The Simcohood SHA1700 Asian Type Exhaust Canopy is a robust, commercial-grade ventilation solution specifically engineered for the demanding environment of professional kitchens, particularly those specialising in high-heat, wok-style Asian cuisine. Measuring 1700 x 1150 mm, this canopy is designed to efficiently capture and remove smoke, grease, steam, and odours, ensuring a clean, safe, and comfortable working environment. Its superior design and construction contribute significantly to maintaining air quality, complying with health regulations, and enhancing overall kitchen hygiene. Key benefits include improved operator comfort, reduced fire risk, extended lifespan of kitchen equipment, and a more pleasant dining experience for customers.
Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, the Simcohood SHA1700 is built to withstand the rigours of continuous commercial use. Its 'Asian Type' design features an optimised internal structure for effective capture and containment of the intense heat and particulate matter generated by wok cooking and other high-temperature applications. The canopy incorporates heavy-duty baffle filters that efficiently trap grease, preventing it from entering the ductwork and reducing fire hazards. The fully welded construction ensures durability and ease of cleaning, making it a reliable and long-lasting investment for any busy commercial kitchen.
The Simcohood SHA1700 exhaust canopy is designed to meet the stringent ventilation requirements for commercial kitchens in Australia, helping operators comply with local health and safety regulations. While specific AS/NZS standards for mechanical ventilation systems apply to the overall installation (including fans and ductwork), this canopy provides the essential capture component. It is ideal for a wide range of commercial applications including:
Not suitable for: Small domestic kitchens, mobile food vans, or low-volume cafes requiring only minimal ventilation.
While the Simcohood SHA1700 is a passive component, its efficient design minimises strain on your exhaust fan system. This contributes to reduced fan energy consumption and extends fan lifespan, leading to operational savings. For illustrative purposes, a typical commercial exhaust fan system (e.g., 1.5 kW) running 8 hours a day at an average electricity cost of $0.30/kWh would incur a daily energy cost of approximately $3.60 (1.5 kW * 8 hrs * $0.30/kWh). A well-designed canopy like the SHA1700 ensures the fan operates efficiently, preventing unnecessary energy waste.
Investing in a high-quality canopy like the SHA1700 offers significant indirect ROI. Superior grease filtration reduces duct cleaning frequency, saving on maintenance costs and preventing potential fines from non-compliance. Improved air quality enhances staff comfort and productivity, reducing turnover and boosting overall kitchen efficiency. The robust stainless steel construction also ensures a long service life, deferring replacement costs and providing excellent value over time.
An "Asian Type" canopy is specifically designed with a larger capture volume and often a deeper profile to effectively manage the higher heat, intense smoke, and grease generated by wok cooking and other high-temperature Asian culinary techniques. This ensures superior extraction efficiency in demanding environments.
The primary maintenance involves regularly cleaning the stainless steel baffle filters. These should be removed and cleaned daily or weekly, depending on usage, to prevent grease build-up and maintain optimal airflow. The canopy's interior and exterior should also be wiped down regularly.
No, the purchase price covers the Simcohood SHA1700 canopy unit and free metro delivery only. Installation, including connection to an exhaust fan system and ductwork, must be arranged separately with qualified professionals.
The appropriate exhaust fan system will depend on various factors, including the type and volume of cooking, ductwork length, and local regulations. We highly recommend consulting with an HVAC specialist or kitchen design expert to specify the correct fan and motor for optimal performance with the SHA1700 canopy.
The Simcohood SHA1700 is a standard exhaust canopy and typically does not include integrated lighting. Lighting fixtures are usually installed separately within the kitchen area or as part of the overall ventilation system design.
