SK Air System

S.S. Exhaust Hood with G.I. Ducting is a specialized ventilation system commonly used in commercial kitchens, designed to efficiently remove smoke, grease, heat, and odors produced during cooking processes. This system is made up of a Stainless Steel (S.S.) Exhaust Hood and Galvanized Iron (G.I.) Ducting to ensure the proper functioning of the exhaust system while maintaining durability and resistance to corrosion.

1. S.S. Exhaust Hood:

   • Material: The exhaust hood is made of stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion, heat, and stains. This makes it ideal for use in commercial kitchens where moisture, grease, and high temperatures are common.
   • Design: Typically designed to cover the cooking equipment below it, the hood draws in hot air, smoke, grease, and other contaminants. It is equipped with grease filters, lighting, and a fan for suction.
   • Grease Collection: S.S. exhaust hoods often feature grease collection trays or filters (such as baffle or mesh filters) that trap grease particles before they can enter the ductwork, which helps to prevent the accumulation of grease in the ducts and reduces fire risk.
   • Ventilation: The hood ensures that all the cooking byproducts are effectively removed from the kitchen and discharged outside the building.

2. G.I. Ducting (Galvanized Iron Ducting):

   • Material: Galvanized Iron (G.I.) is steel that has been coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion. It is commonly used for ductwork in commercial kitchens because of its balance of durability, cost-effectiveness, and resistance to moisture and corrosion.
   • Function: G.I. ducts connect the exhaust hood to the outdoor vent, allowing the extracted air (containing smoke, heat, and grease) to be safely vented outside the kitchen. The ducts can be round or rectangular, depending on the design and space available.
   • Smooth Interior: The interior of the G.I. ducting is smooth to allow for better airflow, reducing the chance of buildup and enhancing the efficiency of the exhaust system.
   • Sealing: Proper sealing of the duct joints is essential to prevent air leaks, which could reduce the system's effectiveness and lead to energy loss.
