Oliver Bennett – Catering Equipment View Profile →

  • Pros: Unlocks potential for kitchens in locations where ducted extraction is impossible.
  • Cons: Relies heavily on timely filter maintenance to maintain its effectiveness.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'Salts Mill Diner' in Saltaire, a UNESCO World Heritage site, needed to upgrade their kitchen to handle increased demand. Due to the building's protected status, installing a traditional ducted canopy was completely out of the question.

"The Lincat SmartVent was the only way we could expand our menu. It was installed over a weekend and  the difference in air quality was immediate. Our chefs are happier, and  we're finally able to operate the grill we always wanted without any issues."

Samuel Jones – Owner

The new system enabled them to introduce a full grill menu, leading to a 30% increase in evening food sales.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is positioned centrally over your cooking appliances for maximum capture.
  • Check the manufacturer's guidelines for the correct height clearance between the unit and  the cooktop.
  • As a plug-and-play device, it simply requires a standard 230V socket within reach.
  • Before first use, run the fan on all settings to ensure everything is working correctly.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft cloth and  appropriate cleaner.
  • Check the primary baffle filters weekly and  clean them in a dishwasher or by hand when grease builds up.
  • Follow the unit's indicator lights or manual schedule for replacing the internal particle and  carbon filters.
  • Listen for any unusual noises from the fan, which could indicate a blockage or maintenance need.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Kitchen Ventilation System

Not sure what to look for when clearing the air? Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right system for your kitchen.

Ducted vs. Ventless

A ducted system expels air outside, while a ventless (recirculating) one filters it and  returns it to the room. Ventless is perfect for locations where external ducting is impossible.

Airflow Rate

Measured in m³/sec, this tells you how much air the unit can process. You need to match this to the type and  volume of your cooking – heavy-duty grilling needs more power than light boiling.

Filter Type

Baffle filters are great for capturing grease. Carbon filters are essential for neutralising odours in recirculating systems. Check how often they need cleaning or replacing.

Noise Level (dB)

A crucial factor for open kitchens or small spaces. A lower decibel (dB) rating means a quieter, more pleasant working environment for staff and  customers.

Canopy Size

Your extraction canopy should extend beyond your cookline on all sides by at least 150mm to ensure it effectively captures all rising steam, smoke, and  fumes.

Integrated Lighting

Good lighting over the cookline is non-negotiable for safety and  quality control. Units with built-in, energy-efficient LED lights are a huge plus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this Lincat extraction canopy 1.6m need an external wall to vent outside?

A: No, this is a completely self-contained, ventless system. It filters the air and  recirculates it, so no external ducting or wall penetration is required.

Q: How often will I need to change the filters?

A: This depends heavily on your usage. The main baffle filters should be cleaned weekly. The internal carbon and  particle filters have a longer lifespan, and  the unit will typically have an indicator to let you know when they need replacing.

Q: Is this powerful enough for heavy-duty cooking like char-grilling?

A: Yes, it is designed for use with both gas and  electric medium to heavy-duty appliances up to a 700 series cookline, which includes griddles and  grills.

Q: How loud is it when running on full power?

A: The system operates at a noise level of just 62dB, which is equivalent to a normal conversation. It's designed to be effective without being disruptive.

Q: Can I install this myself?

A: While it is a 'plug-and-play' unit electrically, it weighs 85kg and  needs to be securely mounted above the cookline. We always recommend a qualified engineer for safe and  correct installation.

Q: What are the power requirements?

A: It runs on a standard 230V mains supply and  is fitted with a regular UK plug, requiring no specialist electrical work.

Q: How do you clean the stainless steel housing?

A: A daily wipe-down with a soft cloth and  a food-safe stainless steel cleaner is all that's needed to keep it looking professional.

Q: Is the LED lighting replaceable?

A: Yes, the LED lighting components are designed to be long-lasting but can be replaced if they ever fail. Refer to the user manual for the correct part and  procedure.

What Customers Are Saying

"An absolute lifesaver for our ghost kitchen unit in Manchester. Plugged it in and  it was ready to go. Handles the fumes from two fryers and  a griddle with no problem at all."

Mark L – Cloud Kitchen Operator

"Really effective and  surprisingly quiet. We run a small open-plan café in Brighton and  this keeps the cooking smells contained without disturbing customers. Filters are easy to access too."

Chloe R – Café Owner

"We fit this in our new food truck. It's robust, easy to clean down, and  gives our setup a much more professional look and  feel. Well worth the investment."

How Does Four-Stage Fume Filtration Keep Your Air Clean?

Ever wondered how a box on the wall can do the same job as a huge external fan? The secret is in its clever multi-layer filtration. Think of it like a high-tech security system for your air. The first stage is a stainless steel baffle filter that catches the biggest intruder – airborne grease. Next, a finer particle filter acts like a net, trapping smaller smoke and  steam particles. The third stage forces the air through an activated carbon filter, which is the real magic. The carbon's porous surface neutralises odours at a molecular level, just like a charcoal water filter purifies tap water. Finally, a last filter ensures nothing but clean air is recirculated. It’s a complete, self-contained process that delivers fresh air without needing a single hole in your wall.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Listed Building Cafés: Perfect for historic sites where altering the building fabric for ducting is strictly forbidden.
  • Mobile & Event Caterers: Provides professional-grade extraction for food trucks and  pop-up stalls at festivals or markets.
  • Shopping Centre Kiosks: Allows hot food preparation in indoor units where venting to the outside is not feasible.
  • Basement or 'Dark' Kitchens: An essential solution for delivery-only kitchens located in areas without direct outside access.
