“Well-being in our kitchens has a direct impact on the quality of our service.”
Renowned Catalan chef Nandu Jubany, a Michelin-starred culinary leader and a leading name in haute cuisine, relies on SODECA’s ventilation solutions to improve the environmental conditions in his kitchens. His experience reflects a reality that is becoming increasingly evident in the gastronomy sector: air quality is a key factor for team comfort, work efficiency, and the sustainability of culinary activity.
ECOLOGY UNIT solutions for professional kitchens
To address these needs, SODECA has developed the ECOLOGY UNIT solutions—ventilation systems specifically designed for professional kitchens that integrate a fan and advanced filtration within a single F400-certified unit. These systems filter and treat the air before it is discharged outdoors, removing smoke, grease particles, and odours.
One of the key elements of these solutions is the incorporation of high-efficiency electrostatic filters, capable of removing up to 95% of grease, smoke, and microparticles present in the air.
The filtration process is based on the ionization of contaminant particles through a high-voltage electric field. These charged particles are then attracted to a collector cell, where they are retained, allowing much cleaner air to be discharged outdoors.
This system not only improves air quality but also provides significant advantages in professional kitchens:
• Reduction of grease accumulation in ducts
• Lower fire risk
• Reduced odour emissions to the outside
• Lower maintenance costs
Solutions with the highest standards of performance and safety
SODECA’s ECOLOGY UNIT solutions are F400 certified (400 °C / 2 h) according to EN 12101-3, ensuring their ability to continue operating under extreme conditions, such as smoke extraction in the event of a fire.
This certification guarantees that the fan and the filtration system have been tested as a single unit, providing reliable operation and compliance with the regulations applicable to industrial kitchens.
With the development of ECOLOGY UNIT solutions such as the CJBDT/ALS-FE and the CJTXR-FE, SODECA reaffirms its commitment to more efficient, safer, and environmentally responsible ventilation.
These units combine a fan and electrostatic filtration within a F400-certified assembly, providing a complete solution for air extraction and treatment in professional kitchens with demanding operating requirements.
SODECA will continue to invest in the development of advanced ventilation solutions, such as the ECOLOGY UNIT range, helping improve air quality, enhance safety in professional kitchens, and reduce the environmental impact of installations.
