How do you deal with strong cooking odours?

Capture at the canopy, correctly sized fans and a sensible discharge location all help. We scope these together.

Can the canopy cover the curry range and the fryer?

Yes. We design it for the whole line, or separate canopies where the loads differ.

How do I get a quote?

Send us your kitchen layout or equipment list, the site address and a few photos. We will scope the canopy and ductwork and come back with a quote.

Does the canopy need to meet Australian Standards?

Commercial kitchen ventilation in Australia is governed by AS 1668.2, along with building and fire requirements that depend on the site. We fabricate to the design and approvals for your project; see our compliance page.

Commercial Kitchen Canopies for Indian Restaurants

Indian kitchens run hot and smoky. Curry ranges, tawas, fryers and tandoor ovens produce oil-laden vapour, spice smoke and strong cooking odours that a canopy has to capture at the source.

We fabricate canopies for the equipment in your kitchen and supply the duct and fan so odours are carried out, not into the dining room.

What Is Different About an Indian Kitchen

Tandoors are often charcoal or gas and operate at very high temperatures. We review the appliance and the fuel with your designer and the supplier before fabricating the hood and flue arrangement.

Multi-burner curry ranges with large stockpots
Tandoor ovens, which need design review for the heat and fuel type
Frequent deep-frying for pakoras, samosas and breads
Strong odours that make fan sizing and discharge location important
Grease-laden filters that need to be easy to clean

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. Stock photos on this page are illustrative and are not KS Steel projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but a tandoor has particular heat and fuel requirements. We design the canopy with your designer, the tandoor supplier and the relevant authority.
