Why do you need to install an industrial kitchen exhaust hood system?

Today, demand for industrial catering is growing ever more common as factories, plants and industrial parks keep springing up and constantly expanding in both scale and workforce. To meet the industrial catering needs of thousands of workers, industrial kitchens must operate non-stop and the air is always stifling. The smell of food and smoke clinging to clothes makes staff feel self-conscious every time they leave the kitchen. To overcome these drawbacks, the industrial kitchen exhaust hood system was born. We invite you to learn about this system with STAVI.

So what is an industrial kitchen exhaust hood system?

An industrial kitchen exhaust hood system is a system of many devices used to extract and eliminate all the unpleasant odours in the kitchen space, from smoke to the food smells that arise during cooking. This keeps the kitchen space clean, airy and odour-free at all times, limits unpleasant smells and ensures hygiene during cooking. The industrial kitchen exhaust hood system consists of many different devices and components manufactured on modern production lines, such as exhaust fans, ducts and industrial kitchen hoods… These devices are assembled and connected to each other to perform the tasks that help drive odours out of the kitchen.

1. Industrial kitchen exhaust fan

The exhaust fan is considered the most important device in industrial odour extraction. Its role is to carry odours and smoke away from the kitchen area to another location. The fan commonly used is the centrifugal smoke exhaust fan, because it has high capacity and an industrial-grade construction, meeting the operating capacity requirements of the entire industrial exhaust system.

2. Industrial kitchen exhaust hood

This is a fairly important component of today's industrial kitchen exhaust hood systems. Most of these devices on the market are made of premium stainless steel, aluminium or a powder-coated metal to meet the durability requirements of the kitchen area. Inside the hood there are also grease filters and a grease collection box. These block and retain the grease that splashes or spatters during cooking. In addition, the hood is fitted with lighting, which is very convenient for cooking.

3. Industrial kitchen exhaust duct

In a kitchen exhaust system, the exhaust duct plays an important role. It is used to carry smoke away or circulate air. The duct can be designed in a square or round shape depending on the customer's preference. The exhaust ducting includes components such as smoke ducts, elbows and silencers to reduce the noise emitted by the exhaust fan.

Advantages of an industrial kitchen exhaust hood system

For high-volume industrial kitchens, installing an exhaust hood system is absolutely essential and the safest way to remove odours and toxic smoke from the kitchen. The kitchen is where many different toxic fumes are produced by cooking, together with rising food smells, which make the atmosphere stuffy and unpleasant for both those working and those eating there. Therefore, designing and investing in an exhaust hood system for the kitchen is the solution to protect health and enjoy tasty, hygienic meals.
