B1 Smoke Machine

Concept Engineering have been at the forefront of artificial smoke generation technology since 1965. Specialising in systems to meet the rigorous requirements of the industrial, military, security and cleanroom industries. Providing the very highest quality product and customer service has always been of prime importance and a key factor maintaining Concept’s position at the forefront of artificial smoke generation technology. Concept have built up an enviable reputation for high quality, high performance smoke machines and gained unrivalled experience
The B1 is a robust and fully portable smoke system, operating from an on board 12vDC battery. Whilst not quite as tiny as the Air Trace smoke generator the B1 produces considerable amount of smoke for a battery powered smoke system.
- Instant, safe smoke on demand
- Virtually no warm up time
- 12v DC operation – no mains power required (battery operated)
- Up to 10 minutes operation at maximum smoke output
- Remote control, TIME-IT and DMX options available
- Switch mode charger (can be charged on 110v/230v)
B1 External Battery Lead
When using the B1 with your own external power source (e.g. car battery) you will need this connection lead. Using a larger car battery will allow longer running times. A 70Ah battery will provide enough power for approx. 2 hours of smoke. The lead comes as a complete ready to use kit – all you will need is the battery. B1-EBC1 = Complete system, ready to use/B1-EBC2 = simplified version (we recommend fusing appropriately).

B1 Radio Remote Control (OTC)
This radio remote control has a range of 100 metre’s (line of sight). It comes as a complete set including both the receiver and transmitter. The remote is set for momentary smoke. The Radio Remote Control is connected via the 3 pin XLR socket on the rear face of the smoke machine.

XRT Battery
Extra Run Time. Ultimate Portability. Engineered for Performance.
