Central kitchens prepare food at volume for several outlets, deliveries or packaged products. Cooking runs for long hours, with large kettles, ovens, fryers and tilting pans under canopies working hard all shift.
We fabricate long and multiple canopies and supply the ductwork and fans for high-capacity exhaust.
Built for Production
Production kitchens benefit from planning the canopy, duct and fan as one system. We scope the whole run with you before building.
- Long canopies spanning production lines
- Provision for steam from kettles and large pots
- Heavy-duty filters and gutters for grease-heavy cooking
- Duct and fan systems sized for continuous running
- Stainless benches, racking and cladding to match
How We Build It
KS Steel Engineering has been operating for 13 years from Epping. You send us the layout or equipment list and a few site photos; we confirm measurements, scope the canopy, ducting and fan, and quote. The canopy is fabricated in our Epping workshop, then our team delivers and installs it and connects the ductwork and fan.
Because we make the canopy ourselves, changes to size, filter layout or duct connection points are handled at the fabrication stage rather than on site.
Standards, and Where We Install
Commercial kitchen ventilation in Australia is governed by AS 1668.2, and other requirements cover the fire performance of surrounding construction. What applies depends on the building, the cooking equipment and your local authority. We fabricate to the design and approvals for your project.
Our workshop is at Unit 1/22 Salicki Ave, Epping. We install across Melbourne, including the northern suburbs of Lalor, Thomastown, Mill Park, Bundoora, South Morang, Whittlesea, Reservoir, Preston, Campbellfield, Broadmeadows and Craigieburn, plus Altona, Dandenong, Clyde and Geelong. We have also completed projects in regional Victoria (Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Mildura, Wodonga, Seymour, Moe and Drouin) and in Canberra.
