For over 60 years, Concept Smoke Systems has been at the forefront of artificial smoke generation, supporting military, naval, fire training, industrial and specialist users with safe, controllable and highly realistic smoke systems.
Established in 1965, Concept Smoke Systems is a UK designer and manufacturer of specialist artificial smoke, fog and aerosol systems used across military, maritime, fire training, industrial, cleanroom, security and special effects applications worldwide.
For naval damage control and shipboard fire training, Concept equipment helps create safe, controllable and highly realistic smoke-filled environments. Our systems allow crews to train in the conditions that matter most: restricted visibility, breathing apparatus drills, evacuation, search and rescue, compartment-to-compartment smoke spread, and the critical requirement to crash stop ventilation systems and close fire dampers to control smoke movement.
Concept’s maritime and defence range includes compact hand-held systems, battery-operated and portable mains-powered generators, high-output smoke systems, thermal aerosol generators, fans, ducting and specialist accessories. Products such as the Colt 4 Turbo and Spirit 900 are widely used for shipboard fire training, damage control exercises and large-volume smoke logging, from machinery spaces to hangar decks.
The Colt 4 Turbo has become a trusted choice for maritime fire training because it is compact, robust, simple to operate and capable of producing dense, controllable smoke on demand. Its “off power” capability allows operators to move between compartments without trailing electrical leads, while its fine particle size helps achieve realistic smoke conditions using lower fluid concentrations. NATO-codified options and consumables are available for military and naval users.
Concept systems are used by navies, coastguards, merchant fleets, cruise lines, fire services, training centres and industrial operators around the world. Known users of Concept equipment include the Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary, US Navy and US Coast Guard, Royal Australian Navy, Royal New Zealand Navy, Royal Netherlands Navy, Italian Navy, Hellenic Navy and others.
Manufactured in the UK under ISO 9001 quality systems, Concept equipment is built for demanding professional environments where reliability, repeatability and safety are essential. Alongside standard products, Concept offers technical advice, servicing, calibration, hire equipment, smoke testing support and bespoke design and manufacturing for specialist applications.
After six decades at the forefront of artificial smoke generation, Concept remains focused on one core purpose: helping organisations train, test and prepare more effectively by creating realistic smoke environments safely, reliably and on demand.
