Commercial Exhaust Fans Installations
Commercial exhaust fans help to clear the air by removing airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, heat, and steam. This is done through evacuating the air and filtration. By installing a commercial exhaust fan system, you can maintain air quality levels in your facility while increasing the efficiency of other equipment.
Commercial exhaust fans are available in various sizes and styles to suit any space or application. Depending on your needs, you can choose from direct drive units that use powerful motors for maximum airflow, belt drive systems for quieter operation, or backward-inclined fans for the most efficient air movement. Additionally, many commercial exhaust fans come with integrated humidification systems to help maintain ideal humidity levels in your facility.
Upblast exhaust fan installation

Commercial kitchens often utilise exhaust hoods in combination with fire suppression devices to ensure that fumes from a grease fire are properly vented and the fire is extinguished quickly. A commercial vent hood may also be combined with a fresh air fan that draws in exterior air and circulates it with the cooking fumes. The mixture is then drawn out by the hood, leaving your kitchen smelling fresh.
