Exhaust Hood
Ventilation Systems
for Pro Kitchens
Wall canopy hoods, island hoods, steam plant exhaust, make-up air systems and complete ductwork — Apollo Equipments custom-fabricates commercial kitchen exhaust hood systems in SS 304, designed to your kitchen layout, cooking load and FSSAI compliance requirements.
Exhaust Hoods: The Safety Foundation of Every Commercial Kitchen
A properly designed exhaust hood system is not optional in a commercial kitchen — it is a legal requirement under FSSAI regulations, a fire safety necessity and the primary factor that determines whether kitchen staff can work safely throughout a full service period. Heat, smoke, grease-laden vapour, steam and carbon monoxide from commercial cooking equipment must be captured at source and discharged safely outside the building.
Undersized or poorly positioned hoods allow grease to accumulate in ductwork — creating a serious fire hazard — while insufficient air extraction leads to overheating, poor air quality and rapid staff fatigue. An overdraft system without make-up air creates negative pressure that makes kitchen doors difficult to operate and draws fumes back in from other openings.
Apollo Equipments designs and manufactures complete commercial kitchen exhaust hood systems at our SS fabrication facility in Ahmedabad — engineering each system to your specific cooking equipment, kitchen volume, ceiling height and compliance requirements. From a single 1200mm burner hood to a complete multi-zone ventilation system for a 5-star hotel kitchen, we deliver turnkey solutions across India.
Every Ventilation System, One Manufacturer
From a single wall-mounted hood to a complete multi-zone ventilation system with make-up air — Apollo engineers and fabricates every component in SS 304.
Wall-Mounted Canopy Hood
The most common exhaust hood type — mounted against a wall above a cooking suite. Available in single-skin and double-skin versions with integral lighting, grease filters and fan sections from 900mm to 4000mm wide.
Island Canopy Hood
Suspended from the ceiling above a central cooking island — provides 360° capture of heat, smoke and grease from all cooking positions. Custom fabricated to match any island cooking suite dimension.
Low-Profile Proximity Hood
Compact hoods positioned close to the cooking surface for kitchens with low ceiling heights. Achieves full capture performance with shorter drop height — ideal for mezzanine kitchens and basement restaurants.
Steam Plant Hood
Dedicated exhaust hoods for steam cooking zones — kettles, tilting pans, combination ovens and pressure steamers. Features condensation collection, moisture-rated fans and insulated ductwork.
Ductwork & Risers
Complete SS 304 ductwork systems from hood to external discharge — horizontal runs, vertical risers, roof penetrations and external discharge cowls. Fire-rated duct casing available for multi-floor buildings.
Make-Up Air Systems
Fresh air supply units that replace extracted air volume to maintain balanced kitchen pressure. Variable-speed controlled and optionally tempered — essential for kitchens extracting above 3000 CFM.
Burner with Exhaust System
Direct-Capture Ventilation Above Every Cooking Station
Apollo's burner exhaust systems are installed directly above commercial burner banks — capturing heat, smoke, grease fumes and combustion gases at the source before they spread across the kitchen. A commercial kitchen typically features multiple high-output burners for frying, boiling, grilling and sautéing, all generating intense heat and smoke simultaneously. Without dedicated exhaust capture at each station, these pollutants fill the kitchen rapidly, creating unsafe working conditions and fire hazard from grease accumulation in ductwork. Apollo fabricates each burner exhaust hood in heavy-gauge SS 304 with high-efficiency grease baffles, sized to match the BTU output and number of burners in your cooking station.
- Direct-capture design above each burner — maximum grease and smoke extraction
- High-efficiency SS 304 grease baffle filters — easy to remove and wash
- Centrifugal or axial fans sized to your burner BTU load
- Custom hood width and depth to cover full burner bank
- FSSAI and fire safety compliant construction and installation
Kitchen Exhaust Hood
Central Canopy Hood — Custom-Fabricated for Any Kitchen Layout
The kitchen exhaust hood is the central component of the ventilation system in any commercial kitchen — positioned above all cooking zones, it captures heat, smoke, grease, steam and odours produced during cooking. Apollo fabricates custom canopy hoods in SS 304 that span entire cooking suites — from a single 1200mm wall-mounted hood above a small restaurant range to a 6000mm+ island hood above a full hotel kitchen cooking suite. Every hood includes integral lighting, grease baffle filters, service access panels and connection flanges for ductwork. Hood sizing, hanging height and fan specification are all calculated to your kitchen's specific cooking load.
- Custom width from 900mm to 6000mm+ — any cooking suite coverage
- Wall-mounted, island and double-island configurations
- Integral LED lighting for bright, safe cooking zone illumination
- Removable SS grease baffle filters for easy hygiene maintenance
- Service access panels for fan motor and lighting maintenance
Steam Cooking Plant Exhaust
Moisture Control for Steam Kettles, Tilting Pans & Combi Ovens
Steam cooking is standard in large-scale commercial kitchens — hotels, hospitals, institutional canteens and catering companies all use steam kettles, tilting boiling pans and combi ovens that produce large volumes of hot moisture simultaneously. Without dedicated steam exhaust, this moisture promotes mold growth in wall and ceiling cavities, damages electrical equipment, corrodes structural steelwork and creates slippery floors from condensation. Apollo designs dedicated steam plant exhaust hoods with condensation collection troughs, high-CFM fans sized for moisture-laden air, and insulated ductwork to prevent condensation forming in ducts before the air reaches the external discharge point.
- Condensation collection trough prevents drip onto cooking equipment
- High-CFM fans rated for continuous moisture-laden air extraction
- Insulated ductwork prevents secondary condensation inside ducts
- Covers kettles, tilting pans, pressure steamers and combi ovens
- Prevents mold, structural corrosion and slip hazards from steam
Make-Up Air System
Balanced Pressure — Essential for High-Volume Exhaust Systems
A make-up air unit is a critical but often overlooked component of any high-volume kitchen ventilation system. When exhaust fans extract large volumes of air from the kitchen, negative pressure builds up — causing kitchen doors to be hard to open, drawing exhaust gases back in from other outlets, and making the exhaust system work harder and less efficiently. Apollo supplies and integrates make-up air units that introduce fresh tempered air into the kitchen space at the same volume as the exhaust — maintaining neutral or slight positive pressure. This ensures the exhaust system operates at rated efficiency, reduces energy consumption and keeps the kitchen comfortable for staff throughout the service period.
- Maintains neutral kitchen pressure — exhaust system runs at rated efficiency
- Eliminates door-opening difficulty and exhaust back-drafting problems
- Variable speed drive allows air volume to match operational demand
- Optional heating or cooling of incoming make-up air
- Fully integrated with exhaust hood BMS controls
