Wells WVU-48 Universal Ventless Hood

Wells WVU-48 Ventless Exhaust System Product Details

The Wells WVU-48 ventless exhaust system provides a self-contained solution for commercial kitchens that require high-performance ventilation without the need for external ductwork. Designed for flexibility, this unit allows operators to use a variety of electric cooking equipment such as fryers, ovens, griddles, and steamers, making it ideal for locations where traditional venting is impractical.

This system features a 48" cooking zone with a horizontal air discharge system and a four-stage filtration process. The filtration system includes a grease filter, pre-filter, HEPA filter, and charcoal filter, effectively reducing emissions to meet NFPA 96 and ANSI UL710B standards. An interlock system prevents cooking appliances from operating if filters are missing, clogged, or in the event of a fire.

For added safety, the Wells WVU-48 comes equipped with a self-contained ANSUL R-102 fire suppression system. The airflow sensors continually monitor air circulation to optimize performance and ensure grease removal. Additionally, an illuminated warning system alerts operators when filters need replacement.

This unit is constructed from durable stainless steel, ensuring longevity and ease of maintenance. It features three LED lights that provide 500 lumens each, improving visibility over the cooking area. The adjustable legs allow for flexible installation, and the system is field convertible to vertical air discharge if required.
