KSK – Capture Jet™ Exhaust Hood for High‑Volume Steam Applications (ETL)

The Halton KSK is the industry’s purpose‑built solution for high‑volume steam and cook‑chill environments, combining Capture Jet™ technology, high‑efficiency KSA filtration, and a condensation‑mitigating hood profile to deliver superior containment, reduced exhaust airflow, and a safer, cleaner workspace. Engineered specifically for steam‑intensive operations, the KSK enhances energy efficiency, operator comfort, and long‑term maintainability while supporting advanced controls, lighting, and workflow‑specific options such as suspended hoist rails and M.A.R.V.E.L. demand control.

How It Works

Capture Jet™ technology introduces a controlled air stream along the hood’s front edge to improve containment of steam, heat, and effluent. By stabilizing the capture zone, the KSK reduces the exhaust airflow required to maintain performance—especially critical in high‑humidity, high‑temperature cook‑chill environments.

KSK Performance Highlights

• Up to 40% exhaust airflow reduction vs. conventional hoods (application dependent)
• High‑efficiency KSA multi‑cyclone filters, up to 95% removal at 10 microns per ASTM F2519
• Integrated T.A.B. ports for accurate testing, balancing, and commissioning
• Engineered for high‑steam, high‑humidity environments to help eliminate condensation and dripping
• Optional suspended hoist rail support for cook‑chill workflows
• Stainless steel welded construction with LED or Halton HCL Culinary Light options
• Optional M.A.R.V.E.L. Demand Controlled Kitchen Ventilation for real‑time airflow optimization

FAQ's

What is the primary benefit of the KSK hood?
Improved capture and containment of high‑volume steam with up to 40% exhaust airflow reduction.

 What grease filtration does the KSK use?
Halton KSA multi‑cyclone filters, rated for up to 95% removal at 10 microns per ASTM F2519.

How is airflow verified during commissioning?
Integrated T.A.B. ports allow accurate testing and balancing of both exhaust and Capture Jet™ air.

 How does the KSK manage condensation?
The hood’s profile directs water vapor to an internal perimeter gutter with a drain connection to prevent dripping.

What lighting options are available?
Standard LED lighting or Halton HCL Culinary Lights with broad‑beam, low‑glare illumination.

Can the KSK integrate with demand‑controlled ventilation?
Yes, the KSK is fully compatible with Halton M.A.R.V.E.L. for real‑time airflow modulation.

Is the KSK suitable for cook‑chill environments?
Yes, it is specifically engineered for high‑steam, high‑humidity applications such as steam kettles and tilting skillets.
