Overview

Halton’s range of Direct Fired supply-air units is designed to comply with the highest hygiene requirements inside professional kitchens. Whatever it’s level, hygiene can rapidly be compromised if a correct balance between supply and exhaust is not maintained at all times and in each area of the kitchen. Halton units provide a high level of air quality inside the kitchen and work “hand-in-hand” with PolluStop units and Halton’s airflow optimization system M.A.R.V.E.L.
