Smoke extractor in restaurants: What you need to know
Smoke extractors in restaurants are essential to ensure a healthy and comfortable environment for customers and staff. If you are the owner of a restaurant, here is what you need to know about the regulations and the criteria for selecting a professional kitchen air extractor.
The different elements for smoke extraction in a restaurant
The extraction hood
Installed above stoves and grills, the hood is part of the professional air extractors used in restaurants to suck up cooking fumes, vapors and odors. It uses filters to trap grease particles and ventilation systems to evacuate fumes to the outside.
The ventilation system
The ventilation system is an air extractor for professional kitchens including ducts, fans and filters that evacuate smoke and vapors captured by the hood to the outside of the building. This system typically uses powerful fans to ensure sufficient airflow and remove smoke and odors from the kitchen.
What you need to know about professional air extractors in restaurants
Extractors must comply with current standards
The air extractors in your professional kitchen must comply with current standards to ensure adequate ventilation, reduce the risk of fire and maintain a safe and hygienic working environment.
The regulations on air extractors target in particular the size, positioning of the ducts, the efficiency of the filters and the level of energy deployed.
You must choose your system according to precise criteria
To choose the right air extractor system for your restaurant kitchen, opt for a system adapted to the necessary flow rate, with ducts of the right size, strategically positioned. Choose high-performance filters, quiet operation and high energy efficiency.
By considering these technical factors, you can ensure efficient, standard-compliant ventilation for your restaurant kitchen!
Professional restaurant air extractor: adapt your kitchen for a more efficient system
Did you know that efficient kitchen design can contribute to better fume extraction? Optimal design includes the strategic placement of cooking equipment and hoods, and the use of heat-resistant and easy-to-clean materials.
For restaurants already in operation, a thoughtful reorganization of the system as a whole can greatly improve the quality of ventilation in the kitchen.
Combine a fire suppression system with your restaurant’s smoke extractors
In commercial kitchens using high temperature equipment, fire suppression systems can be installed in addition to air extractors. Combining a fire suppression system with air extractors in a professional kitchen reduces the risk of fire and property damage, and helps respond quickly in the event of an emergency.
