Unified Brands CHINOOK プリント

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 
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.

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.

 

  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. 

  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.

• 

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.

  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 

efficient use and capture of the cooking and combustion effluent. Ideal for low- 

and medium-temperature cooking.

• 

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.

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.

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.
