Code 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 and generates 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.

PS25 Rocket Turbo 2.2kW unit in use off-power

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

Smoke machine ducting adaptors
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 - Quick Dispersing Smoke Generator



Rocket QD PDF Brochure

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.
