Central island ventilation hood with filters Novameta HNCA-140-140-48

A central island ventilation hood extracts airborne grease, steam and cooking odours directly above an island cooking suite, keeping the kitchen atmosphere clear and safe. The hood draws contaminated air upwards through cyclonic grease filters that spin the air, forcing grease particles to the outer walls where they collect in a tray. This method removes up to 95% of grease before the air enters the ductwork, reducing fire risk and cutting the frequency of duct cleaning.

The operator positions the hood over the island hob or griddle, connects the 400 mm exhaust collar to the ducting, and switches on the built-in LED lighting. Four stainless-steel grease filters are slotted into place; each can be removed for cleaning without tools. An adjustable exhaust damper balances the airflow to match the kitchen's extraction needs, while a removable grease tray collects the separated particles for easy disposal. Decorative cover panels conceal the ducting and give the unit a finished appearance.

The HNCA 1400 is constructed from stainless steel with a minimum thickness of 0.8 mm, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance in a busy kitchen. The exterior is powder-coated for additional protection and a professional look. LED lighting rated IP65 provides 500 lux at worktop level, allowing clear visibility without generating heat. The hood's footprint of 1400 mm by 1400 mm fits over standard island cooking suites, while the 480 mm height suits low-ceiling installations.

Controls include a light switch on the front panel and an exhaust adjustment damper accessible from below. The 2700 m³/h maximum airflow rate allows the hood to serve medium to large island stations, while the modular design permits multiple hoods to be linked for larger kitchens. The stainless-steel grease filters are dishwasher-safe, and the removable grease tray can be emptied and wiped clean daily to maintain hygiene.

Available widths include 1600 mm, 1800 mm and 2000 mm, each adjustable in 10 mm increments to match the exact dimensions of the cooking equipment below. The hood is designed for use in professional kitchens, cafés and food production areas where efficient air extraction and grease filtration are essential.
