FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Which technologies are equally suitable for large and small professional kitchens?

oxytec offers scalable solutions:

  • UV ozone systems in hoods or ducts
  • Plasma systems for strong odors or high continuous loads
  • Modular systems for central air technology (pre-separators, UV, ozone, heat recovery)
  • Ventilation ceilings with integrated cleaning for large areas

All systems can be adapted structurally and functionally – for new buildings as well as for renovations.

What advantages do integrated UV ozone or plasma systems offer over activated carbon or TNV?
oxytec systems Activated carbon / TNV
No consumables Regular filter or fuel requirements
Compact design Large system volume, high space requirements
Quiet, flameless, safe TNV with combustion noise and heat
Flexibly expandable Difficult to scale or retrofit

How is odor neutralization ensured?

Depending on the technology, odors are eliminated via:

  • Ozone reaction (oxidation) of VOCs
  • UV light to break down organic molecules
  • Plasma-based ion exchange

On request, we offer proof of effectiveness, VOC measurements, and olfactometric reports for submission to authorities.

Are the systems hygienic and HACCP-compliant?

Yes. All components:

  • are made of stainless steel or washable materials,
  • are chemical and steam resistant,
  • can be cleaned either integrated or separately,
  • comply with HACCP and DIN standards for kitchen hygiene.

How does maintenance work?

UV lamps: Replacement depending on operating time (usually once a year)

Plasma units: depending on electrodes, can be cleaned

Filters (if used): cleaning or replacement after use

On request, we offer maintenance contracts, monitoring, or automated control (e.g., pressure sensors, air flow monitoring)

Can Oxytec systems be retrofitted?

Yes – particularly suitable for:

  • Renovations without roof access
  • Renovations with limited air volume
  • Kitchens that need to become more energy efficient

The systems are modular and tailored precisely to your structural conditions.

How much space is required?
System Required space
Hood installation From approx. 25–30 cm hood height
Ducted unit From approx. 50–60 cm in the exhaust air duct
Central module technology Technical center or ceiling height installation
Ventilation ceiling solution From approx. 35–40 cm ceiling height (free space)

Are ventilation ceilings with exhaust air purification eligible for approval?

Yes—provided that the air purification system has been certified to meet odor and grease separation requirements in accordance with VDI 2052 / VDI 3894.
Oxytec provides:

  • Planning documents
  • CAD integration
  • Performance certificates
  • Compliant design

– also for coordination with building authorities or fire protection.

Are there any subsidy programs for modern exhaust air purification in commercial kitchens?

Yes. Eligible measures include:

  • Energy-efficient ventilation and exhaust air systems (BAFA, BEG)
  • Investments in hygienic air technology
  • Kitchen renovation and energy-efficient modernization
  • Commercial subsidies for renovation/new construction

We can help with researching subsidies and providing evidence.
