Kitchen Hood and Fire Suppression System

Any commercial kitchen running equipment that produces heat, grease, or smoke needs a Kitchen Hood and Fire Suppression System. Restaurants, cafes, and institutional kitchens with fryers, ranges, or grills all require one. CaptiveAire custom exhaust hoods available at Zanduco can be sized to match your specific cooking line.

Match hood width to your cooking equipment, typically extending 6 inches beyond each side of the appliance. A Kitchen Hood and Fire Suppression System sized too small will fail to capture grease and smoke effectively. CaptiveAire offers custom-built exhaust hoods, so you can get the exact fit your kitchen requires.

Wall-mounted hoods are the most common choice when cooking equipment is against a wall. An island-style Kitchen Hood and Fire Suppression System suits kitchens where the cooking line sits in the center of the space. Your layout determines which configuration makes sense.

Some systems combine ventilation and fire suppression in a single unit. A Kitchen Hood and Fire Suppression System with integrated suppression simplifies installation and ensures both functions are properly coordinated. CaptiveAire's custom exhaust solutions can be configured with suppression capability built into the hood system.

Custom units benefit kitchens with unusual cooking line lengths, low ceilings, or non-standard equipment layouts. A standard Kitchen Hood and Fire Suppression System works fine for conventional setups, but going custom lets you optimize airflow, clearances, and suppression zones. Pair your hood with equipment from Zanduco's Cooking Equipment category for a complete kitchen solution.

Yes. High-BTU stations like wok ranges and fryers produce heavy grease-laden air that demands more CFM airflow. A Kitchen Hood and Fire Suppression System designed for heavy-duty cooking needs a higher capture velocity than a standard system. CaptiveAire custom hoods can be specified for exactly these applications.

Ghost kitchens and shared commissary spaces need a properly rated Kitchen Hood and Fire Suppression System just as any traditional restaurant does. The cooking volume and equipment types dictate the required hood capacity. Custom solutions from CaptiveAire are especially useful in these settings where multiple restaurant owners share the same ventilation infrastructure.
