The Revolution in Air Purification: Luis Capdevila’s UV Filter

If there is one thing that sets Luis Capdevila apart in the professional kitchen sector, it is the relentless pursuit of innovation and efficiency. As pioneers in advanced air conditioning solutions, their range of hoods and filtering ceilings has set a new standard in the industry. Now, they have taken it a step further with the introduction of the most advanced and safest UV filter on the market.

The Technology Behind the Change

Luis Capdevila’s UV filter is designed for industrial kitchen extractor hoods and employs 254 nm UV-C radiation technology to eliminate microorganisms and break down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and grease. This not only significantly improves air quality but also reduces odors and minimizes fire risks by preventing residue buildup in the ducts.

Standout Technical Features

The filter is made of AISI 304 stainless steel, known for its high reflectivity that maximizes system efficiency. Equipped with eight 40 W UV lamps and a lifespan of 10,000 hours, it ensures long-lasting and reliable performance. Additionally, its touchscreen control system allows:

• Turning the lamps on and off.
• Tracking the operating hours.
• Intelligent maintenance alerts.

Total Safety

Safety is a fundamental pillar in the design of this filter. Luis Capdevila has implemented several protection systems to ensure completely safe operation:

• Intelligent Activation: UV-C lamps do not turn on if the filters are not correctly placed.
• Automatic Ozone Control: The system only activates when the extraction fan is running, preventing dangerous ozone buildup.
• Maintenance Alerts: Automatic notifications ensure stable long-term performance.

Maximum Efficiency

The UV filter stands out not only for its safety but also for its efficiency. Its ability to break down grease and VOCs not only reduces dirt in the ducts but also extends the lifespan of the ventilation box. The high density of strategically distributed UV lamps maximizes the effectiveness of the disinfection system.

Applications in Demanding Environments

This innovative system is designed to meet the needs of:

• Industrial kitchens in restaurants, hotels, and hospitals.
• Food production centers.
• Cooking areas with high levels of smoke and grease.

With this new UV filter, Luis Capdevila reaffirms its commitment to excellence and technological leadership. It is not just about meeting today’s standards but anticipating the needs of tomorrow. Because when something is trending, Luis Capdevila has already developed its best version.
