Heat and steam hood without filters Novameta HNPDC-100-70-48

A stainless steel heat and fume hood that extracts steam and heat from dishwashing areas, combi ovens and steam cabinets without trapping grease particles. Instead of filtering the air, the hood draws it upwards through a smooth duct, allowing moisture and heat to be carried away before they spread across the kitchen. This method keeps humidity levels low and prevents condensation on walls and ceilings, which reduces cleaning time and improves comfort for staff working nearby. The hood is positioned directly above the source of steam or heat. Once installed, it operates continuously, pulling air through the exhaust collar at the top. An adjustable damper inside the collar lets the operator fine-tune the airflow to match the kitchen's ventilation system, balancing extraction with fresh-air intake. A removable grease tray beneath the hood collects any residual droplets, preventing them from dripping back onto equipment or worktops. LED lighting built into the hood illuminates the area below, making it easier to monitor dishwashing or cooking processes without additional overhead lights. Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, the hood has a smooth, seamless interior that resists corrosion and meets HACCP hygiene standards. The exterior is available with a powder-coated finish in a choice of colours, and decorative cover panels can be added to match the kitchen's design. The hood's footprint of 1000 mm by 700 mm fits above standard workstations, while its 480 mm height allows clearance for most equipment below. An exhaust collar of 315 mm diameter connects to the kitchen's ventilation ductwork, and multiple hoods can be linked together for larger setups. Controls are simple and accessible. A light switch on the side turns the built-in LED lighting on or off, providing 500 LUX of brightness. The exhaust damper is adjusted manually, allowing the operator to increase or decrease airflow as needed. The hood's IP65 protection rating ensures that the lighting and electrical components are sealed against water and dust, making it safe for use in high-humidity environments. The 1000 mm width is one of several standard sizes, with wider models available for larger kitchen areas. Each size is tailored to the specific heat and steam output of the equipment below, ensuring efficient extraction without overloading the ventilation system. The hood's weight and dimensions make it suitable for wall-mounted or ceiling-suspended installation, depending on the kitchen layout. Ventilation specialists calculate the required motor capacity and placement based on the kitchen's volume and operational demands, ensuring optimal performance. Cleaning is straightforward due to the hood's smooth surfaces and removable grease tray. The stainless steel interior can be wiped down with standard kitchen cleaning agents, while the grease tray is easily detached for emptying and washing. The built-in LED lighting is rated for continuous exposure to steam and splashes, so it stays bright above combi ovens and dishwashers without frequent bulb changes. The powder-coated exterior, if chosen, can be cleaned with mild detergents to maintain its appearance. This hood is designed for use in professional kitchens where steam and heat are generated without significant grease, such as dishwashing stations, combi ovens and steam cabinets. It is not intended for frying or grilling applications where grease particles are present in the air.
