Unified Brands CHINOOK From Flexible, To Cutting Edge, Vent Filtration, Style, Taku Axwp Dry

We’ve got you covered.

Your kitchen’s ventilation needs are unique. Customization and flexibility are a necessity in today’s performance-driven market. That’s why Avtec offers a choice of high-quality, reliable systems — from our value-driven CHINOOK Value Ventilation line to our cutting- edge TAKU Premier Ventilation models — to help you capture a gentle or stronger wind. Both offer a variety of hood designs, along with many functional and

From Flexible ...

CHINOOK, derived from a warm downward sloping wind, offers great value for the cost-conscious kitchen. Standard features include attractive single-shell hood with stainless steel on exposed surfaces.

The systems also feature pre-wired, UL-listed incandescent light fixtures, as well as aluminum grease filters, a removable grease trough and grease cup for easy cleanup, and built-in, three-inch rear air space. An optional zero-inch clearance is approved for use against combustible surfaces and is available on the top, back, or ends.

...To Cutting Edge

TAKU, derived from an Alaskan wind that can reach hurricane force, is our top-of-the- line ventilation system. It’s ideal for open kitchens where designer-driven aesthetics are a must. A double-skin ventilation hood allows customized interior and exterior finishes to match any décor.

TAKU models feature heavy 300 series stainless steel throughout. Pre-wired, UL listed light fixtures are designed not to exceed three-feet on center, giving you the light you need. A concealed grease gutter and removable grease cup add to the pleasing aesthetics, as do stainless steel grease filters or modular grease extractor cartridges—as well as our popular programmable water wash system for applications that require the best available technology on the market. Adjustable location hanger brackets and built-in, three-inch rear air space are standard.

Our CHINOOK and TAKU models are available in three basic hood designs to meet the specific application you’re designing.

1. Exhaust Only Exhaust only is a design that allows for some of the lowest exhaust

rates in the industry. You control what and where air is exhausted, without the extensive

requirements of internal make-up air equipment. It is ideal for new constructions where

make-up air can be adequately replaced through building design and for existing make-

up air systems with adequate capacity to replace exhausted air.

2. Front Face Make-Up Air Front face make-up air (MUA) is a popular, inexpensive

design that supplies heated, cooled, or ambient air to the cooking area via several

methods:

• Perforated flat front MUA: Spreads an even flow of supply air across the face of

the ventilation system. This design economically introduces high volumes of

supply air without the need for ceiling or wall diffusers.

• Perforated sloped front MUA: Allows the same low-velocity, even flow as the flat

front method, yet directs airflow downward as well as outward. As much as 90

percent of exhausted air can be replaced, limiting the expense of additional

return air diffusers.

visually aesthetic options.

The ventilation systems share Avtec’s reputation for innovation. Whether you’re looking for standardized equipment, just a couple of options, or a one-of-a- kind system, our design engineers can help. As a technology leader, we have the expertise and experience to deliver a solution that will fit any need or budget.

•	Front face diffuser: Employs double deflection diffusers that offer greater
	flexibility in adjusting and directing airflow to ensure the proper air movement
	in your environment.

There are no tools needed for perforated front face MUA hoods—an Avtec specialty. Removable panels easily lift up and pull out for easy cleaning, making this one of the easiest-to-maintain designs on the market.

3. Short Circuit Make-Up Air Short circuit make-up air is a design—popular for

light-duty cooking equipment—that minimizes the amount of air removed from the area by

supplying make-up air directly under the hood. The amount of exhaust varies with kitchen

design, so discuss your application with us to get the right design to meet your needs:

• Internal slot short circuit: Your best choice for low-heat, low-grease applications.

Internal MUA condenses steam and guides the effluent in the capture plenum

toward the capture device. Make-up air is supplied through a slot with a

perforated plate, evenly distributing air.

• Internal diffuser: More efficient than the slot style, as the diffuser assembly

— located inside the capture plenum — is targeted directionally to ensure more

•Internal diffuser with capture curtain: This specially engineered design creates a face velocity, while the internal diffuser supplies a stream of air directed at the filters, making it the most efficient short circuit ventilation design on the market. Ideal for medium- and high-temperature cooking.

Available on all hood designs All of our hood designs are available with UL-listed grease filters or modular grease extractor cartridges.

•UL-listed grease filters:Capture grease particulates on the filter surface through impingement and deliver them to the grease gutter.

•Modular grease extractor cartridges: Remove extreme amounts of grease from the air stream! Both our high-volume exhaust cartridge (for high air volumes) and low-volume exhaust cartridge (for low- to mid-range air volumes) are rigorously tested to ensure optimal performance.
