USR-F – Capture Ray™ low profile and freestanding hood (CE)

Applications

Halton Capture Jet™ hoods and ventilated ceilings are all suitable for LEED (1), BREEAM (2), DGNB (3), etc. projects, particularly when combined with M.A.R.V.E.L. airflow and energy optimization technology. They can be used in all closed, opened, or show kitchens.

USR hoods are ideally suitable for frying and grilling hubs equipped with medium-duty electric appliances. In addition to the Capture Jets, they are also equipped with the Capture Ray™ technology. They are therefore more typically used for Ghost Kitchens or Quick Service Restaurants, especially those located in dense urban areas or whose ducts are difficult to access.

Description

The Capture Jet™ technology enables significant reductions in airflow rates leading to savings on construction costs, mainly due to the reduced size of ducts and HVAC equipment. It typically pays for itself upon the startup of the kitchen or within few months. The energy savings it generates then directly contribute to an increase in profitability, while the staff benefits from improved working conditions.

USR hoods are installed closer to the cooking appliances; The smoke, steam, and heat released are then captured more efficiently. The Capture Jets combined with a capture "at closest from the source" reduce the exhaust airflow rates to the lowest possible level.

The side Capture Jets allow for a large opening on the sides for the passing of the fries baskets to the salting tray, for instance. As for the combination of the front and side Jets, it allows for a negative overhang to improve the view on the cooking surfaces and the ergonomic.

The Capture Ray™ technology neutralizes the small grease particles, the grease vapors and a portion of the VOCs that can't be removed by any primary mechanical filtration. It truly represents a unique ensemble of benefits, from savings on cleaning costs to optimal hygiene and fire safety levels, through to lower kitchens' environmental impact on the neighborhood.

The Water Wash technology is designed to automatically carry out the regular filters cleaning, with no outside intervention necessary. It saves a lot on filters cleaning cost. The productivity, the hygiene and the fire safety are also improved.

USR-F has on the back a services distribution unit that integrates the cooking appliances' power supplies.

Considerable energy savings

• The Capture Jet™ technology allows for up to a 48% reduction in exhaust airflow rates.
• The combination with M.A.R.V.E.L. airflow and energy optimization technology allows for reducing the exhaust volumes by up to an additional 44% on top of that of the Capture Jet™ resulting in up to a 64% total reduction. Energy savings are then massive.
• It generates important energy savings on cooling/heating the makeup-air (less air out, less air in!).
• The reduced draft risk and noise levels imporve the working conditions fo rthe staff.

Improved safety, maintenance savings and respect for the neighborhood

• Two mechanical filtration stages. KSA cyclonic aerosol separators aerosol separators constructed of stainless steel in compliance with EN 16282-6. They are up to 95% efficient on 10 microns particles or larger. Also certified UL 1046, NSF, and LPS 1263. MFA Mesh filters as second filtration level to bring the total efficiency to up to 94% on 5 microns particles.
• KSA aerosol separators - together with MFA filters - efficiently slow down the build-up of grease deposits in the exhaust plenums and ductwork that could otherwise constitute a serious hygiene and fire safety hazard.
• The Capture Ray™ technology keeps the exhaust plenums and ductwork virtualy free of grease deposits. The ductwork cleaning operations are cut down to the minimum legal frequency (if applicable) or to the strict minimum, leading to important savings.
• Hygiene and fire safety levels of the extract circuit are moreover kept at an optimum level.
• The UV On Demand option activates the lamps only when cooking appliances are actually used. It saves up to one lamps-set where other UV systems require two.
• The Capture Ray™ technology also significantly reduces the odors discharged outdoor and thus lowers the kitchens' environmental impact on the neighborhood and the risk of complaints or legal action.

Other features and benefits

• Minimum space used. Integrated self-supporting structure.
• Integrated fan for the Capture Jet™ technology. No additional duct is required.
• Capture Jets are automatically switched off when the hood is not used or operates at a minimum airflow.
• The side Capture Jets allow for a large opening on both sides for the passing of the fries baskets.
• Total access security to UV-C lamps that includes the detection of each filter presence.
• Advanced 24/7 distant monitoring capabilities thanks to Halton Connect IoT (Internet of Things) platform.
• Highest value of ownership thanks to Halton Connect & Care smart services available as an option from kitchens commissioning.
• Halton Skyline (HCL) LED culinary light provides the best visual comfort while contributing to further improve safety and energy savings.
• When extended to the whole kitchen and surrounding areas, the Human Centric version of Halton Skyline (HCL) directly contributes to chefs' and their teams wellbeing.
• Capture and containment efficiency tested in accordance with the ASTM 1704 standard.
• Services distribution on the back of the hood equipped with the electric plugs for the cooking appliances.
