Description
PS23
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.
('Theatrical' systems' smoke particle size
are usually 3 - 5 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 for 240v or 110v
power (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
at full output 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 100%
output
In service with numerous fire authorities world-wide,
many military forces (including the USN for shipboard training),
as well as analytical laboratories, clean rooms (stainless
steel version available), spray booths, and HVAC contractors,
the Rocket smoke machines have a reputation for simplicity
of operation and reliability.
The smoke fluid is contained in convenient pre-pressurised canisters containing 100% naturally derived propellant (nitrogen gas). At full output, a single canister will provide a total of 15 minutes of smoke production in the 1.1kW Rocket, and around 8 minutes in the 2.2kW Rocket Turbo. There is no need to use the entire fluid canister up all at once - it reseals for use at a later date.
These units are ideal for when you require extremely
dense concentrations of smoke, or when large volumes need
to be filled with smoke. This is because the smoke produced
by the Rocket is very persistent - a number of times more
persistent than theatrical smoke machines - hanging in the air for an extended period of time unless vented. The ROCKET
TURBO is a high power version andgenerates
almost twice as much smoke volume per minute 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"
"Just filled up our workshop. Could hardly see the overhead lights. Our ‘professional’ fireman is well impressed as am I."
"The Pea Soup Rocket smoke machine is really good, we have been testing all the A/C ducting and have so many leaks!"
"The smoke from the Rocket was truly magnificent, very impressive indeed. Really nice density and reach and it seems to be detectable using my laser scanner."
"I wanted to take the time and tell you that the Rocket is an incredible machine! It really helps us for our testing! Thank you for guiding me in this purchase!"
THE
ROCKET from PEA SOUP
- SIMPLY UNBEATABLE!
Smoke particle size:
0.2 microns mmd - no residue, non-contaminating, suitable
for use (and widely used) in clean rooms. Warranty:
5 years on machine, lifetime on heater block. Smoke persistency: Water-based fluid hang time 1.5 hours + at 20C. Fluid efficiency:
One 381g aerosol gives around 15 minutes at full smoke
output in the 1.1kW Rocket, producing 180m3 of smoke per
minute at full output. Safety:
Non-toxic smoke, very efficient fluid use, tiny particle
size, no residue, inert gas in one-piece metal aerosols,
safety cut-outs.
The world's most compact 2.2kW smoke
generator in production Refuse inferior look-a-likes with contempt as spurious imitations.

DUCTING ADAPTORS
& HOSE
Ducting adaptors
25mm silicon lined flexible ducting hose
25mm neoprene flexible ducting hose
Available in three diameters:
25mm
50mm
75mm
A steel ducting adaptor (shown left) attaches to the front of the machine
to secure the position of the ducting hose inlet allowing
smoke to be positioned precisely, in hard to reach places, a distance away from the machine itself
or inside containers, fume cupboards, spray booths, etc.
All our ducting hoses are internally lined to be
smooth, thereby reducing frictional losses and smoke
particle impaction.
When ducting smoke, you are restricting
the smoke particles movement in a limited space and so deposition in the hose over time
is inevitable with any machine. But by using a Pea Soup
smoke machine and this type of hose, deposition is minimised.

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 effects, 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 being available. Higher ambient temperatures also make
the smoke disappear faster (at 30C the smoke is gone within
30 seconds), as does fast moving air. Note: You cannot use persistent Rocket Fuel
aerosols (above) in a Rocket QD machine because the machines
operate at different temperatures.
NB The Rocket QD is made to order and
can take around 5 days to build.
