Sustainable kitchens are in high demand and as a result, adequate ventilation has become an integral ingredient for greener cooking spaces.
Now more than ever, it’s essential to invest in efficient air cleaners and filtration systems that not only improve the overall atmosphere of your kitchen but also ensure more control over energy costs and environmental impact.
How does a kitchen extraction system work?
A kitchen extraction system is a fundamental appliance for any commercial kitchen. It works by removing airborne grease, smoke, and odours from the air to ensure a safe working environment. An extraction canopy system installed above kitchen workstations uses exhaust fans that draw air from the kitchen into an extraction hood above the stove or cooking range. The air then passes through filters where large particles are removed before being exhausted outside the building via ducts.
Ventilation systems also help to keep the kitchen cooler by removing hot air quickly and efficiently. Air filtration is essential to allow fresh and clean air, without any potential pollutants, into your commercial kitchen; this is important for worker health and safety and food hygiene standards.
Benefits of kitchen ventilation
For home cooks and restaurant owners alike, the benefits of an extraction system are clear;
- Improved air quality inside and outside of the kitchen
- Less smoke and steam created by cooking
- Reduced risk of fire from grease build-up in extractor fans and hoods
- Decreased mildew, peeling and discolouration of wall finishes
- Reduced mould and bacteria build-up on countertops and cooking areas
- Decreased cabinet damage by reducing condensation of acidic contaminants
- Removal of excess cooking heat and household chemical vapours
- Safe carbon monoxide levels
And last but by no means least, modern kitchen extraction systems are also energy-efficient, reducing electricity bills. ‘On demand’ systems can automatically adapt, detecting the energy draw of the gas and electric supplies and switch on only when they’re required, and lie in ‘idle mode’ when they’re not.
