Grease Extraction

Grease Extraction

THE PATENTED MAGIC LUNG GEASE EXTRACTOR COLLECTS 99% OF THE

GREASE 100% OF THE TIMETWIN CITIES ENGINEERING LABORATORY

5% TO 70% VARIABLE GREASE EXTRACTION IS COLLECTED IN THE FILTER DURING TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL COOKING

ENGINEERS ASSOCIATION

• As the mesh filter get greasy it chokes the air flow

• The higher density the mesh, the more effective the grease capture and more it restricts the air flow

• The lesser density mesh will allow better air flow but doesn't capture the grease

• There is no good combination

Mesh / Screen Filters

• Baffle filters utilize centrifuge technology and can remove up to 70% of the grease when at high speed.

• When baffle style hoods are at high speeds they are producing high levels of sound.

• When baffle style hoods are at any speed other than high the vapor particles pass freely through the filter.

Quietest Brand and Powerful

EACH MAGIC LUNG BLOWER SUPPLIES 300 CFM OF AIR FLOW-COMBINING MULTIPLE

BLOWERS WILL MEET ANY AIR FLOW REQUIREMENT WITHOUT INCREASING THE

NOISE LEVEL

300 CFM = 5.4 SONES600 CFM = 6.5 SONES900 CFM = 6.3 SONES

1200 CFM = 6.6 SONES

VARIABLE SPEED BLOWERS BECOME LOUDER AND LOUDER AS CFM INCREASES

300 CFM = 6.0 SONES600 CFM = 9.0 SONES

900 CFM = 12.0 SONES1200 CFM = 15.0 SONES

EFFICIENT

A FILTER-STYLE CLOSED CANOPYRESTRICTS AIR FLOW

A VENT-A-HOOD SYSTEM HAS A WIDE OPEN, ACTIVE COLLECTOR THAT REMOVES

CONTAMINANTS. A PROPER COLLECTOR IS THE MOST CRITICAL ELEMENT FOR GOOD COOKING VENTILATION AND REQUIRES 1/3

LESS AIR FLOW THAN A FILTER-STYLE RANGE HOOD

EASY TO CLEAN

THE NEW IN-THE-SHIELD GREASE TRAY MAKE ROUTINE CLEANING

EASIER THAN EVER.

CLEANING THE GREASE BEHIND THE FILTERS IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.

GREASE COATS THE MOTORS, COMPONENTS AND WIRING.

• Cleaning the grease behind the baffle filters is nearly impossible.

THE MAGIC LUNG BLOWER IS DESIGNED TO KEEP GREASE AND FLAME FROM ENTERING

THE DUCT. IN OVER 75 YEARS, VENT-A-HOOD HAS NEVER RECEIVED A REPORT OF AN

ATTIC OR WALL FIRE WHEN A MAGIC LUNG HAS BEEN IN USE.

GREASY FILTERS AND DUCTING ARE FLAMMABLE. FIRE INSURANCE CLAIMS

AGAINST FILTERED HOODS ARE COMMON. COOKING FIRES ARE THE LEADING CAUSE
