Services
EL Series Ventilation
Our EL Series Ventilation Systems use patented airflow technology to capture cooking effluents with industry-lowest CFM requirements. These systems reduce operational costs through energy-efficient designs tested to ASTM 1704 standards while maintaining quiet kitchen environments. Ideal for light to heavy-duty cooking applications, they feature modular components for easy customization.
AirVantage Control
AirVantage technology optimizes kitchen airflow by automatically adjusting fan speeds based on real-time cooking activity. This solution reduces HVAC energy consumption by 10-50% while maintaining air quality. The system integrates seamlessly with existing ventilation infrastructure and includes user-friendly controls for operational flexibility in commercial kitchen environments.
Eliminator PCV
The Eliminator PCV unit combines smoke abatement and odor control in a compact design, achieving 75%+ particulate removal. This EPA-compliant system uses multi-stage filtration to meet urban environmental regulations while maintaining kitchen efficiency. It features easy-access components for simplified maintenance in high-volume foodservice operations.
Utility Distribution System
Our UL-certified Utility Distribution System centralizes electrical, gas, and plumbing services in modular units. Designed for island or wall-mounted configurations, it allows equipment repositioning without major renovation. The system includes 25% extra capacity for future expansion while meeting NEC and AGA code requirements for commercial kitchen safety.
Custom Hood Designs
We create decorative custom hood systems using architectural metals that complement restaurant aesthetics. These units combine functional airflow management with visual appeal, featuring seamless integration of cooking equipment and lighting. Options include island, wall-mounted, and ceiling-suspended configurations for both new builds and renovations.
