Hoodmaster Economy Low Velocity Commercial Range Hood – Made in New Zealand

Hoodmaster Economy Low Velocity Commercial Range Hood is New Zealand’s first economy low velocity commercial range hood, developed to provide professional extraction performance while significantly reducing airflow requirements. Designed in partnership with Simply Hospitality and manufactured locally by Hoodmaster, this innovative solution offers a practical and cost-effective alternative to traditional commercial hoods.

Unlike conventional AS1668-style box hoods that rely on high capture velocities, the low velocity design achieves effective capture and containment using lower exhaust volumes. This reduces the size and cost of the exhaust fan and make-up air system while also lowering ongoing energy consumption and kitchen noise levels.

Each hood is manufactured from high-quality T304 stainless steel and fitted with UL1046-approved stainless steel baffle filters for excellent grease removal and easy cleaning. High-efficiency LED lighting is integrated to provide industry-standard illumination over the cooking surface, helping create a safer and more comfortable working environment.

Designed and built in New Zealand, the Hoodmaster Economy Low Velocity Range Hood combines proven engineering, quality local fabrication and a focus on reducing total project cost for commercial kitchen operators.
