Magic Lung® Blower Technology: A Smarter Way to Ventilate

As the original authority in kitchen ventilation, Vent-A-Hood revolutionized the category with patented Magic Lung® technology. Magic Lung® outperforms conventional range hood systems by taking a fundamentally different approach to ventilation.

First, a large open canopy captures cooking vapors before they escape into the kitchen. Grease is then separated from the airflow using centrifugal force instead of mesh or baffle filters. With no restrictive filters, Magic Lung® moves large volumes of air more efficiently—and more quietly.

The result is more effective ventilation, remarkably quiet performance and a cleaner, more comfortable kitchen.

Superior Grease Extraction

Patented centrifugal filtration separates 99% of grease from cooking vapors before it reaches the blower or ductwork, helping keep the entire ventilation system cleaner.

Ultra-Quiet Operation

Without the excessive noise associated with conventional filter-based systems, Magic Lung® lets conversations, entertaining and everyday life flow naturally.

Scalable Ventilation

Each Magic Lung® blower delivers 300 CFM of airflow—equivalent to 450 CFM in conventional filter-based hoods. Up to eight blowers can be combined within a single hood for a total of 2,400 CFM (3,600 Equivalent CFM), making it easy to match ventilation power to virtually any kitchen or cooking style.

Enhanced Fire Safety

Magic Lung® separates grease from the airflow before it enters the ductwork instead of trapping it in mesh or baffle filters. This prevents grease buildup in the ventilation system and the potential for flame spread.

Designed for Complete Cleaning

A pull-out grease tray, removable blower wheels and a snap-apart blower housing provide convenient access to dishwasher-safe components for a more thorough clean than conventional filter-based designs.

Intelligent Heat Detection

SensaSource® automatically increases blower speed when elevated cooking temperatures are detected, improving grease capture while adding an extra layer of fire protection.
