bit older
and it quit about two years ago but we found that the ViCount generated so much smoke we did not really need two machines.
The machine is protected from the heat of the trainer by a bulkhead with a port for the smoke to get through.
To give you an idea of the efficiency and quantity and the character of the smoke, the ceiling temperature inside the trainer as verified by two gauges reaches about 1300 degrees F. The smoke level inside the trainer is maintained quite adequately from the floor to about the
four and one half foot level but not much higher due to the temperature. We have found that it burns off at about 450 degrees F (230C).
Your smoke machine has trained hundreds of line Firefighters from all over the US including from major metropolitan Fire Departments such as Los Angeles County Fire, Pasadena Fire, San Jose Fire, Las Vegas Fire, Oakland Fire, Berkeley Fire, Sacramento Metro Fire, Cal Fire, and many federal agencies as well.
The training and experience those fire fighters receive in the intense heat and disorientingly smoky environment the ViCount helps create has without question saved lives and injuries as well as millions of dollars of property damage that may have occurred without the level of training
the ViCount helps provide.
Thank you for your help and support.
