Commercial Kitchen Hoods, Range Hoods & Exhaust Fans

Choose from various options in terms of materials, sizes, and configurations to ensure that you find the perfect hood for your commercial kitchen.

 

Importance of Kitchen Hoods

Commercial kitchens produce a lot of heat, steam, and smoke. Without a commercial kitchen hood, also known as a range hood, all of that would build up and quickly turn the kitchen into an unhealthy and dangerous environment. Kitchen hoods are designed to remove excess fumes and typically have a high-powered fan that pulls air out of the kitchen. They also have filters that help remove grease or particles from the air before it is exhausted.

In most commercial kitchens, the range hood is connected to a duct system that carries the air outside the building. Making them an essential part of any commercial kitchen must be properly installed and maintained to function efficiently.

Types of Commercial Range Hood

A commercial range hood is an exhaust fan typically used in commercial kitchens. Commercial kitchen hoods are designed to remove smoke, grease, fumes, and odors from the air. Two main types of hoods are used: Type 1 Hoods and Type 2 Hoods.

Type 1 Hoods are designed for cooking equipment that can lead to grease and by-products. Type 2 Hoods are used for other kitchen appliances and equipment that require the removal of heat and moisture.

Type 1 Hoods
Type 1 Hoods are typically made of stainless steel and are less expensive than Type 2 Hoods. They also have a lower profile, so they don't take up as much space in the kitchen. However, Type 1 Hoods require more maintenance than Type 2 Hoods because they need to be cleaned more often to prevent grease build-up.

Type 2 Hoods
Type 2 Hoods are usually made of aluminum or another material resistant to corrosion. They are more expensive than Type 1 Hoods but require less maintenance because they don't build up grease as quickly. However, they have a higher profile and take up more space in the kitchen. They also have duct collars to remove contaminated air.

When choosing a commercial range hood, selecting the correct type of hood for your specific needs is essential.

Types of Hood Designs

The hood design for commercial kitchens is based on performance and the appliance used during cooking operations. Commercial kitchen hoods come in three main varieties: proximity hoods, wall-mounted canopy hoods, and island canopy hoods. Each type of hood has unique benefits and choosing the right one will depend on the kitchen's specific needs. However, all commercial hoods share one important goal: to keep the air in the kitchen clean and free from contaminants.

  • Proximity Hoods

    Proximity hoods are commercial kitchen hoods that are smaller in size and can be placed closer to cooking appliances. They require the least amount of exhaust to be effective, making them a good choice for commercial kitchens with limited space.

    There are three main types of proximity hoods: eyebrow, pass-over, and back-shelf vent hoods. Eyebrow hoods are the minor type of proximity hood designed to be installed above commercial ranges. Pass-over hoods are larger than eyebrow hoods and are typically used in commercial kitchens with multiple cooking appliances. Back-shelf vent hoods are the most significant type of proximity hood and are often used in commercial restaurants with a large volume of cooking traffic.

  • Wall-Mounted Canopy Hoods

    Wall-mounted canopy hoods are commercial kitchen hoods mounted on the wall and serve as the exhaust hood for several cooking appliances installed against one wall. These hoods are typically very large and require a tremendous amount of exhaust volume compared to proximity hoods. Canopy hoods are often used in commercial kitchens because they effectively remove smoke, grease, and odors from the air. however, they can be loud and require regular maintenance to ensure they function correctly.

  • Island Hoods

    Island Canopy Hoods are commercial kitchen hoods that hang from the ceiling and serve as the exhaust for several cooking appliances in an island configuration. These hoods have a more significant exhaust volume requirement than wall-mounted canopy hoods. Commercial kitchens that use island canopy hoods typically have a high volume of cooking activity and require a powerful range hood to capture smoke, grease, and odors.

    Island canopy hoods are available in various configurations and can be customized to meet the specific needs of your commercial kitchen. Choose an island canopy hood that is the right size for your commercial range and can adequately capture smoke and grease. Island canopy hoods are essential to any commercial kitchen and help keep your kitchen running smoothly and efficiently.

Where Should a Kitchen Exhaust Fan be Installed?

A kitchen exhaust fan is a mechanical device that helps to remove heat, fumes, smoke, and odors from the kitchen. It is typically located directly over any kitchen appliance and is installed in a range hood. The fan should exhaust air outside the building, not into another area inside the building.

To work correctly, the exhaust fan must be vented to the outdoors and should be able to move a minimum of 150 cubic feet of air per minute. Exhaust fans are an essential part of keeping the kitchen air clean and free of pollutants, and they can also help to prevent fire hazards.
