Why Compliance Matters: Non-compliance can lead to heavy fines, shutdowns, and even fires. That’s why kitchen extraction systems must be designed and installed by professionals who understand both performance and code.
Core Requirements:
– Stainless steel hoods with adequate capture area
– Proper ducting and velocity for grease-laden air
– Exhaust and makeup air balance
– Odor and smoke filtration (carbon & UV systems)
– Integrated wet chemical fire suppression systems
CVAC’s Kitchen Extraction Process:
1. Site assessment
2. Custom hood design
3. Airflow calculation and fan selection
4. Duct routing compliant with Civil Defense
5. Filtration system (carbon, UV, baffle)
6. Authority submissions and approvals
We’ve worked on kitchens in hotels, restaurants, food courts, catering centers, and cloud kitchens — delivering systems that not only meet code, but also perform quietly and efficiently.
Avoid These Common Mistakes:
– Skipping fire suppression
– Undersized ducting
– No odor control
– Poor grease filtration
Final Tip: Always choose an extraction partner that provides both engineering and authority clearance. CVAC International is that partner.
