The CONCEPT SMOKE VICOUNT 1300 : 2.2KW is a professional-grade, oil-based smoke generator, designed by Concept Smoke Systems. It is known for producing a persistent, non-toxic, and food-quality artificial smoke, which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, especially in environments where safety and reliability are paramount.

Key Features

• Oil-Based Smoke: Unlike conventional water-based smoke machines, the ViCount 1300 uses an oil-based fluid. This results in an extremely persistent smoke that is resistant to high temperatures, making it ideal for hot fire training and other high-temperature environments (up to 200°C). The smoke does not evaporate like water-based systems and is unaffected by turbulent air streams.
• High Efficiency and Low Consumption: The ViCount is highly efficient, using a fraction of the fluid (typically 80-90% less) compared to water-based systems to achieve similar or better smoke densities. This reduces operating costs and makes it more environmentally friendly.
• Safety: The smoke produced by the ViCount is non-toxic and has been tested by various safety organizations. This is a crucial feature for its primary use in fire training and other scenarios where dense smoke concentrations are needed.
• Particle Size: It produces a consistent, sub-micron particle size (typically 0.2-0.3 microns in diameter), which is ideal for a variety of technical applications, including:
  • Airflow Visualization: Used in wind tunnels and other settings to visualize air currents and air movement.
  • Leak Testing: Effective for large-scale leak testing in buildings, tunnels, and pipework.
  • HEPA Filter Testing: The small particle size makes it well-suited for challenging HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters.
• Design and Technology:
  • Automatic Purge System: The machine features an automatic purge system that clears any remaining smoke fluid after each operation. This makes it virtually maintenance-free and prevents carbonization in the heat exchanger.
  • Lifetime Warranty: The precision-machined heat exchanger is guaranteed for life.
  • Digital Controls: It includes digital temperature control with solid-state switching for precise and reliable operation.
  • Versatility: The ViCount 1300 can be configured for various outputs (standard and high-output variants with 1100W or 2200W heat exchangers) and is available with options for remote control or DMX integration.
  • Inert Gas Carrier: The oil-based smoke is entrained in an inert carrier gas stream, typically CO2 or Nitrogen, which is supplied via a cylinder and regulator.
