Concept Smoke Systems have been producing smoke machines for almost 50 years and have manufactured specific aerosol generators for cleanrooms for a majority of that time. We are the most experienced artificial smoke manufacturer in the world.
Concepts VC Aero 5000 & 1300 have been adapted for the use in cleanrooms and laboratories. The VC Aero is a derivative of Concept's bestselling ViCount smoke system. We have used the ViCount's ability to produce an aerosol with a continuous particle size of just 0.2mmd micron and adapted the units flow control to deliver a continuous low output of aerosol with virtually no pulsing effect. It is the perfect tool for testing HEPA filters and ULPA filtration systems to EN-ISO 14644-3. Other uses of the VC Aero include airflow visualisation, recovery rate, particle size determination and leak testing. The aerosol generator is capable of using the recognised UK or FDA approved smoke oils (such as Emery 3004, Durasyn 164, Concept smoke oil135 - which is identical equivalent to Ondina EL, & also Ondina 919). Concept's smoke oils are intrinsically biodegradable liquid paraffin's complying with British Pharmacopoeia for liquid mineral hydrocarbons and with the Statutory Instrument 1073 mineral hydrocarbons in food Act. Pass the UV absorption requirements of DABIII and USPXXX. The VC Aero is in service with numerous organisations in the pharmaceutical, clean room, laboratories and nuclear industries worldwide.
The VC Aero comes with a Digital Temperature PID controller pulses heat into the unit as main set point is being reached, minimising overshoot and undershoot. The dual colour display shows actual and set temperature continuously. The unit is available in 3 heat exchanger sizes so, there is a version of the VC Aero generator to suit all needs, from the smallest fume cupborad to the biggest in line duct system. Concept also offer a more compact version of the VC Aero with a reservoir size of just 1.3Ltr as opposed to the larger 5Ltr version dependent on the size and the kind of smoke tests that are being carried out.
Concept will provide certification of conformity, PAT testing and the aerosol generator will be calibrated to your individual needs. Also as standard Concept offer an unbeatable warranty on the entire Clean Room Solutions range:
- 10 Years parts warranty (UK only)
- Lifetime heat block warranty

"We have been using the ViCount unit now for some time as our main method of generating smoke for air leakage path identification as part of building airtightness tests.
The speed at which the unit builds smoke is very impressive and consistently in line with the guidance given by yourselves.
The nature and density of the smoke produced proves very effective when observed from outside the building giving sufficient time for and allowing easy observation of emerging smoke and leakage paths. The very persistent effect has allowed us to test buildings with volumes up to 40,000 m3 with just two units.
The very dry nature of smoke (i.e. small particle size) has meant that there have been no instances of contamination of the buildings following the test.
We have found the continuing technical support provided by Concept to be prompt and effective in answering queries and allowing us to get the most out of our equipment."
