Professional Ventilation and Extraction: Healthy Air at the Heart of Your Kitchen

In a professional kitchen, air management is just as crucial as the quality of the cooking equipment. High-performance ventilation guarantees a healthy working environment, the longevity of your premises, and the comfort of your customers in the dining area. At Aksora, we offer Horeca extraction and ventilation systems designed to effectively remove smoke, grease, steam, and persistent odors.

Why is High-Performance Ventilation Mandatory?

Regulations regarding professional kitchen extraction are strict. Beyond the legal aspect, a faulty ventilation system can lead to serious risks:

1. Fire Safety: Grease accumulation in ducts is the primary cause of fires in restaurants. Our hoods and filters are designed to capture a maximum of particles.

2. Staff Health: Excessive temperatures and air saturated with CO2 or combustion fumes severely impact the productivity and health of your cooks.

3. Customer Comfort: Nothing is more detrimental to a restaurant than frying odors making their way into the dining area.

Essential Components of Your Extraction System

To build an efficient ventilation network, several elements must be harmonized. The Aksora collection covers all these needs:

• Professional Hoods: Whether static or motorized, we offer models in AISI 304 stainless steel. You will find wall-mounted hoods (for placement against a wall) or central hoods (for cooking islands), equipped with robust baffle filters.

• Motors and Variable Speed Drives: The "heart" of your extraction. Our scroll motors (centrifugal motors) offer powerful airflows capable of overcoming the pressure drop in your ducts. Adding a voltage variator is essential to adjust the suction power according to the intensity of service, thereby enabling substantial energy savings.

• Extraction Boxes: For installations requiring acoustic insulation, the ventilation box is the ideal solution. It protects the motor from bad weather and reduces noise pollution for neighbors, a crucial point in urban areas.

• Variable Speed Drives and Controls: Essential for controlling your installation, they allow you to adjust the rotation speed of the blades according to the actual smoke flow.

How to Choose the Right Airflow?

Calculating the necessary airflow is a technical step where Aksora supports you. It depends on several factors: the surface area of your cooking appliances (fryers, ranges, ovens), the length of your duct network, and the number of bends. Under-sizing will result in a smoky kitchen, while over-sizing will generate excessive noise and unnecessary electrical consumption.

As a general rule, a hood should extend 20 to 30 cm beyond the perimeter of your cooking block to effectively capture rising thermal flows.

Maintenance and Hygiene: A Matter of Longevity

A ventilation system is not installed to be forgotten. Grease filters must be cleaned daily (professional dishwasher cleaning). A complete degreasing of the ducts by a specialized company is also required at least once a year. At Aksora, our equipment is designed to facilitate this maintenance: filters are easily removable, and stainless steel surfaces allow for quick cleaning.
