SCS | Smoking & Vaping Machine
The SCS
The Cambustion SCS is a highly flexible smoking and vaping machine compatible with combustible cigarettes (tobacco, cannabis) and e-cigarettes / vaporizers. The SCS's flexibility and high repeatability make it ideally suited for both product development applications (including e-cigarette, vaporizers and heat not burn devices) and Quality Control applications such as cannabis pre-rolls.
Product Development
The SCS is widely used in the development of combustibles (including blunts and pre-rolls), e-cigarettes and vaporisers.
The user is afforded complete flexibility with regard to puff volume, repeat frequency and flow rate. Standard regimes such as FTC, ISO 3308, ISO 20768 and Heath Canada intense are pre-programmed, and users can generate custom regimes.
The SCS is supplied as a complete standalone system, while an API offers easy integration of the SCS with other equipment if desired.
Optional user thermocouples allow recording of temperatures inside the device under development such as coil/wick or vape aerosol temperatures.
Recording of all operational parameters including flow rate, puff volume and pressure drop (for clog detection) ensures excellent traceability even over long term projects.
Collection of aerosol with gas bags, cold traps, liquid impingers or quartz filters for chemical analysis, e.g. GC-MS or HPLC.
Collection of gas and aerosol from individual puffs (or a sequence of puffs) in a gas bag is supported. Subsequent solvent extraction from the gas bag allows analysis of species of interest including THC, CBD, CBDA, CBN, THCA and more on a puff-by-puff basis.
Access to realtime aerosol for online analysis- e.g. for particle size, concentration, cell exposure studies.
The SCS is available with a fully programmable actuator, providing control of manually triggered devices.
Quality Control
The SCS is also used in Quality Control (QC) applications for both electronic and combustible products.
Clog detection
With combustible products such as tobacco or cannabis, packing density and leaf characteristics may vary, causing changes in pressure drop and burn characteristics.
During burning of cannabis pre-rolls, resins may deposit and cause a rapid increase in pressure drop - perceived by users as unacceptable clogging. The SCS applies repeatable tests while recording pressure drop with high accuracy, allowing you to validate complaints of clogging, test batches before dispatch to ensure performance and confirm the effectiveness of production changes.
With combustibles, e-cigarettes and vaporisers, the SCS provides a convenient method for batch sampling of devices to validate correct operation.
Standalone or integrated
The SCS is supplied as a complete standalone system, while an API offers easy integration of the SCS with other equipment if desired.
Sample collection
Collection of gas and aerosol from individual puffs (or a sequence of puffs) in a gas bag is supported. Subsequent solvent extraction from the gas bag allows analysis of species of interest including THC, CBD, CBDA, CBN, THCA and more on a puff-by-puff basis.
Recording of all operational parameters including flow rate, puff volume and pressure drop ensures excellent traceability.
