Backshelf Low Proximity Hoods

Is your commercial kitchen smaller than average? Do you operate a food truck kitchen or mobile concession trailer? Are you looking for the right commercial kitchen ventilation system for your space? If so, a low proximity backshelf hood may be exactly what you’re looking for.

When purchasing a commercial vent hood for your kitchen, it’s important to select the right size for the job. If your low proximity hood is too big, it can become very costly. Too small and your backshelf hood won’t be able to exhaust contaminated air quickly enough.

When your kitchen is small, a low proximity hood can be the ideal solution. Especially in situations where wall and ceiling space are at a premium. Backshelf hoods can even be installed back to back to create an island with equipment on either side with storage above. If you’re short on space, this is the low proximity backshelf hood for you.

Low proximity backshelf hoods are used with all types of cooking except for extremely heavy-duty applications that may include charbroilers, woks, and open flame or solid fuel cooking. Backshelf hoods are widely used in quick-service chains, small restaurants and food service establishments, food trucks, and concession trailers.

Unlike typical wall mounted, compact backshelf hoods are installed more closely to the appliances they exhaust. Low proximity hoods are usually installed about 10 to 36 inches above the cooking surface they vent. Low proximity backshelf hoods are shorter in height and depth than a typical canopy hood and have end panels as well as an added lip around the front edge to help capture and contain smoke and grease vapors more efficiently.

Because low proximity hoods are so efficient and located closely to the cooking surfaces, they can operate with a lower airflow than other commercial vent hoods. Using a low proximity backshelf hood may also reduce the makeup air supply rate. These reduced airflow requirements mean noticeable energy savings for your commercial kitchen.
