Friction Smoke Generator Standard

The Standard friction smoke generator is the compact SORGO solution for small and medium-sized smoking and cooking systems with one to three trolleys. It can be integrated into the system or supplied separately.

How it works

A square block of smoking timber is pressed against a friction wheel under controlled pressure. The smoke is available immediately and is fed reproducibly to the process. Friction smoke suits frequent batch changes, from artisan production to industry.

1. Insert the smoking timber
2. Press it against the friction wheel under controlled pressure
3. Feed the smoke directly to the system

Technical features

• Smoke character: Clean, finely adjustable and highly reproducible
• Cleaning effort: Low
• Exhaust gas routing: Closed system; no additional exhaust gas treatment

Key features

• Specially hardened stainless steel friction wheel for low wear, long service life and fewer replacements
• Multi-block timber magazine for longer smoking phases with little operator effort
• Sound-insulated, vibration-isolated stainless steel housing for quiet, robust operation
• Monitored door, temperature-controlled extinguishing and integrated cleaning

Integration and retrofitting

Each SORGO smoke generator can be part of a new system or supplied separately to modernise existing SORGO systems or systems from other manufacturers. For retrofits it comes with its own SORGO sequence controller (SCS-RE-SE1) in a stainless steel cabinet, a defined interface to the existing control system and smoke intensity set directly on a compact touchscreen. The generator can stand beside the system, one level above or below, or in a separate technical room. Automatic protective sequences with integrated extinguishing are adapted to the installation and fire-protection concept, and the generator and stainless steel smoke paths are included in the automatic cleaning. With the SCS X1, the control runs the sequences of each generator configuration.

To meet the emission limits of TA Luft, SORGO designs the smoke generator, smoking chamber, exhaust air routing and, where needed, exhaust gas treatment as one complete system.
