Gaylord’s new XG-UV (ultraviolet) Super-High-Efficiency Ventilator removes 99 percent of all grease generated by cooking appliances, resulting in cleaner hood plenums, exhaust ducts and fans. The XG-UV’s filtration extractor is more efficient than traditional extractors and offers the lowest possible pressure drop, which reduces both energy consumption and ventilation system noise.

The UV system eliminates the need for secondary filtration and results in significant savings in duct cleanings. It can also reduce cooking odors by 50 percent.

The XG-UV’s ventilator produces superior capture at the lowest possible exhaust rates. The low exhaust rates are engineered to the cooking appliances and vary from 90 to 270 cubic feet per minute (CFM) per lineal feet. Gaylord’s unique “Custom Air” feature allows different CFMs per lineal foot within the same ventilator section, matching exhaust rates to the cooking appliances to provide the lowest exhaust rate possible, resulting in lower system component and operational costs.

Designed for Efficiency and Safety
The grease extractor features a capture-and-drain effect that prevents grease from re-entering the airstream. The additional grease collected within the extractors is drained to an oversized container that is easily removable, eliminating the need for ladders or climbing.

The UV modules on the XG-UV ventilator use six high-efficiency lamps that last up to 13,000 hours. The lamps are easily accessible for periodic cleaning or replacement. Each XG extractor is individually monitored with a proximity switch that immediately shuts off the UV lamps if an extractor is removed to ensure operators are not exposed to UV light. The access doors into the lamp modules are also monitored in the same manner, and a pressure switch monitors exhaust flow.
