Every commercial kitchen is unique—whether it’s a five-star hotel’s open display kitchen, a hospital’s central kitchen, a restaurant’s busy grill station, or a school’s staff cafeteria. To meet the diverse needs of these environments, AIRWORK has developed a comprehensive range of exhaust hoods, each engineered with specialized features to address specific use cases. From energy-efficient basic models to high-performance systems with advanced purification and cleaning capabilities, AIRWORK’s product lineup offers tailored solutions for every commercial kitchen scenario.
AIRWORK’s exhaust hoods are built on a modular design philosophy, allowing for easy assembly, transportation, and customization. All models feature SUS304 stainless steel construction—durable, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean—along with integrated ASL LED lighting, TCB (Test, Commissioning, and Balancing) interfaces for airflow adjustment, and compliance with China’s Green Building Certification (GB/T50378-2019) and LEED standards. Below are the key product series:
The KVF Series is AIRWORK’s flagship exhaust hood, designed for enclosed, open, and display kitchens in hotels, restaurants, and food courts. Equipped with AIRJET air curtain technology, it reduces air volume by 30-40% compared to traditional hoods, saving energy while preventing fume escape. The front-mounted displacement air supply system creates a comfortable "air lake" of cool air, improving staff comfort, while the high-efficiency HG cyclone oil mesh reduces grease buildup and fire risks.
Available in three configurations (2 closed ends, 1 closed end, 2 open ends) and multiple sizes (effective lengths from 1500mm to 10500mm), the KVF Series is highly customizable. The KVF-M sub-series, designed for larger cooking equipment, offers expanded airflow capacity and enhanced performance for high-volume kitchens.
For kitchens with heavy daily use—such as central kitchens, hospitals, and busy restaurants—the KWI and KWF Series feature automatic washing technology. These hoods eliminate the need for manual cleaning by automatically rinsing filters and internal chambers with hot water and detergent, reducing maintenance time and costs while improving hygiene.
The KWF Series adds AIRJET air curtain technology for superior fume capture, while both series retain core features like HG cyclone oil mesh, ASL lighting, and TCB interfaces. The intuitive LCD touchscreen allows for easy programming of cleaning cycles, and the systems are compatible with AIRWORK’s ADCS digital control platform for remote monitoring.
Ideal for kitchens where odor control is critical—such as open display kitchens or urban restaurants—the UVF and UVI Series integrate Breton UV-C Photolysis Oxidation Technology. This system breaks down odorous compounds and grease at the source, reducing outdoor emissions and creating a fresher indoor environment.
Like the KVF Series, these hoods feature AIRJET technology for energy savings and fume capture, along with HG cyclone oil mesh and ASL lighting. The UVF Series includes a front-mounted low-speed air supply system, while the UVI Series offers a compact design for space-constrained environments. Both are fully compatible with green building certifications, making them a sustainable choice for modern commercial spaces.
Dishwashing areas generate significant heat and moisture, requiring specialized ventilation to prevent condensation and maintain comfort. The VVF and VVI Series are designed specifically for these environments, acting as Type II commercial hoods to capture heat and condensation from dishwashers and ovens.
Featuring deflector channels to prevent water dripping, integrated displacement air supply, and ASL lighting, these hoods efficiently remove moisture and heat, reducing the kitchen’s cooling load. The VVF Series includes a front air supply system for enhanced comfort, while the VVI Series offers a streamlined design for smaller spaces. Both are lightweight, easy to clean, and built to withstand the humid conditions of dishwashing areas.
For high-risk cooking equipment like charcoal grills, barbecues, and solid-fuel ovens, the FWMF Series provides specialized fire safety and cooling. Equipped with water mist cooling technology, this hood creates a barrier of fine water droplets in the exhaust chamber, acting as a flame arrester to prevent sparks from entering ducts. The mist also cools the air, improving staff comfort, and can be activated on demand to save up to 80% water consumption.
The FWMF Series includes automatic cleaning technology for hassle-free maintenance, AIRJET air curtain for fume capture, and a dedicated A30 control cabinet with touchscreen operation. It is the ideal solution for restaurants, food courts, and catering facilities specializing in heavy-duty cooking.
AIRWORK’s exhaust hoods are not just off-the-shelf products—they are customized solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs. The modular design allows for flexible configuration of length, airflow capacity, and additional features (such as EMS energy-saving control or fire suppression systems). Whether it’s a small café or a large-scale central kitchen, AIRWORK works closely with clients to design ventilation systems that optimize performance, safety, and cost-efficiency.
These solutions have been proven in hundreds of projects worldwide, from Shanghai Disneyland and Hikvision’s employee cafeterias to New York University’s campus restaurants and Phuket Marriott Resort. Each installation reflects AIRWORK’s commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
In a commercial kitchen, the right exhaust hood is more than a piece of equipment—it’s a critical investment in safety, efficiency, and comfort. With AIRWORK’s full range of customized exhaust hoods and advanced technologies, businesses can transform their kitchen environments, meet regulatory requirements, and achieve long-term operational success.
