LOS ANGELES, GLENDALE AND PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA— Nationwide Fire Protection Corp., a company that provides Glendale fire protection services, recently began manufacturing a type of restaurant kitchen hood.

Known as controlled pollution units- or CPUs- these hoods are suitable for restaurants located in buildings where it isn’t possible to run ducts through roofs or out the sides of buildings. They also contain grease accumulation from cooking processes, yet still control exhaust fumes and prevent them from filling the kitchen area, said Massoud Farazandeh, general manager of Nationwide Fire Protection Corp., an affiliate of American Professional Services (APS-Hoods).

NFP decided to open a Placentia fabrication facility in 2009 in an effort to better meet the growing demand for Glendale fire suppression system work, as well as requests for fire systems work throughout the state of California.

“These hoods are a great option for restaurants located in crowded downtown areas where running traditional ductwork isn’t possible, due to either city restrictions or the building’s structure,” said Farazandeh, general manager of Glendale fire sprinkler system company . “However, because these hoods contain the grease within themselves, they need a very powerful fire suppression system.”

A quality fire suppression system is important in every restaurant, but even more so in restaurants with hoods where grease is contained instead of expelled through an exhaust system. It also is important to maintain regular hood cleanings for units that contain the grease, he said.

City restrictions placed on some new restaurants prompted NFP to begin manufacturing these hood systems earlier this year. Another alternative when traditional exhaust systems aren’t possible is UV hoods, but these are more expensive than controlled pollution hoods.

“The main difference is that the CPU hoods are not as sophisticated as the UV hoods, so that makes it possible for us to manufacture and sell them at a more competitive rate,” Farazandeh said. “At the same time, it’s really practical for people facing these restrictions.”
