Specialists in energy-efficient kitchen ventilation.
With more than 25 years’ experience in the Commercial Kitchen industry, we have developed innovative products with sustainability at the centre of our focus. We provide innovative solutions designed to enable energy users to meet their environmental targets, improve profitability and add value.
Our solutions include;
Cheetah:
Cheetah from Quintex is a Demand Control Kitchen Ventilation System (DCKV) for commercial kitchens.
Think of your home extraction fan. It typically has three speed settings, from one to three. For example, when you’re boiling an egg or simmering soups or stews, you’d likely choose speed setting one because there’s only mild steam. On the other hand, if you’re grilling or frying a steak, where the food produces a lot of steam and smoke, you’d use the highest setting, three.
Cheetah operates in a similar way but does it autonomously. Depending on the activity on the cookline, Cheetah intelligently adjusts fan speeds, speeding up or slowing down as needed to match the demand.
Sensors are installed in the canopy and ductwork to monitor the cooking activity on the cookline. Cheetah slows down the fan speeds to as low as 40% during low-demand periods, which uses only 6.4% of the required power. This results in a reduction in the fans energy consumption by up to 80%
Ecofix:
Ecofix from Quintex is a safe, automatic and eco-friendly Grease Management System and comes with full environmental health certification. Using advanced biological technology, Ecofix penetrates every element of a cooker extraction and ventilation unit, cleaning as it goes and putting an end to costly and time consuming manual cleaning procedures. Ecofix works by introducing fine micro droplets of an environmentally friendly biological formula into commercial kitchen extraction and ventilation systems, ensuring that wherever air flows Ecofix will follow. Into ductwork, canopies, filters, fans, silencers and ventilated ceilings
Lepido:
Lepido is a heavy-duty heat recovery unit for restaurant ventilation. It is built to withstand grease and soot without the use of filtering techniques. Lepido recovers energy from polluted airstreams with up to 68% efficiency thanks to its patented Particle Repellent Geometry (PRG). Lepido, being a heavy-duty heat exchanger, is larger compared to a traditional heat exchanger to make room for its patented geometry of the recovery coils. The space between the coils is much larger than between fins of a traditional heat exchanger. The result is a unique airflow pattern where most of the particles can pass through the heat exchanger instead of sticking to the coils. This slows down the build-up on the coils and makes the air pressure drop minimal, even if a coating has formed. Lepido, being coil-based with one hundred percent counter-current and multiple fluid patterns, has the same heat transmission element surface area as a traditional heat exchanger.
