Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: An outstanding solution for sites where planning or building structure forbids traditional extraction.
  • Con: The 70kg weight means installation definitely requires careful planning and  at least two people.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Salted Pig, a bustling charcuterie and  wine bar in a historic part of Chester, needed to upgrade their kitchen's ventilation to handle a new grill. Their Grade II listed status meant that installing new external ductwork was completely out of the question.

"We were genuinely stuck. We needed more power, but couldn't touch the building's exterior. The Lincat SmartVent was the perfect fit. It was installed over a weekend, and  the difference in air quality was immediate. The team are happier, and  there are no more cooking smells drifting into the bar area."

Michael Edwards – Owner, The Salted Pig

The installation resulted in a 100% compliant kitchen and  a noticeable reduction in staff complaints about heat and  fumes during service.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Due to its weight (70kg), professional installation by at least two people is strongly recommended.
  • Ensure the wall or ceiling mounting points are structurally sound and  can support the unit safely.
  • Must be connected to a suitable 230V mains power supply by a qualified electrician.
  • Position it correctly over your cookline, ensuring adequate coverage for all appliances.

Keeping It Going

  • Regularly check and  clean the primary grease filters to maintain optimal airflow.
  • Follow the manufacturer's schedule for replacing the internal particle and  carbon filters.
  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft cloth and  appropriate cleaner.
  • Listen for any changes in operational noise, which could indicate a filter needs changing.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Extraction Canopy

Finding the perfect fit for your kitchen can feel daunting. Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a 1200mm commercial kitchen extraction system.

Measure Your Cookline

Your canopy should extend beyond your cooking appliances on all sides to ensure it captures all fumes effectively.

Assess Your Premises

Can you install ducting? If you're in a listed building, basement, or food truck, a recirculating unit like this is your best bet.

Check Your Cooking Style

Ensure the extraction rate (airflow) is powerful enough for your equipment, especially if you do a lot of grilling, frying, or wok cooking.

Consider Ongoing Costs

Factor in the price and  lifespan of replacement filters. A good quality system will have durable, long-lasting filters.

Don't Forget Noise Levels

A quieter unit significantly improves the working environment, especially in smaller or open-plan kitchens. Every decibel counts!

How SmartVent Fume Filtration Cleans Air on the Spot

Ever wondered how a commercial ventilation canopy 1200mm can work so well without an external vent? The secret is in its multi-stage filtration process. Think of it like a highly advanced purification system for your kitchen air. First, a pre-filter catches the largest particles, like grease. Then, the air is forced through finer filters that trap smoke and  tiny airborne particles. Finally, a carbon filter stage absorbs the cooking odours themselves.

It’s a bit like having a professional-grade air purifier that’s tough enough for a commercial kitchen. Instead of just moving the problem outside, the Lincat kitchen extraction system actually scrubs the air clean before recirculating it. This means you get a much healthier, more pleasant working environment without needing to knock any holes in your walls.
