The importance of adequate ventilation
Adequate ventilation in the kitchen is essential to ensure a clean and healthy environment for both staff and customers. The kitchen exhaust hood plays a crucial role in removing unwanted fumes, vapours and odours, thus improving the air quality in the working environment.
This equipment has a filter system that captures fumes and fatty vapours, preventing their concentration in the extractor and their release to the outside. It also has a grease collection tray for easy cleaning and maintenance of the system.
By capturing and removing suspended grease particles, the cooker hood helps to keep kitchen surfaces and equipment clean, making cleaning easier and reducing the risk of fire.
In professional environments, such as restaurants or catering, an industrial extractor hood is mandatory according to food safety regulations. Compliance with these regulations is essential to ensure public health and safety, as well as to avoid possible sanctions.
Fume extractors are essential tools for keeping a kitchen clean and free of unpleasant odours, contributing to a more comfortable working environment for cooks and the rest of the team. With proper ventilation, food quality is ensured, health problems are avoided and the customer experience in catering establishments is improved.
Types of extractor hoods for industrial kitchens
When it comes to installing a fume extraction system in an industrial kitchen, customisation and design are key aspects to consider. The extractor hoods are the centrepiece of this system and can be adapted according to the specific needs of each kitchen.
Here are some common installation and design options that can meet the diverse needs of an industrial kitchen:
- Island cooker hoods: They offer an elegant and functional solution for kitchens with a central layout. Made of steel or aluminium, these hoods efficiently absorb air and fumes, providing adequate ventilation throughout the space.
- Wall-mounted extractor hoods, with or without motor: Wall-mounted extractor hoods are a versatile option to suit various kitchen configurations. They can be installed with or without a built-in motor, depending on the specific ventilation needs and the design of the space.
- Vapour hood: Designed to capture vapours and odours generated by cooking. They are ideal for kitchens that use cooking techniques that generate a large amount of steam, such as steaming or boiling.
- Condensation hood for electric ovens: These condensation hoods capture and condense the steam generated during the cooking process, preventing the accumulation of moisture in the environment and maintaining a more comfortable and safer working environment.
- Exhaust hoods without flue: For those locations where it is not possible to install an exhaust duct to the outside, exhaust hoods without flue offer an effective solution. They use activated carbon filters to purify the air and remove odours before recirculating it back into the kitchen.
The installation of an industrial extractor hood must be adapted to the specific features of the kitchen and the characteristics of the environment in which it is located. The quality, size and complexity of the installation will determine the price. It is best to schedule an appointment so that we can assess the project and make a tailor-made quotation.
Our specialised ventilation system engineers carry out careful calculations and customised projects to ensure an efficient and safe installation. From conception to implementation, including the acquisition of permits and the execution of works, we take care of every stage of the process to provide you with a comprehensive solution tailored to your requirements.
Parts of an extraction hood
Cooker hoods are made up of several fundamental parts that ensure their efficient and effective operation. By knowing the main parts of an extractor hood, you will be able to better understand how it works, identify any problems and ensure a clean and healthy environment in your kitchen.
- Extraction pipe: This pipe is essential for directing fumes and vapours to the outside. For optimal installation, it is important to choose a resistant material such as stainless steel and to adjust the tube diameter to the extraction capacity of the hood. Keeping the pipe short and straight, with thermal insulation if necessary, ensures efficient extraction and prevents blockages.
- Extractor motor: This is the heart of the hood, responsible for extracting air and odours from the kitchen. Located internally, it consists of an electric motor and a fan that generate the necessary airflow to suck pollutants from the environment. Motor types vary from the quietest and most efficient to the most powerful, depending on the needs and cooking level of the cooker. It is essential to consider the extraction capacity of the motor when choosing a hood.
- Extraction grille: Also known as the air outlet, this visible part of the hood allows the extraction of polluted air and odours. Designed with strategically placed openings, it allows stale air to be channelled to the extraction system. The grilles can have different designs and styles, made of materials such as stainless steel, plastic or glass, depending on the aesthetics of the hood. Regular cleaning of the grille is essential to maintain optimum performance and to prevent the build-up of grease and dirt.
To reduce the number of incidents it is important to have a professional installation and to carry out regular maintenance.
Maintenance service for fume hoods
Maintaining a professional fume hood in optimum condition is essential to ensure its efficient operation and prolong its service life. For this, it is important to follow some recommendations and to have a specialised maintenance service.
- Regular cleaning of filters and surfaces: Grease filters should be cleaned regularly with hot soapy water. It is also important to clean the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove dirt and grease build-up.
- Inspection and cleaning of ducts and motor: It is advisable to check and clean the ducts and motor according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will help to prevent blockages and maintain the optimal functioning of the extraction system.
- Annual professional maintenance: In addition to regular cleaning, it is advisable to carry out professional maintenance at least once a year. A specialised maintenance service can identify and resolve possible incidents, as well as make the necessary adjustments to optimise the performance of the fume hood.
