Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System

In the heart of every thriving commercial kitchen lies a silent, yet incredibly powerful, system – the Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System. It’s more than just a matter of comfort; it’s about hygiene, safety, and creating an environment where culinary creativity can flourish. At MEC, we understand these critical needs, which is why we’ve dedicated ourselves to manufacturing top-tier ventilation solutions under our trusted brand, Steello.

A comprehensive Commercial Kitchen Exhaust System is a symphony of interconnected components, each playing a vital role in capturing, filtering, and expelling the byproducts of cooking.. Let’s explore the key players that make up a robust Steello ventilation system:

The Essential Components of a Steello Ventilation System:

1. Exhaust Hoods: The First Line of Defense

• What they are: Positioned directly above cooking appliances, exhaust hoods are the most visible part of any kitchen ventilation system. They primarily capture smoke, steam, heat, grease-laden vapors, and odors at their source before these spread throughout the kitchen.
• Steello’s Edge: Steello exhaust hoods we meticulously design for optimal capture efficiency. Crafted from durable stainless steel, they feature robust baffle filters that effectively trap grease, minimizing fire hazards and ensuring cleaner ductwork. Our designs prioritize both functionality and ease of cleaning, crucial for maintaining hygiene in a busy kitchen.

2. Axial Fans: Powering the Airflow

• What they are: Axial fans are mechanical devices that move air along the fan’s axis. They efficiently handle large volumes of air at low pressure, making them ideal for shorter duct runs or setups that require high airflow without much resistance.
• Steello’s Edge: Steello engineers its axial fans for dependable performance and energy efficiency. These fans play a crucial role in initiating airflow through the exhaust hood and into the ductwork, quickly removing contaminants from the cooking area.

3. Exhaust Blowers (Centrifugal Fans): Overcoming Resistance

• What they are: Unlike axial fans, exhaust blowers—often centrifugal fans—handle higher static pressure with ease. They effectively move air through longer, more complex duct systems by overcoming resistance from bends, filters, and other components. These blowers draw air into the center and discharge it at a right angle.
• Steello’s Edge: When your kitchen layout requires powerful air movement through extensive ducting, Steello exhaust blowers rise to the challenge. Built for consistent, high-performance suction, our blowers expel grease, smoke, and heat efficiently—even in demanding installations. Their rugged construction ensures long-term reliability.

4. Air Washers: Enhancing Air Quality

• What they are: Air washers are advanced filtration units that use water to remove pollutants from the air. In kitchen ventilation systems, they help further purify exhaust air by scrubbing out stubborn grease and odor particles before releasing it outdoors. They play a critical role in urban settings and areas with strict environmental regulations.
• Steello’s Edge: Steello air washers integrate seamlessly into our complete ventilation systems, adding an extra layer of purification. They actively reduce grease emissions and control odors, helping you meet environmental standards while minimizing your kitchen’s impact on the surrounding area. This dedication to cleaner air truly sets Steello apart.

5. G.I. Ducting: The Lifeline of the System

• What they are: G.I. (Galvanized Iron) ducting creates the pathways that carry contaminated air from the exhaust hood to the outside. Manufacturers prefer galvanized iron for its durability, corrosion resistance, and fire-resistant properties, making it ideal for kitchen exhaust systems. These ducts come in various shapes—rectangular, round, and oval—to suit different installation needs.
• Steello’s Edge: MEC manufactures high-quality Steello G.I. ducting with precise fabrication to maximize airflow and minimize leakage. Our ducting safely and efficiently moves extracted air out of your premises. We also offer custom solutions to match any kitchen layout, creating a seamless and effective ventilation network.
