To achieve this, the by products of cooking must be removed from the cooking area including heat, humidity, grease, smoke and odour.

These are removed from the cooking area by the kitchen extract and are usually discharged outside of the building. This discharge point can be at high level, but is often at low level, and in an area where the products of discharge can cause a nuisance.

It is increasingly common for establishments to take responsibility for the discharge of the nuisance caused by the products of cooking. When prospective entrepreneurs seek planning advice from local authorities to open a new restaurant, demands will often be made of them to offer grease, smoke and odour control.

Airclean have been successfully manufacturing highly effective products for Kitchen Extracts at its Kent based Factory for over fifteen years. These products include Baffle, Mesh, HEPA, and Activated Carbon filters to control grease, smoke and odour emissions from kitchens minimizing any impact they have on their surroundings.

Airclean have now increased their product range to include some new alternatives which are being sought out by installers, restaurant owners, designers, and the local authority. These products include UV Ozone Technology, Electrostatic Precipitators, and Atomising Odour Maskers / Neutralisers to deal with the nuisances.

These new products can offer many benefits to the extract designer for both the new installations, and retrofit situations including, size, weight, air resistance, capital and revenue costs along with environmental benefits, and they are being included to compliment the classic products that Airclean have always manufactured.

The classic 2, 3 and 4 Stage Kitchavent Filtration systems are ever increasing in its popularity as a simple all-in-one solution incorporating grease, smoke and odour control, and to enhance this further, a new product is also being launched, the Kitchen Extract AHU.

The Kitchen Extract Air Handling Unit utilises Activated Carbon and HEPA filtration technology from the Kitchavent, combining this with a fan and attenuator, all mounted within a double skinned aluminium pentapost box to offer the complete kitchen extract system.

All of the products mentioned are now available from Airclean, and further information and selection aids can be found online, or by making a request for our new brochure “Kitchen Extract Solutions”, which outlines the technical details of all of the products in the Airclean Kitchen Extract Range.
