Considerations
- Ducted systems require fan selection & make‑up air planning.
- Ductless units suit electric appliances; check local code.
- Confirm ceiling fixings & clearances; heavier sizes need bracing.
- Custom builds may have longer lead times.
Pro Advice
- Small café lines: SH1000–1500 (1000 mm deep) sized ~200–300 mm wider than the cookline.
- Wok stations: choose SHA (1150 mm deep) for capture & spatter control.
- No duct path: DH1500/1800 ductless stations for electric loads up to ~8 kW per appliance.
- Match SH vs SHA vs Ductless to heat load, menu & compliance.

Buying Guide: Simcohood Exhaust Hoods
| Criteria | Exhaust Canopies (SH) | Asian Canopies (SHA) | Ductless Stations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Typical hot lines (griddles, fryers, ranges) | High‑heat wok cooking; heavy vapour | No duct path / tenancy constraints (electric only) |
| Airflow & Size | 1000 mm deep; width ≥ cookline + 200–300 mm | 1150 mm deep for capture and spatter | ≈400–500 L/s with multi‑stage filtration |
| Power / Setup | Duct + fan + make‑up air per AS 1668 | Duct + fan; check wok heat load & clearance | No roof duct; electric appliances up to ~8 kW |
| Maintenance | Clean honeycomb filters; quarterly duct check | As left + more frequent filter service | Replace polyester (8–12 weeks) & carbon (≈12 months) filters |
Tip: size by peak heat load and add 200–300 mm width beyond the cookline. Confirm fan selection, make‑up air and local compliance early.
How to specify Simcohood
- Measure the cookline (width, depth, appliance types) and pick wall vs island canopy.
- Choose depth: 1000 mm (SH) for general lines or 1150 mm (SHA) for woks.
- Decide ducted vs ductless (ductless for electric only; check site rules).
- Select fan/airflow to AS 1668; plan make‑up air and electricals.
- Lock in accessories: LED lighting, baffles/honeycomb, drip trays; set cleaning intervals.
FAQ
Are Simcohood canopies compliant with AS 1668?
Yes—Simcohood canopies are designed to comply with AS 1668 for commercial kitchen ventilation. Fan selection and installation must also meet code.
What size canopy do I need?
As a rule of thumb, select a canopy at least 200–300 mm wider than the cookline. Use 1150 mm‑deep SHA models for wok lines to improve capture.
When is a ductless station appropriate?
Use ductless stations in sites without duct access and over electric equipment. They’re not a substitute for ducted extraction over gas appliances unless your local authority explicitly permits it.
