From Intel to Hilton, how did AlWalker become a trusted choice for cross industry commercial kitchen
When you walk into the employee restaurant of Intel Dalian factory, dine in the open plan restaurant of Hilton hotel, or even enjoy a light meal in the food area of Shanghai Pudong Airport, you may never notice the exhaust hood above your head - but these seemingly ordinary devices all come from the same company: AIRWORK. From IT giants and five-star hotels, to prestigious universities and military projects, AlWalker can cross multiple industries to become a "common choice", with a deep understanding of the needs of different scenarios hidden behind it.
Technology industry: Efficient adaptation to "large-scale employee catering". For technology companies like Intel and Microsoft with thousands of employees, the core requirements for employee restaurants are "peak hour oil fume treatment efficiency" and "long-term low energy consumption". Taking the staff restaurant of Microsoft Research Institute in Shanghai as an example, from 12 pm to 13 pm every day, 10 cooking stalls operate simultaneously, resulting in a sudden increase in oil fume emissions. Elvok customized the KVF-M series modular hood for it, which covers all ports through multiple sets of hood splicing, and integrates AIRJET air curtain technology - even during peak hours, the exhaust volume is reduced by 40% compared to traditional systems, avoiding oil fume overflow and reducing air conditioning load.
In addition, the demand for "intelligent management" from technology companies has also been met by Elvok: the EMS intelligent variable frequency ventilation system can recognize the working status of cooking utensils in real time - when a certain gear stops cooking, the system will automatically reduce the exhaust volume of the corresponding area; Through the backend data platform, restaurant managers can also view energy consumption curves and optimize operational strategies. According to Microsoft feedback, this system saves restaurants about 150000 yuan in energy costs annually.
Five star hotels: Balancing "aesthetics and functionality". The kitchens of five-star hotels, especially open display kitchens, face a dual test of "appearance" and "performance". The full-time restaurant of Zhengzhou Crowne Plaza Hotel separates the cooking area from the dining area by only one glass, allowing customers to clearly see the process of steak frying and dessert making - which requires the hood to be not only "invisible", but also absolutely "smoke free". Elvok chose the UVF series hood for it, which is made entirely of SUS304 stainless steel, with simple lines that blend seamlessly with the hotel's decor style; At the same time, Breton UV-C technology thoroughly decomposes the odor of cooking fumes, so even if customers are in close proximity to the cooking area, they cannot smell any oil smell.
The hygiene standards for hotel kitchens are equally strict. Elvok's automatic water washing technology can perform high-pressure flushing on the inside of the hood and oil mesh at regular intervals, without the need for manual disassembly - which greatly reduces the cleaning workload for hotel kitchens that need to be thoroughly cleaned three times a day. The kitchen manager of the Hilton Yancheng Hotel said, "After installing the Elvok equipment, the hygiene score of the kitchen has increased from 92 to 98, and the working environment for employees has become fresher
Catering chain: In response to "high-frequency cooking" of catering chain brands such as Ziyan Food and Majiyong, the characteristic of the kitchen is "fast cooking pace, single type of oil fume but high concentration". Taking Ma Jiyong's store in Shanghai as an example, hundreds of Lanzhou Lamian Noodles noodles are produced every day, and the water vapor and oil smoke generated by cooking noodles, mixing soup and frying meat are continuous. Elvok designed the KWF series automatic water washing hood for it. The HG cyclone oil screen first separates most of the grease, and then flushes it regularly through the built-in water washing system - even if it operates continuously for 12 hours, there will be no accumulation of oil stains inside the hood, avoiding the problem of frequent shutdowns for cleaning.
More importantly, catering chains are extremely sensitive to "cost control". Elvok's plan can significantly reduce maintenance costs in the later stages, such as extending the pipeline cleaning cycle from 2 months to 1 year, saving thousands of yuan in cleaning costs annually; The water consumption of the automatic washing system is accurately calculated and will not cause waste. The operation and maintenance manager of Ziyan Food calculated a sum of money: "By using Elwood equipment in a single store, the annual maintenance cost has been reduced by nearly 60% compared to before
Education and Public Buildings: The student cafeteria at the New York University Shanghai campus meets "high safety standards". The biggest difference from regular commercial kitchens is that "safety priority is the highest" - both to avoid fire risks and to ensure that ingredients are not contaminated. Elvok equipped it with HG cyclone oil net+UV-C dual protection system, and also added a fire extinguishing device interface, which can be directly connected to the hotel's fire protection system; The ASL lighting system of the hood adopts anti glare design to avoid collisions caused by strong light when students pass by.
The food area of Shanghai Pudong Airport faces the challenge of "large space and multiple formats": different brands of stalls (Chinese, Western, fast food) produce different types of oil fumes, requiring flexible adjustment of ventilation parameters. The ADCS digital control system of Elvok can manage the smoke hoods of all stalls through a touch screen - increasing the exhaust volume of Chinese stalls and reducing energy consumption of Western stalls, achieving "on-demand distribution".
From technology companies to hotels, restaurants, and education, AlWalker's "cross industry adaptability" is essentially "not applying standardized products, but understanding the needs of the scenario first". If your industry also has special needs for kitchen ventilation, you may wish to log on to Elwak's official website (www.arwok group. com) to see more cases, or consult through the official account - after all, the solution suitable for your own scenario is the best choice.
