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.
Direct comparison of smoke principles
| Smoke principle | Operating principle | Flavour / smoke character | Typical application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friction smokeSquare timber | Controlled friction on a smoking timber block | Clean, finely adjustable and highly reproducible | Frequent batch changes – from artisan production to industry |
| Smouldering smokeSmoking sawdust and fine wood shavings | Controlled smouldering of smoking sawdust | Traditional, aromatic and flexible | Traditional hot- and cold-smoking applications |
| Wood-chip smokeWood chips | Automated thermal conversion of wood chips | Very high smoke density and strong aroma | Strong smoke profiles, high utilisation and centralised concepts |
| Steam smokeWood chips | Steam-assisted, controlled smoke generation | Very high smoke density and strong aroma | High smoke density and project-specific processes |
| Liquid smokeLiquid smoke concentrate | Recipe-controlled dosing of smoke condensate | Uniform application with precise dosing | Standardised processes and rapid product changes |
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.
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.

01Standard
Compact friction smoke solution for small and medium-sized smoking and cooking systems.- System size
- 1–3 trolleys
- Supply configuration
- Integrated or separate
02Industrial
High-performance industrial version for multi-trolley systems and high utilisation.- System size
- From 4 trolleys
- Supply configuration
- Integrated or separate
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.
- Smoking material
- Smoking sawdust and fine wood shavings
01Junior
Compact smouldering smoke generator for systems with up to three trolleys.- System size
- 1–3 trolleys
- Supply configuration
- Integrated or separate
02Industrial
Industrial version for larger systems – available in rectangular or round construction.- System size
- From 4 trolleys
- Supply configuration
- Integrated or separate
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.
- Smoking material
- Wood chips
01Junior
Compact wood-chip version for one to three trolleys and a strong smoke character.- System size
- 1–3 trolleys
- Supply configuration
- Integrated or separate
02Industrial
Robust industrial version for multi-trolley systems, high smoke density and centralised concepts.- System size
- From 4 trolleys
- Supply configuration
- Integrated or separate
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.
- Smoking material
- Wood chips
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.
Simple connection
A defined interface connects the smoke generator to the existing system controls.
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.
Flexible installation
Beside the system, one level above or below, or in a separate technical room.
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.
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.
All smoke principles
Friction, smouldering, wood-chip, steam and liquid smoke from a project-specific selection.
Flexible installation
Beside the system, one level above or below, or in a separate technical room.
Automatic pipe cleaning
Smoke generators and project-specific stainless steel smoke pipework are cleaned together.
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.
Smoke principle
Friction, smouldering, wood-chip, steam or liquid smoke matched to the product and desired result.
Installation & smoke path
Integrated, beside, above or below the system, or in a separate technical room.
New or existing system
As part of a new SORGO system or supplied separately to modernise existing SORGO systems and other manufacturers' systems.
