SG4000™ Smoke Generator

• Consistent and continuous smoke generation - Produces constant flow of high quality training smoke with no recharging or reheating necessary
• Durable and rugged - Built on a steel chassis with all metal structural components
• Portable - Easily moved to various areas of any facility where training is being conducted
• Dense smoke - Specially-formulated LION Smoke Liquid efficiently produces dense, thick smoke with extended hang time
• No smoke residue - Consistent temperatures keep the smoke from becoming “wet” and producing a residue
• Wireless operation - Control the output and duration of smoke from a distance away from the evacuation area or for use in an HVAC system with the optional wireless control
• Ventilation Training - Continuous high-density smoke, equal in quantity to smoke produced by a structure fire, allows every member of your department hands-on practice with hydraulic, PPV, horizontal and vertical ventilation
• Search & Rescue Training - Create a variety of smoke settings from low to zero visibility to find victims during search and rescue or thermal imaging drills. Incorporate a LION SmartDummy rescue manikin into the evolution and create a realistic sense of urgency as the SmartDummy calls out for help
• Large Area Search Training - Saturate a training environment with high density smoke in the time it takes your firefighters to don their gear
• Mask Confidence Training - Train firefighters in zero visibility conditions to test their awareness and confidence of the PPE gear
• FAST/RIT Combat Training - Train firefighters to locate and retrieve downed firefighters in a realistic scenario involving smoke

How It Works
High Quality Training Smoke There are two major factors that affect training smoke quality: temperature and particle size. The uniform temperature inside the heating core ensures that the smoke fluid is vaporized into pure smoke. Temperatures that are too high result in burnt particles and temperatures that are too low result in a “wet” smoke that leaves a residue. Particle size is what determines the density and “hang time” of smoke. The more uniform the particle size, the longer the training smoke will last before dissipating.

The LION Difference
Traditional Smoke Machines All smoke machines create smoke by pumping smoke liquid through heaters. As heat energy is transferred from the heaters to the smoke liquid, the heaters inevitably cool down. Once below a certain temperature smoke can no longer be generated, which is why smoke machines not designed for fire training need time to reheat and recharge between discharges. To extend operating time, these smoke machines often start at a higher-than optimal temperature, resulting in burnt particles. As smoke is generated, the heater temperature falls through the optimal range to below optimal resulting in “wet” smoke that leaves a residue. The smoke liquid is then cut off to give the heaters time to recover.

LION Smoke Generators are different. Instead of a constant flow of smoke liquid and a wide range of heater temperatures, LION Smoke Generators control the amount of liquid delivered to the heaters to precisely balance the heat transfer, ensuring a constant temperature and a constant supply of high quality smoke. This balance is achieved through advanced sensors and controls utilized by LION Smoke Generators. This technology not only provides a continuous supply of smoke, but also ensures the highest quality smoke possible with minimal burnt or un-vaporized particles.
