Industrial Range Hoods Fabrication Process
Design and Customization: Each industrial exhaust hood is designed in-house to address the ventilation demands of industrial operations. We work closely with manufacturers, plant operators, and engineering or procurement teams to develop custom solutions based on airflow requirements, heat output, fumes, smoke, dust, and the layout of equipment or work areas.
Material Selection: We use high-quality Canadian stainless steel, selected for its strength, heat tolerance, and resistance to corrosion in demanding industrial environments. Material thickness is chosen based on operational conditions to ensure long-term performance in continuous or high-load applications.
Fabrication Process: Using advanced precision manufacturing techniques, each custom exhaust hood is fabricated in-house. Our process includes laser cutting, press brake forming, TIG welding, and seamless assembly to ensure structural integrity, consistent airflow, and efficient extraction of heat, fumes, and airborne particles.
Finishing Options: Our industrial exhaust hoods are available in multiple finishes, including brushed stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning, polished stainless steel for controlled environments, and custom patina finishes for architectural or specialty industrial applications.
Quality Assurance: Every exhaust hood undergoes thorough quality checks, including structural inspection, airflow performance verification, and extraction efficiency assessment to ensure reliable operation in industrial settings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Lukim Metal builds industrial exhaust hoods for facilities that generate heat, fumes, smoke, dust or airborne particles, such as manufacturing plants, production areas, chemical processing spaces, equipment testing areas and high-heat operations. Each hood is designed to the layout of the equipment and work area.
Lukim Metal designs and engineers fume and exhaust hoods in-house, working with business owners, plant operators, designers and contractors to meet ventilation, safety and appearance requirements. Size, shape, capture area and connections are set on the shop drawings before fabrication. Overall ventilation system design and airflow calculations remain with the facility’s mechanical engineer, and the hood is fabricated to those requirements.
Lukim Metal fabricates each industrial exhaust hood in-house from Canadian stainless steel, using laser cutting, press brake forming, TIG welding and assembly. The hood is built from drawings based on the facility’s airflow requirements and checked for structural integrity before installation.
Industrial exhaust hoods from Lukim Metal generally cost between $3,000 and $5,500 depending on size, stainless steel thickness, design complexity and finish. Larger hoods and more complex connections need more fabrication. The reference price excludes applicable taxes, delivery and installation.
Industrial exhaust hoods from Lukim Metal can be finished in brushed stainless steel, which is durable and easy to clean, polished stainless steel for controlled environments, or custom patina for architectural and specialty applications. The thickness of the stainless steel is chosen for the operating conditions.
No, Lukim Metal does not fabricate commercial kitchen exhaust hoods, because these systems are governed by food-service regulations and certification requirements that must be handled by licensed kitchen ventilation providers. Its exhaust hood work is focused on industrial applications.
To quote an exhaust hood, Lukim Metal needs the equipment or process being served, the hood size, the airflow and connection requirements, and photos or drawings of the work area. Drawings are prepared for approval before fabrication begins.
