The entire GIF Active Cassette Ceiling is designed as an area-active, modular cassette construction and performs both exhaust air functions above cooking appliances as well as air supply functions outside the extract air areas. The active cassettes serve as aerosol separators on the exhaust air side according to VDI 2052 and EN 16282-6 and form a large-scale exhaust air area. Moreover, flame propagation safety can be demonstrated by several tests.

The active cassettes are only manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel and reach the highest degree of interception (up to 97%) due to very tight manufacturing tolerances. The exhaust flow velocity above the active cassette is so low (0.08 m/s) that the few remaining particles, which have not been captured in the separation chamber, drop back on to the top of the cassette surface by mass inertia.

All active cassettes can be removed from the ceiling grid simply by pushing or pulling the rows. Therefore, the GIF Active Cassette Ceiling can be removed from virtually any location almost entirely (≈ 98%) and be cleaned in any industrial dishwasher. As a result, climbing on kitchen equipment is not necessary and hygienic cleaning is guaranteed. Due to its fully reversible construction this unique modular system offers highest transparency and hygiene. If used for bringing in supply air the GIF Active Cassette allows for an area-wide and turbulent free fresh air intake, thus following the desired principle of layered airflow (not turbulent), working permanently wit high energy-efficiency.
Even at high air volumes and low inflow speeds is an indirect fresh air flow without induction impulse ensured.

Active cassettes for exhaust- and fresh air areas are identical, hence fully interchangeable in any configuration.
 

Adapted to individual kitchen conditions our ceiling solution provides fresh air via a broad jet feature at a more cost-effective price. Furthermore, it ensures a large-scale, uniform fresh air supply at lower exchange rates, forming a uniform composite ceiling in unity with the other ceiling components.

Like all air-handling components, the GIF Supply Air Flat Cassette Ceiling is also made of AISI 304 stainless steel and on request, is also available in any desired RAL coating. The components can be pushed along the grid, removed without tools and cleaned in the dishwasher.
 

Like the GIF Supply Air Flat Cassette the Sound Absorption Cassette combines two functions in one component, an unmatched combination and unique feature. This system provides fresh air supply and, at the same time, incorporates the best possible sound reduction in the same area. By using highly efficient sound absorbing material, the high noise level occurring e.g. in dishwashing zones and waiter thoroughfares, can be considerably reduced.

Like all components of the GIF Ceiling Systems, the GIF Supply Air Flat Cassette – Sound Absorption is, as standard, made of AISI 304 stainless steel and can also be delivered in any RAL coating as requested.
Together with the other components, this system forms a uniform modular ceiling. The components can be removed from the suspension grid for cleaning without the need for tools. To facilitate easy handling and removal, the components can be slid along the suspension grid to a convenient removal point, clear of kitchen appliances, which in turn enable a quick, efficient and safe cleaning procedure. The removable sound absorption cushion (fire material class A) is hygienically sealed in a plastic cover, which can be removed by a single flick of the hand, thus meeting all requirements of VDI 6022.
 

The auxiliary areas of professional kitchens such as preparation rooms, storage rooms or the associated corridors are also subject to the regulations and standards of VDI 2052. That means requirements regarding hygiene, ventilation and air-conditioning must also be taken into account.

The GIF Flat System Ceiling has been specifically developed for those areas. As there are no thermal loads the GIF Flat System Ceiling can be built with larger scale and rigid components. Of course, the GIF Flat System Ceiling can also be a wall-to-wall solution comprising all the components required for capturing exhaust air, supply of fresh air and illumiation.

In areas with loud noise pollution, the GIF Flat System Ceiling can optionally be manufactured with a sound reducing design. The durability is guaranteed for years due to the use of high quality materials such as AlMgSi 0.5 aluminium (also in a powder-coated form) or alter-natively AISI 304 stainless steel.
 

This high performance separator fits neatly into the ceiling grid and is used mainly above deep frying and frying sections. It enables concentrated air capture at the point of origin. By using our high performance separators exhaust air of up to 2400 m³/h per m² can be removed.

The high performance separators are inserted at a sloping angle into the GIF Restaurant System, so that the high amounts of aerosol (separated aerosols) are drained into the integrated collecting trough. This trough can be emptied at regular intervals via an integrated drain trap.

Exhaust and supply air fields lay flush and in one surface across the entire kitchen allowing for a uniform view, with the advantage of only needing a height of minimum 200mm.
This advantage is especially beneficial for low ceiling heights, e.g. in old buildings.

Like all air handling components, the GIF Restaurant System is also, as standard, made of AISI 304 stainless steel. The high performance separators can be easily removed from the ceiling and cleaned in any commercial dishwasher. As a result the collection trough is easy to access and quick to clean.
