Kitchen / Laundry Fan
Heavy-duty fume exhaust fan for kitchens and laundries — handles hot, humid, grease-laden air up to 120 °C.
About the Kitchen / Laundry Fan
This is a purpose-built fume fan for the hottest, dirtiest exhaust loads a commercial building produces. The 120 °C-rated impeller and shaft seal hold up under sustained restaurant-kitchen and laundry duty, where lesser fans glaze, warp, or simply fail within a season. Aviation-grade aluminium resists the corrosive condensate that grease and steam produce, and the non-overloading impeller protects the motor when filters load up between cleanings.
Engineering Advantages
120 °C continuous rating — survives kitchen and laundry exhaust without de-rating
Aviation-grade aluminium impeller resists grease- and humidity-induced corrosion
Non-overloading impeller protects the motor as grease filters load
Wide capacity range covers everything from a single-station kitchen to a 25,000 CMH banquet hall
Key Features
- Galvanised housing construction
- Backward-inclined, non-overloading, balanced aviation-grade aluminium impeller
- Low power consumption / low sound level
- Installation flexibility / ease of service
- Available in single and three phase
Construction & Materials
- Heavy-gauge galvanised steel scroll with welded seams
- Backward-inclined, statically + dynamically balanced aluminium impeller
- Shaft seal rated for hot, humid, grease-laden service
- TEFC motor mounted out of the airstream
- Bolted side access for impeller and scroll cleanout
How to Choose the Right Variant
- 1Pick airflow based on hood face capture velocity (typically 0.5 m/s for kitchens)
- 2Add static pressure for grease filter, duct run and discharge stack
- 3For grease duty, always include an upstream baffle filter and a clean-out tee on the duct
- 4Specify spark-resistant construction (Type A/B/C per AMCA 99) where local code requires
Installation Notes
- Always slope the duct toward a drain point or grease tray — condensate will pool
- Use a hinged access door upstream of the fan inlet for cleaning
- Discharge well clear of any fresh-air intake (minimum 3 m horizontal)
- Provide a wash-down pan under the fan if local code requires
Maintenance Schedule
- Clean impeller and scroll every 3 months for kitchen duty (more often for high-volume)
- Inspect shaft seal annually; replace if it shows weeping
- Replace grease filters monthly to keep system pressure stable

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it run continuously above 120 °C?
No — 120 °C is the continuous rating. Brief excursions are tolerated, but sustained operation above the rating will damage the shaft seal and motor bearings. For higher temperatures, specify a high-temp variant up front.
How often does the impeller need cleaning?
Quarterly is typical for restaurant kitchen exhaust; monthly for very greasy duties (frying lines, charbroil). A clean impeller can lose 20–30% of its airflow capacity in a few months without service.
