The mechanical pump system is assembled entirely from high-quality aluminium and brass parts. All our pumps are subjected to a running-in procedure during manufacture, ensuring that the gears mesh perfectly, and that the pump is 100% leak-free. Tight manufacturing tolerances eliminate the need for a separate cut-off valve with the PowerBox Smokepump.

The electronic circuit is infinitely variable within the range 0% - 100%, allowing the pilot to fine-tune the flow rate to match the exact requirements of the model. The Smokepump can be powered either by a PowerBox or a separate battery.

If a separate battery is used, the electronic circuit switches to a "stand-by" mode if the receiver fails to pick up a signal. This means that it is not necessary to provide a separate switch to isolate the PowerBox Smokepump from the battery when you switch the model off.

The PowerBox Smokepump is available in a Standard version and a Jet version, the later with higher throughput and twin outlets.

The maximum flow rate of the Smokepump (Order No. 8010) is around 750 ml./min., while the Smokepump Jet (Order No. 8015) is capable of around 950 ml. The set includes all the necessary connecting leads and a length of heat-resistant hose. The standard set also contains a Y-piece which can be used to connect both silencers of an opposed-twin (boxer) engine.
