This is how our UV-C technology works

In professional kitchens, the difference between a good extraction system and a truly exceptional one is measured in safety, hygiene, and durability. Every day, dozens of restaurants, hotels, and culinary spaces rely on equipment capable of working non-stop, ensuring clean air, odor control, and protection against risks arising from intensive use. In this context, UV-C technology has become an essential ally.

At Luis Capdevila, we have spent years perfecting these types of solutions, and our UV-C hood is one of the clearest examples of how engineering can elevate the quality of kitchen work without compromising aesthetics or reliability.

Here’s how it works:

1. A touchscreen that controls everything
The hood integrates a programmable touchscreen that displays the filtration status and automatically notifies when maintenance is required. At a glance, professionals can monitor system performance, anticipate any issues, and ensure it always operates at peak efficiency.

2. Maximum air quality thanks to high-density UV-C lamps
At the heart of the system are the UV-C lamps. Their density ensures extremely effective filtration of particles and vapors, while also eliminating odors from inside the hood to the extraction duct.
This treatment inhibits bacterial growth and significantly reduces the risk of fire, as it prevents dangerous grease accumulation.

3. Triple level of safety
It is essential that the UV-C system only operates when appropriate. That’s why the hood incorporates a triple safety level:
• Automatic filter detection: if a filter is not properly in place, UV-C filtration is deactivated.
• Airflow detection: if the fan is not running, the UV-C light does not activate.
• Activation and deactivation linked to the main power: this prevents malfunctions and extends the life of the entire system.

Smart protection for an environment that demands precision.

4. Dynamic filtration: the first line of defense
The first filtration stage is carried out using SUPRA filters, compact and with a much longer lifespan than louvered filters. They are the foundation of a system designed to minimize maintenance without compromising effectiveness.

5. Robustness you can feel: welded hood
The fully welded structure provides strength, stability, and a flawless presence in any professional kitchen. It is not just technical equipment; it is part of the workspace architecture.

6. Integrated front air supply
The hood features an air supply system at the front, offering a double advantage:
• It supplies fresh air directly to the work area.
• It keeps the UV-C controller electronics cool, ensuring a much longer lifespan.

At Luis Capdevila, we continue to invest in solutions that combine innovation, durability, and design. Because a professional kitchen deserves equipment that matches its standards.
