Managing the smoke, grease-laden vapor, and odors produced by different cooking appliances is often a hurdle in commercial kitchens. Traditional fixed ventilation hoods, though widely used, come with significant downsides. They are expensive to purchase and install, require extensive structural and HVAC modifications, and are subject to strict regulatory hurdles that can delay projects or even halt them altogether. Their fixed nature limits where appliances can be placed, restricts kitchen layouts, and adds ongoing maintenance and high energy costs to your operation.
That’s why Equipex created the Small Appliance Ventilation System (SA Vent)—an innovative, ventless solution designed to eliminate the need for traditional hoods, offering unmatched flexibility to position cooking appliances exactly where they’re needed. Powered by a standard 120V outlet, SA Vents are easy to assemble, maintain, and clean, making them an ideal choice for expanding your menu offerings without the constraints of traditional hoods. With SA Vents, you can embrace creativity and elevate your kitchen capabilities, all while avoiding the significant costs, delays, and limitations of fixed ventilation systems.
