✅ New Project Completion: Low-Flow Kitchen Hood Extraction System for Feast Merchants 🍽️
We’re proud to share a recent project here at GME Tradetech Engineering Ltd—the successful completion of a custom-Engineered low-flow kitchen hood extraction system for the exceptional team at Feast Merchants in Blenheim.
This system includes:
✔️ Two hoods installed side by side — one dedicated to solid fuel cooking, and the other for standard cooking processes
✔️ Hoods supplied by Hoodmaster NZ, these hoods are low-flow, low-noise models, ideal for commercial kitchen applications requiring reduced noise in close proximity to the restaurant dining area
✔️ Integrated supply air delivered at the front of the hoods, designed to support airflow performance in line with AS1668 standards while also providing comfort cooling for chefs working beneath the system
✔️ Fully customised ductwork, fabricated in-house from sheet material—using stainless steel internally and galvanised sheet externally to ensure durability, hygiene, and weather resistance
All design work, including drawings, ducting layouts, and flow rate calculations, was completed in-house by our Engineering team at GME Tradetech, and peer reviewed by an independent mechanical Engineering firm, ensuring compliance with AS1668 standards and robust system performance.
This system is designed for efficiency, performance, and compliance—while keeping energy use in check. It’s a smart, locally built solution tailored to the needs of a modern commercial kitchen environment.
We're proud to deliver solutions that combine Engineering precision, code compliance, and craftsmanship—right here in Blenheim.
👏 A huge thank you to Feast Merchants for the opportunity, and to Hoodmaster NZ for supplying top-tier equipment and support.
🙌 And of course, none of this would be possible without the outstanding skill and dedication of our in-house fabrication and installation team—the people who bring these systems to life with attention to detail and quality workmanship.
