Clean air, compliant kitchen — from hood to drain
A compliant commercial kitchen in Dubai requires more than extraction above the stove. Kitco's ventilation and hygiene portfolio covers water mist fire suppression hoods, grease traps and high-capacity commercial dishwashers.
Wall-mounted and island extraction hoods engineered to Dubai Municipality standards for commercial kitchen ventilation.
Integrated water mist fire suppression hoods — NFPA 17A compliant with Dubai Civil Defence approval.
Stainless steel grease traps and interceptors meeting Dubai Municipality drainage regulations.
High-capacity pass-through rack dishwashers for hotels, hospital kitchens and large restaurant operations.
Space-saving undercounter dishwashers for smaller restaurants, cafés and bar operations.
Dedicated glass washing machines for bars, hotels and venues handling delicate glassware at volume.
Effective ventilation, fire suppression and hygiene systems are statutory requirements for every commercial kitchen operating under Dubai Municipality licensing — not optional design features. Kitco Catering Equipment Trading LLC supplies the complete range of kitchen ventilation and hygiene equipment for commercial kitchens in Dubai and the UAE: extraction hoods to Dubai Municipality specification, NFPA 17A-compliant water mist fire suppression hoods for Civil Defence approval, Dubai Municipality DM-certified grease traps and interceptors, and commercial dishwashers and glass washers for high-volume warewashing. Every system is designed to support your DM health permit application, and our team can provide technical drawings and specifications for submission to Dubai Municipality and Dubai Civil Defence.
Kitchen extraction hoods are the primary defence against grease accumulation, smoke, heat and odours in commercial kitchen environments — and a specific requirement of Dubai Municipality's commercial kitchen ventilation standards. Kitco's stainless steel kitchen hoods are designed, fabricated and installed to meet DM ventilation criteria, available in wall-mounted and island configurations from 600 mm to 3600 mm in length. Grade 304 stainless steel body construction resists grease and corrosion across years of continuous commercial use, while removable baffle filters capture airborne grease and are dishwasher-safe for rapid cleaning in your commercial warewashing machine. For kitchens where the supply-and-extract air balance requires managed make-up air delivery, Kitco can integrate make-up air plenum sections into the hood body, eliminating the negative pressure conditions that cause draft problems and reduce extraction efficiency.
Above deep-fat fryers, chargrills, solid fuel ovens and commercial wok ranges, a standard extraction hood is insufficient — Dubai Civil Defence regulations require integrated fire suppression systems capable of extinguishing cooking oil fires within seconds of detection. Kitco's water mist hood range integrates NFPA 17A wet chemical suppression systems directly into the extraction hood body, providing simultaneous grease extraction and fire suppression from a single installed unit. Each system is supplied with Dubai Civil Defence pre-approval documentation for inclusion in DM plan submissions, eliminating the administrative complexity of sourcing suppression certification separately. Automatic activation on heat or flame detection triggers the water mist array and simultaneously shuts down the fuel supply to cooking appliances below — the fastest possible response to a kitchen fire scenario. Manual pull-station overrides and annual service and recharge contracts are available as part of a complete fire safety package.
Dubai Municipality's drainage regulations require all commercial food premises to install grease traps or automatic grease interceptors on all kitchen waste drainage connections, preventing fats, oils and grease from entering the municipal wastewater system. Kitco supplies stainless steel grease traps from 25 litres to manual 500-litre interceptors, as well as fully automatic grease interceptors up to 1500 litres capacity for high-output commercial kitchens. All units are manufactured in Grade 304 stainless steel, which resists the acidic and thermal conditions of commercial kitchen drainage far more reliably than polymer units. Access covers with anti-odour seals prevent unpleasant odours from entering the kitchen environment, and remote alarm options on automatic interceptors notify kitchen management when collection levels require attention. Kitco can advise on the grease trap capacity calculation required for your specific kitchen's daily cooking output in line with Dubai Municipality guidance.
Commercial dishwashing is one of the highest-labour processes in any restaurant or hotel kitchen — and the right machine specification directly reduces labour costs, water consumption and chemical use. Kitco supplies commercial pass-through rack dishwashers producing 120 to 200 racks per hour for hotel kitchens, hospital catering and large restaurant operations; undercounter dishwashers for cafés, bars and smaller restaurants where space is at a premium; and dedicated glass washers for hotels, bars and event venues. All dishwashers feature built-in water softeners that protect wash arms and heating elements from the hard water conditions prevalent in UAE municipal water supply, which without treatment cause rapid scaling and equipment deterioration. Automatic detergent and rinse-aid dosing systems ensure consistent wash results while controlling chemical consumption and cost.
