Commercial kitchens come in all sizes so it’s safe to say that not every restaurant or facility will have the same commercial hood system needs. Larger kitchens will need a hood and fan that can handle full scale cooking operations. Smaller kitchens and food trucks don’t necessarily need that much power. Furthermore, the size of the kitchen doesn’t warrant it.
This is especially true if your cooking area has a low ceiling. For smaller cooking operations, including food trucks and concession trailers, a low profile vent hood may be the best choice. Type 1 exhaust hoods are backshelf low proximity hoods for exhaust smoke, odors, grease vapors, heat and condensation but take up considerably less space than their full size counterparts.
Low Profile Vent Hoods
Low profile vent hoods, also called extractor hoods for low ceilings, feature a special sloped canopy design that is very efficient for exhausting contaminated air from kitchens with low ceilings. They are typically best for ceiling heights of 7.5 feet or lower but are also the perfect solution for light and medium duty cooking lines, fryer, and griddle hood applications.
Because the exhaust hood is located closer to the cooking area, the amount of airflow required is reduced which results in energy savings. If you don’t need a full size hood, why throw money away every day? The cost of installing a low profile vent hood can quickly be recouped in savings.
