Professional Kitchen Ventilation —  CF HP, BOX CF HP, CF INOX and Complete Accessories

Professional kitchen ventilation imposes conditions that a standard fan simply cannot meet: air laden with airborne grease, temperatures of 60–80°C at the canopy, continuous operation for dozens of hours per week, and strict noise requirements when the dining room is adjacent. The Professional Kitchens range on ventilation.ro brings together the hood fans designed specifically for these conditions — with an externally mounted motor protected from the hot, greasy airstream, a paddle-wheel rotor with sparse blades that resist grease deposits, and sound-insulated variants for installations where acoustic performance is critical.

CF HP Series — centrifugal hood fan with external motor

CF HP fans are single-inlet medium-pressure centrifugal units with an HP motor mounted externally to the airstream — the motor is not traversed by the hot, greasy extracted air, significantly extending service life compared to direct-drive models. The paddle-wheel rotor with sparse blades is designed specifically for professional kitchens: the blade geometry prevents oil and grease deposit accumulation and simplifies the periodic cleaning required by sanitary regulations.

Available in powers from 0.37 kW (CF 0.5 HP 200) to 5.5 kW (CF 5.5 HP 350) and 7.5 kW (CF 7.5 HP 450), single-phase (230V) and three-phase (400V), with airflows from 2,700 m³/h to over 15,000 m³/h. Galvanised steel casing, IP55 Class F motor, circular connections compatible with standard ductwork.

BOX CF HP Series — hood fan in sound-insulated plenum box

The same CF HP fans mounted in a sound-insulated plenum box with aluminium profile structure, metal corner brackets and galvanised panels with Class A1 polyurethane foam insulation. The box significantly attenuates noise transmitted through the building structure and air ducts — the correct solution for restaurants where the kitchen is close to the dining room, or where noise levels are constrained by project or planning requirements.

All box panels are bolted for quick removal — essential for the periodic cleaning of the fan and box required under EN 16282 hygiene standards and fire safety regulations regarding grease deposits. Available in powers from 1 HP to 5.5 HP, single-phase and three-phase.

CF INOX Series — AISI 304 stainless steel hood fan

The AISI 304 stainless steel variants of the CF HP series, for kitchens where extracted air contains corrosive vapours — acetic acid, organic acids, chlorine from cleaning products — that attack standard galvanised steel. Casing and rotor fully in AISI 304 stainless steel, resistant to temperatures up to 130°C and to the chemical agents specific to the food industry. Available from 0.5 HP (200) to 7.5 HP (450), three-phase.

Complete ventilation kits for kitchen hoods

The range includes ready-to-install kits combining the CF HP fan with circular ductwork (2 × 3 m), 90° bend, discharge reducer, rain protection cap and 5-step speed controller with temperature sensor. The fan automatically speeds up as kitchen temperature rises and reduces speed during low-activity periods, reducing energy consumption by up to 40% compared to fixed-speed operation.

The 2,700 m³/h kit (CF 0.5 HP 200 M4) covers small and medium kitchens. Contact us for higher airflow kits.

Accessories available

Rigid circular ductwork, bends, reducers, back-draught shutters, anti-vibration flexible connectors, rain protection caps, linear and stepped speed controllers, temperature-sensor controllers — everything needed for a complete installation from fan to external discharge.

How to choose the right model

General rule: 80–150 m³/h per kW of installed cooking equipment power. A kitchen with 30 kW installed power requires 2,400–4,500 m³/h extraction airflow. If you have a long duct run with multiple bends, verify that the selected model's static pressure (300–600 Pa for the CF HP series) covers the installation resistance.
