KCW – Water Wash ventilated ceiling (CE)

The KCW closed ventilated ceiling, with the Capture Jet™ technology, combines several functions: extraction, filter cleaning, air supply, lighting, and a suspended ceiling. it is suitable for open or show kitchens (hotels, hospitals, gastronomic restaurants, central kitchens, etc).

KCW ventilated ceilings are equipped with the Water Wash technology. It is designed to automatically carry out the regular cleaning of the filters, with no outside intervention necessary. It significantly reduces cleaning costs. Above all, users can devote themselves entirely to creating and preparing menus and food.

KCW ceilings free the kitchen from the space taken up by hoods. The entire kitchen then potentially benefits from the daylight, in addition to the integrated uniform and direct lighting. The visual comfort and the impression of space are incomparable. In the unlikely event of fire, it also provides an excellent protection, limiting its spread through the building.

Compared to hoods, heat and vapours are necessarily captured higher up. The latest generation of Capture Jet™ technology virtually constitutes an outer boundary for smoke to remove it efficiently.

Halton’s laminar flow units LFU provide a draught-free makeup air completing the action of the Capture Jets and improving staff comfort.

Considerable energy savings
