Start Commercial Kitchen Extraction Designing
Via Equip specializes in commercial kitchen ventilation services, offering expert kitchen extraction design, manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and replacement parts. With decades of experience, we deliver tailored solutions for restaurants, kitchens, and catering businesses, ensuring clean air, optimal comfort, and safety in every kitchen environment.
Gas Interlock System
Gas Interlock Systems (GIS) are a mandatory safety requirement in commercial kitchens when installing new canopies, adjusting cooker layouts, or fitting Category ‘B’ equipment such as ovens and deep fryers, including replacements in existing setups. GIS automatically cut off gas flow if kitchen extraction fans fail, ensuring compliance with DW/172 standards for minimum airflow rates in commercial kitchen ventilation systems.
Canopy System
Canopy systems are essential to the extraction process, removing air impurities, grease, and excess heat to maintain a clean and safe kitchen environment.
Ventilation Ductwork
Ductwork directs extracted air safely outside, typically through an external wall or roof, while also bringing fresh replacement air back into the kitchen.
Carbon Cell Filter
Eliminating cooking odors, grease, air pollution, and smoke requires multiple systems working together in harmony.
Canopy Grease Filter
Filters capture grease from the airstream before it enters the kitchen ventilation ductwork, effectively reducing fire risk and making ventilation system cleaning.
Extractor Fan
Extractor fans play a crucial role in this process, designed specifically to handle the heavy fumes and odours typical in commercial kitchens.
Make-up Air system
Regulations now require adequate replacement air to prevent incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide buildup. The systems exhaust flow in the kitchen, ensuring safety and comfort by circulating clean air. Negative pressure, temperature fluctuations, and poor air quality can occur with the system.
Heat Recovery System
A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) transfers heat from exhaust air to fresh air being drawn into the kitchen. This self-contained system balances air intake and exhaust, delivering filtered, fresh air while removing stale, moist air with minimal heat loss.
Odour Control System
Commercial kitchens must meet environmental standards requiring that no smoke or odors are detectable at the exhaust point. Via Equip provides Odour Control Systems to ensure kitchens remain safe, clean, and fully compliant.
