<\/p>\nWith net zero and energy efficiency high on the agenda for commercial kitchen operators, we are proud to have launched our latest range of Qube inline ducted box fans. The new EC versions are energy efficient and suitable for high temperature commercial kitchen ventilation applications, as well as for general ambient temperature building ventilation.<\/p>\n
The upgraded models of the Qube, which are available in AC as well as EC, is our most popular set of centrifugal box fans and come with significant design enhancements that make them easier to install and maintain. The new EC variants offer better energy efficiency and performance, as well as control and integration into building management systems.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the restaurant market is showcasing signs of resilience against the widely expected post-pandemic downturn, and new ventures and smaller venues are being planned by big restaurant chains. According to Lumina Intelligence\u2019s Operator Data Index, the UK restaurant market reached valuation of \u00a318.6bn in 2023, with a 4.4% growth rate in the same period.<\/p>\n
David Millward, Group Product Manager at Elta Group, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve been listening to feedback from our customers and also looking closely into the hospitality and restaurant market, and can see that there is a gap for high quality, long-lasting, energy efficient ventilation equipment in the commercial kitchen space.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019ve honed the design and features of our already well-received Qube centrifugal box fans. Our newest models are designed to meet the needs of specifiers and contractors working on designing and fitting new commercial kitchens, able to fit into ever-tighter footprints while still being able to offer the high extraction and performance expected from our fans.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Qube fans are suitable for extracting air up to 120\u00b0C in temperature. They come in various box sizes of 500, 670, 820, and 1,020mm. The fan\u2019s box panels are double skinned with an infill to reduce noise transfer, and the panels are interchangeable to support quicker, simpler installation and to access the fan components inside for maintenance. The units as a whole are lighter and balanced to also help contractors with carrying and fitting the fans.<\/p>\n
A key feature on the new Qube range is that they now have redesigned connections to connect the fans to other ventilation ancillaries, such as bolt-on filter boxes, making them more adaptable and flexible. Meanwhile, all the fan\u2019s components are now enclosed within the box, whereas previous models of the Qube had the fan motor outside of box. This further helps with space and kitchen configurations where space might be limited.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We have also introduced new gas interlock systems alongside the Qube. Gas interlock systems provide a failsafe by limiting the gas flow to appliances until the ventilation system is on, and is a mandatory requirement in commercial kitchens.<\/p>\n
Besides being ideal solutions for commercial kitchens, the Qube fans can also be used in general buildings and ventilation extraction, such as in offices, schools and industrial buildings.<\/p>\n
David said: \u201cWe know everybody is paying a much closer eye to reducing energy usage in a bid to be more sustainable and lower their operational expenses. Our EC versions of our Qube fans help with this objective, allowing operators to commission the fans so they move and extract air efficiently.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides our standard versions, being a UK manufacturer with our various plants and factories across the country, we are well positioned to provide a quick turnaround on our fans, and for those specifying ventilation systems for kitchens, we provide everything under one roof to simplify the purchasing process. We can also customise the Qube fans, ancillaries, and controls to suit bespoke needs. Simply talk to us and we can come up with a solution to fit the project.\u201d<\/p>\n
