  • Pros: A genuine problem-solver for sites with planning or structural restrictions.
  • Cons: Best suited for medium-duty lines, not for extremely high-volume wok cooking.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Teapot, a bustling tearoom operating from a Grade II listed building in Bath, wanted to introduce a hot brunch menu featuring griddled items. Traditional extraction was vetoed by planning officers, putting their expansion plans on hold.

"We were completely stuck. We couldn't knock holes in the walls, but the fumes from a new griddle would have been too much for our small space. The Lincat Smart Vent was the only solution that worked. It was installed in an afternoon, and  the air is perfectly clean. Our customers love the new menu."

Michael Davies – Owner, The Gilded Teapot

This single investment enabled the launch of their full brunch menu, increasing weekend revenue by over 30% within two months.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure the unit is positioned centrally over the heat source for maximum capture efficiency.
  • The system must be installed by a qualified engineer to comply with safety regulations.
  • Check that your power supply matches the 230V, 13A requirement for the plug.
  • Allow adequate clearance around the unit for airflow and  future access to the filters.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the stainless steel exterior daily with a soft cloth and  appropriate cleaner.
  • The primary baffle filters should be removed and  cleaned regularly in a dishwasher or sink.
  • Monitor the machine's indicators for when the internal carbon and  particle filters need replacing.
  • Never operate the unit without all filters correctly in place, as this can damage the fan motor.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Extraction System

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few key things to consider when choosing a Lincat extraction canopy or any ventilation unit.

Match the Size

Your canopy should always be slightly wider and  deeper than your cookline to ensure it effectively captures all rising steam, smoke, and  fumes.

Ducting vs. Recirculating

Consider your premises. If you can easily vent to an outside wall, a traditional ducted system is great. If not, a recirculating system like this SmartVent is the perfect solution.

Check the Airflow Rate

Measured in m³/sec or m³/hr, this tells you how much air the unit can process. The right rate depends on your cooking style (e.g., heavy-duty frying needs more power).

Understand the Filters

Baffle filters are great for grease and  are easy to clean. Carbon filters are essential in recirculating systems for tackling odours. Know what you need and  how to maintain them.

Don't Forget Noise Levels

A noisy kitchen is a stressful one. Check the decibel (dB) rating. A lower number means a quieter, more comfortable working environment for your team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this unit need to be vented to an outside wall?

A: No, absolutely not. The Lincat Smart Vent System 1200mm is a fully self-contained recirculating unit. It filters the air internally and  releases it back into the kitchen, so no ducting is required.

Q: What kind of cooking appliances can I use it with?

A: It is designed for use with both gas and  electric medium to heavy-duty appliances, such as ranges, griddles, and  fryers, up to a typical 900 series depth.

Q: How often do the filters need to be cleaned or replaced?

A: The main baffle filters are washable and  should be cleaned regularly, ideally daily. The internal carbon and  particle filters are disposable and  will need replacing periodically, which the unit will indicate.

Q: Is it difficult to install?

A: Installation is straightforward as it doesn't require ductwork, but it must be carried out by a qualified commercial engineer to ensure it's safely and  correctly positioned and  connected.

Q: How noisy is it when running?

A: It operates at a very reasonable 62 decibels, which is comparable to a normal conversation. It’s designed to be effective without adding excessive noise to the kitchen.

Q: Can I use this for solid fuel appliances like a charcoal grill?

A: No, this unit is not designed for use with solid fuel appliances. It is intended for gas and  electric equipment only.

Q: How do I clean the main body of the unit?

A: The stainless steel construction makes it easy to clean. Simply wipe it down with a soft cloth and  a food-safe stainless steel cleaner.

Q: What is the benefit of the LED lighting?

A: The integrated LED lights provide bright, clear illumination over your cooking area, while using significantly less energy and  lasting much longer than traditional bulbs.

How Lincat’s Four-Stage Filtration Clears the Air

Ever wondered how a commercial ventilation system can work without an external vent? The secret lies in its clever, multi-layered filtration process. Think of it like a high-tech sieve for your kitchen's air. First, a stainless steel baffle filter catches the heavy grease particles. Next, a finer mesh filter traps smaller airborne droplets. The air then passes through a carbon filter, which is the real hero for odours – its porous surface adsorbs the tiny molecules that cause smells. Finally, a particle filter polishes the air, removing any remaining impurities before it's recirculated, clean and  fresh, back into your kitchen. It’s a complete, closed-loop cleaning cycle happening right above your cooktop.
