KVE – Capture Jet™ Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Hood (ETL)

The KVE Capture Jet™ Exhaust Hood is designed for projects that require a ventilation system balancing performance, energy efficiency, and smooth execution from design through turnover. It delivers clear value through reduced airflow requirements, high‑efficiency filtration, and a wide range of configurable options. The defined Capture Jet parameters, integrated T.A.B. ports, and strong filtration performance make the KVE straightforward to specify, commission, and verify, resulting in a reliable, code‑aligned kitchen ventilation system that supports both operational efficiency and long‑term maintainability.

How it works

Capture Jet™ with Side-Jet technology introduces capture air through a dedicated discharge panel to strengthen capture at the hood face and improve containment, allowing required exhaust airflow to be reduced while maintaining performance.

Performance Highlights

• Up to 30%-40% lower exhaust airflow vs. traditional hoods
• High‑efficiency KSA multi‑cyclone filters: up to 95% removal at 8 microns (ASTM F2519)
• Integrated T.A.B. ports for accurate testing and balancing
• Stainless steel welded construction with multiple lighting options
• Defined Capture Jet™ airflow requirements for consistent performance
• Compatible with M.A.R.V.E.L. demand‑controlled kitchen ventilation
• Optional SafeGuard unifying ventilation control, condition monitoring, and remote diagnostics to help keep systems operating at it’s best.
• Optional Comfort Jet for operator comfort
