Schweigen's Silent Rangehood
After its stunning good looks, the most impressive features of your new Schweigen canopy or rangehood are what you won't see or hear.
Out of sight, out of mind. That’s the number one problem with conventional rangehoods and canopies. But what you can’t see can
definitely hurt you, and there’s a constant reminder of this reality every time you turn them on.
Noise.
But as irritating as that noise may be, it’s really only an early warning signal of something much worse taking place out of sight. Something that
can have serious consequences for you and your loved ones.
Here’s a clue: pulling usually works better than pushing. It’s easier to control, it takes less energy and it’s safer. These are simple, scientific facts.
For example, which removes dirt and dust better, faster and easier… a broom? Or vacuum cleaner?
Problems arise when you have to pull and push at the same time. Stress and strain occur. You can’t do both with equal success. Something eventually
has to give.
Traditional rangehoods are glaring examples of this reality.
First, they have to extract (pull!) smoke, offensive cooking odours and grease-laden air from your kitchen. Then they have to push that heavy, murky
air upward, against the force of gravity, through narrow, winding ducting to the outside air.
The longer that distance is, the harder the fan motor has to work to make sure its load is expelled quickly and efficiently, so that the soiled air
doesn’t lose speed or strength and deposit that load along the way — all over the inside of your ventilation duct, out of sight, building up uneven,
steadily-mounting layers of grease and food particles that can…
- Create a hidden fire risk and health hazard that attracts vermin, insects and crawling pests
- Restrict and disrupt the smooth, free flow of air, causing turbulence that adds to the noise level and forces the air to lose even more of
its load
- place mounting stress and strain on the motor and other components, causing vibration, wear and tear — and even more noise!
It’s a vicious cycle, and it starts close to your head, right next to your ears!
There’s a better, safer, smarter way to solve this lurking problem… silently
Instead of forcing the motor to pull soiled air from your kitchen, then push it upward to the outside of your home, the unique Schweigen IsoDrive motor and fan unit sits at the very top of your ventilation system, on your roof, where it can focus its entire power on extracting impure air from your kitchen, without loss of power, until it reaches the outside air.
It has to do one thing only, and it does it brilliantly (and silently) using Schweigen’s patented, Germanmade, motorised fan unit — acknowledged as the
most powerful, reliable and quietest unit available for domestic use.
It relies on reassuring certainty… not just hope.
This ingeniously simple, scientific (and just plain sensible) approach causes less wear and tear on your motor, less vibration in your canopy or rangehood, fewer dangerous deposits inside your ducting, and measurably more effective removal of hazardous, unhygienic materials from your home.
And all in confident silence, not the usual noisy, risky, unwitting ignorance.
