Commercial Kicthen Hoods

Type 1 hoods are specifically designed for grease and smoke applications involving high-heat cooking. They are equipped with grease filters, a fire suppression system, and an integrated grease drain, allowing them to effectively capture grease-laden vapors and smoke at the source. These hoods are commonly installed above deep fryers, cooktops, charbroilers, and other grease-producing equipment.

Type 2 hoods, commonly known as fume hoods, are designed to capture, contain, and remove non-grease, non-combustible particulates such as heat, steam, and fumes. Typically installed above dishwashers, ovens, and pasta cookers, these hoods help control excess humidity and heat in commercial kitchens. Beyond food service applications, Type 2 hoods are also widely used in welding stations, paint booths, and other industrial environments, providing an efficient ventilation solution for non-grease applications. 

 Low Proximity Hoods are a type of canopy hood specifically designed for installation at a lower height above cooking equipment. By positioning the hood closer to the cooking equipment, they enhance grease and smoke capture, improving ventilation efficiency. These hoods provide efficient ventilation in compact spaces. Their design has made them increasingly popular in food trucks, concession stands, and other small commercial kitchens where both kitchen and overhead space are limited.
