Ventilation: Hoods, Filters, and Wall Exhausts for Professional Kitchens

Our "Ventilation" category is designed for operators of restaurants, pizzerias, snack bars, hotels, large kitchens, and catering businesses who require reliable exhaust and filtration technology. Commercial ventilation components ensure safe removal of cooking vapours, grease particles, and odours, reduce fire risks, and meet the technical and hygiene standards of professional operations.

What is this category for?

The products in this category serve air extraction, grease filtration, and odour reduction directly at the heat source: hoods over stove and grill lines, wall hoods above fryers or pizza ovens, as well as suitable filter inserts. The goal is to keep work areas free of smoke and grease, improve indoor air quality, and ensure exhaust routes comply with regulations.

Typical applications in gastronomy

Gastronomic requirements vary: pizza ovens generate high heat and grease loads, doner and kebab grills produce strong odours, and dishwashing areas have high humidity. Accordingly, different types of hoods and filters are used—from compact solutions for snack stands to large wall hoods for commercial kitchens.

• Pizza & Grill: robust stainless steel hoods with high exhaust capacity
• Kebab/Snack: activated carbon and odour filters
• Dishwashing area: moisture-resistant designs and condensate drainage
• Hotel/Large kitchen: modular wall and island hoods with multiple filter segments

Key purchasing criteria

When selecting, pay particular attention to:

• Material: corrosion-resistant stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304) for easy cleaning and durability.
• Performance: exhaust volume (m³/h) and pressure matched to cooking capacity and equipment (fryer, grill, pizza oven).
• Filter type: baffle filters (baffle/metal grease filters) for grease separation, activated carbon for odour absorption; standard sizes such as 500×500 mm filters.
• Hood size: length corresponding to the cooking line; example products range from compact wall hoods (1000×700×400 mm, 1 filter) to large units (5000×700×400 mm with 8 filters).
• Safety and compliance: fire dampers, conductive ducts, adherence to VDI guidelines and local fire protection regulations.
• Maintenance: easy filter removal, cleaning access, and service-friendly design reduce operating costs.

Typical subtypes and equipment

The collection includes:

• Wall hoods (single/multi-segment) in various widths and filter counts
• Island hoods for cooking islands
• Hood filters in standard sizes (e.g., 500×500 mm)
• Roof fans, soundproofing elements, exhaust ducts, and fire protection components

Practical benefits in daily operations

Properly designed ventilation reduces cleaning effort in dining areas, protects staff from grease exposure, and minimises odour nuisance for guests. Suitable filter concepts (grease separators, activated carbon) and robust stainless steel construction reduce downtime for maintenance. Additionally, compliant exhaust planning supports approval processes for renovations and new kitchen installations.

We offer advice on selection: sizing according to cooking capacity, appropriate hood overhangs, suitable filter combinations, and integration tips for existing exhaust systems. This ensures your ventilation solution functions technically and meets operational demands.
