Why this extraction fan earns its place
The FAN 12/9/900 is purpose-built for kitchens where maximum intake capacity matters but flexible outlet routing is equally important. The 12/9 format — large 12-inch inlet paired with a 9-inch outlet — is engineered to capture high volumes of kitchen air and dispatch it efficiently through standard ducting. At 313 × 550 × 513 mm and weighing 26 kg, it's a solid, compact unit that can be mounted horizontally in ceiling voids or vertically on a wall without dominating the space.
This fan excels where you're extracting from a large hood or multiple zones and want to concentrate that air into a single ductwork run with reasonable dimensions. The asymmetric design reduces the outlet size, making the ducting run simpler and reducing installation costs compared to maintaining a 12-inch duct the whole way. It's the unit for restaurants, hotels, and catering kitchens running serious cooking loads with heat and steam that won't quit.
Installation is straightforward for a competent engineer. The 26 kg weight sits comfortably on standard ceiling joists with proper support, and the centrifugal design handles the worst kitchen conditions — grease, humidity, continuous duty — without struggle. Mounting orientation matters: follow the installation guide to ensure the motor is positioned for proper heat dissipation and the inlet is correctly aligned with your hood ducting.
