Smoke generators

FRICTION · SMOULDERING · WOOD CHIP · STEAM · LIQUID

Tailored smoke character – with flexible installation planning.

From friction smoke to central wood-chip supply: SORGO selects the generator, smoke capacity and pipework to suit the product and building. Stainless steel smoke paths are integrated into the automatic cleaning concept.

THE FIVE SMOKE PRINCIPLES

First the smoke principle. Then the right smoke generator.

Flavour, smoke character and process determine the smoke principle. Then select the right smoke generator for your system.

SMOKE GENERATORS BY SMOKE PRINCIPLE

Every smoke principle. The right technical solution.

Select the right smoke generator within your chosen smoke principle. Capacity, integration and safety are adapted to the operation.

01

Controlled friction on a smoking timber block

Friction smoke

A square timber block is pressed against a friction wheel in a controlled manner. The resulting smoke is immediately available and can be supplied reproducibly to the process.

02

Controlled smouldering of smoking sawdust

Smouldering smoke

Smoking sawdust is made to smoulder under controlled conditions. This proven principle produces traditional, aromatic wood smoke and suits a wide range of products.

03

Automated thermal conversion of wood chips

Wood-chip smoke

Specified wood chips are automatically dosed and thermally converted under controlled conditions. The system delivers high smoke density and a distinctly strong smoke character.

04

Steam-assisted, controlled smoke generation

Steam smoke

Wood chips and steam are combined in a controlled process. The result is high smoke density with precisely controlled smoke character.

05

Recipe-controlled dosing of smoke condensate

Liquid smoke

Liquid smoke concentrate is precisely dosed and introduced into the process under recipe control. The method enables highly uniform results and rapid product changes without traditional wood combustion.

RETROFITTING & MODERNISATION

New smoking technology. Keep using your existing system.

Every SORGO smoke generator can be supplied separately and connected to existing SORGO systems or other manufacturers' systems. This enables targeted modernisation of smoking technology without replacing the entire system.

01

Dedicated sequence controller

Supplied with SORGO sequence controller in a stainless steel cabinet.

02

Simple connection

A defined interface connects the smoke generator to the existing system controls.

03

Individual smoke intensity

Direct adjustment on the compact touchscreen.

SORGO SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Smoke generator, smoke path and safety are planned as one system.

Location, stainless steel pipework, extinguishing and safety functions, cleaning and connection to process controls are matched to the actual building and production layout.

01

Flexible installation

Beside the system, one level above or below, or in a separate technical room.

02

Extinguishing and safety system

Automatic safety functions monitor operation and trigger defined protective sequences, including integrated extinguishing, in critical conditions. The configuration is adapted to the smoke generator, installation and fire protection concept.

03

Automatic cleaning

Generators and project-specific stainless steel smoke paths are included in the cleaning concept.

EMISSIONS & TA LUFT

The entire smoking installation is decisive.

To meet the applicable emission requirements of TA Luft, we consider and design the smoke generator, smoking chamber, exhaust air routing and, where necessary, exhaust gas treatment as a complete system. Appropriately designed SORGO systems meet these requirements during intended operation.

SORGO ENGINEERING

Technology that creates measurable added value.

01

All smoke principles

Friction, smouldering, wood-chip, steam and liquid smoke from a project-specific selection.

02

Flexible installation

Beside the system, one level above or below, or in a separate technical room.

03

Automatic pipe cleaning

Smoke generators and project-specific stainless steel smoke pipework are cleaned together.

04

From standalone unit to central supply

Compact generators and powerful systems serving multiple chambers.

TECHNICAL DESIGN

Sizes and capacities in a clear overview.

Smoke principle, product, system volume, desired smoke character, installation location, smoke path, safety and cleaning determine the detailed configuration. Unconfirmed capacity values are not assumed in advance.

01

Smoke principle

Friction, smouldering, wood-chip, steam or liquid smoke matched to the product and desired result.

02

Installation & smoke path

Integrated, beside, above or below the system, or in a separate technical room.

03

New or existing system

As part of a new SORGO system or supplied separately to modernise existing SORGO systems and other manufacturers' systems.

CONTROL & PROCESS DOCUMENTATION

SORGO SCS X1 – your processes under control.

Intuitive operation on a 15.6-inch industrial touchscreen, storable programmes and precise process control. Also discover SORGO INSPECT for central documentation and optional remote operation via smartphone or tablet.

Smoke generation, smoke path, safety and cleaning are controlled to suit the supplied or retrofitted configuration.

TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS

Your system is developed around your process.

Capacity, product, trolley format, energy supply, room layout and level of automation determine the solution. SORGO plans every system for the actual operating workflow – including controls, smoke system, cleaning, documentation, installation and commissioning.
