Magic Lung® Blower Technology
A Smarter Way to Ventilate
As the original authority in kitchen ventilation, Vent-A-Hood revolutionized the category with patented Magic Lung® technology. Magic Lung® outperforms conventional range hood systems by taking a fundamentally different approach to ventilation.
First, a large open canopy captures cooking vapors before they escape into the kitchen. Grease is then separated from the airflow using centrifugal force instead of mesh or baffle filters. With no restrictive filters, Magic Lung® moves large volumes of air more efficiently—and more quietly.
The result is more effective ventilation, remarkably quiet performance and a cleaner, more comfortable kitchen.
Patented centrifugal filtration separates 99% of grease from cooking vapors before it reaches the blower or ductwork, helping keep the entire ventilation system cleaner.
Without the excessive noise associated with conventional filter-based systems, Magic Lung® lets conversations, entertaining and everyday life flow naturally.
Each Magic Lung® blower delivers 300 CFM of airflow—equivalent to 450 CFM in conventional filter-based hoods. Up to eight blowers can be combined within a single hood for a total of 2,400 CFM (3,600 Equivalent CFM), making it easy to match ventilation power to virtually any kitchen or cooking style.
Magic Lung® separates grease from the airflow before it enters the ductwork instead of trapping it in mesh or baffle filters. This prevents grease buildup in the ventilation system and the potential for flame spread.
A pull-out grease tray, removable blower wheels and a snap-apart blower housing provide convenient access to dishwasher-safe components for a more thorough clean than conventional filter-based designs.
SensaSource® automatically increases blower speed when elevated cooking temperatures are detected, improving grease capture while adding an extra layer of fire protection.
Low-Profile Blower Technology
High Performance in Compact Spaces
Designed for installations where cabinet height or space is limited, the Low-Profile system brings the proven benefits of Vent-A-Hood’s centrifugal blower technology to a compact design
The Low-Profile blower uses the same centrifugal filtration principles as Magic Lung®, delivering effective grease removal and trusted Vent-A-Hood performance in space-constrained installations.
With no restrictive mesh or baffle filters to impede airflow, the Low-Profile system delivers quieter operation than conventional filter-based systems.
By separating grease from the airflow before it enters the ductwork, the Low-Profile system helps reduce buildup and the potential for flame spread.
Dishwasher-safe grease collection trays and accessible internal components make routine cleaning quick and convenient.
Ductless Ventilation Technology
Powerful Ventilation Without Exterior Ducting
When exterior venting isn’t possible, Vent-A-Hood’s Ductless hoods pair the centrifugal grease extraction of our Low-Profile blower with patented ARS (Air Recovery System) technology. A sophisticated four-phase process captures cooking vapors and removes contaminants before filtered air is returned to the kitchen.
It all starts with active cooking vapor capture through our open-canopy design. Grease is then extracted though centrifugal filtration before air passes through an activated carbon odor filter and—finally—a fine-particle filter that removes smoke, dust and debris.
ARS uses more than a pound of active carbon pellets, providing enormous surface area for capturing cooking odors. Because grease is removed before the air reaches the carbon, it stays cleaner and more effective than the filters used in many conventional ductless hoods.
Dishwasher-safe grease collection trays and accessible filtration components make upkeep quick and convenient.
Baffle Filter Ventilation
Traditional Filtration. Trusted Performance.
For those who prefer a conventional ventilation approach, Vent-A-Hood offers a selection of range hoods featuring stainless steel baffle filters. With straightforward operation, multiple blower options and quality stainless steel construction, Baffle Filter hoods provide a practical solution for a wide range of residential kitchens.
Dishwasher-safe baffle filters provide an effective approach to grease capture and ventilation for a wide range of cooking applications.
