VICO Smoke Genrator
CORDLESS SMOKE GENERATOR FOR WORKPLACE FIRE SAFETY TRAINING
HAAGEN smoke generators are known for withstanding the most demanding firefighter training. Now our range of smoke generators has been expanded to include the cordless, portable VICO smoke generator.
VICO produces thick, dry smoke of high quality without any residue. With a heat-up time of one to two seconds, the VICO is ready to use at the touch of a button. With the built-in start button in the handle, the VICO can be operated with one hand.
The VICO produces up to 150 m3 of smoke per minute. The smoke density can be adjusted manually, and the VICO can produce smoke continuously for 20 minutes or much longer when smoke is generated in bursts.
With the remote control (wireless or wired) the VICO can be controlled at a distance. A Wi-Fi module also allows the VICO to be controlled from a laptop, tablet or smartphone.
ADVANTAGES OF VICO SMOKE GENERATOR
Cordless: The VICO smoke generator is powered by a battery, which makes it ideal for training at locations where power isn’t available or easily accessible.
Portable: The VICO’s built-in battery gives instructors a simple way to use smoke in confined spaces or vehicles and at outdoor training locations.
Virtually no heat-up time: The VICO heats smoke fluid to the required temperature within two seconds, which makes this smoke generator good to go at a moment’s notice. The VICO is ready to use at the touch of a button, without loss of training time.
The smoke maintains the same high quality from start to finish.
Lightweight: The VICO weighs less than 8 kg, including the smoke fluid, which makes the smoke generator ideal for use with one hand.
Long-lasting battery: This smoke generator can provide 20 minutes of continuous smoke on a single battery charge. When smoke is produced in bursts, the battery life is many times longer.
The battery can easily be swapped on location, so there is no need to interrupt the training.
Easy to use: The machine is ready to start at the press of a button, and its light weight makes it easy to handle. The VICO is easy to set up and requires no configuration. Users can choose how often smoke is produced and at what density. This makes the VICO ideal for spaces where less smoke is acceptable to desirable.
Wi-Fi: With the Wi-Fi module the VICO can be controlled via a laptop computer, tablet or smartphone.
Affordable: The VICO is an affordable and durable smoke generator that is very useful even for smaller training scenarios.
TRAINING POSSIBILITIES
Exercises with vehicles
Place the VICO in hidden spaces and vehicles for realistic practice situations with simulated fire or entrapment in vessels and vehicles.
Rescue and evacuation drills with smoke
Fill various rooms with smoke and teach trainees to locate and evacuate victims in poor visibility conditions.
Fill several rooms with smoke (or add extra smoke)
Quickly fill locations with dense smoke for rescue exercises. Easily add extra smoke to additional rooms or floors at any time.
Add realism to maritime and aviation training
Create a no-visibility environment in seconds in which trainees learn what it’s like to wear a mask.
Training in confined spaces and/or areas without power
Create scenarios for firefighter training in areas without electricity, outdoors or at locations where large amounts of smoke are not an option.
Train recognition and response to potential danger
Simulate a hazardous or emergency situation and teach trainees to recognize danger and how to respond in specific situations
