SimcoHood SH Series Exhaust Canopy 2300x1000 mm SH2300

The Simcohood SH2300 is a 2300 × 1000 mm commercial exhaust canopy built for busy professional kitchens — restaurants, clubs, pubs, and hotel back-of-house lines where cooking volume demands serious hood coverage. A fully welded 304 stainless steel body with a tapered plenum moves heat, grease, and steam away from the line, while the included honeycomb filters trap grease at the source so your duct stays cleaner between services.

Why operators choose the SH2300

• Fully welded stainless steel body — no riveted joins to trap grease, built for daily wash-down and long service life
• Tapered plenum, raised front edge — moves grease vapour upward and away from the cook line, less residue on the hood face
• Honeycomb filters included — standard 381 × 457 × 50 mm grease filters, no dividers, fully removable for dishwasher cleaning
• Vapour-proof LED lights behind toughened glass — illuminates the cook line without trapping moisture in the fittings
• AS 1668 compliant — built to the Australian standard for commercial kitchen mechanical ventilation

Specifications

Venue suitability

The 2300 mm footprint suits high-volume sites — full restaurant cook lines, pub bistros, club kitchens, and hotel line-outs where a single hood covers four to six pieces of cooking equipment. For lighter-duty sites (café, small takeaway), a narrower SH-Series canopy will be more appropriate; contact our team for the right size.

Installation notes

The SH2300 is a canopy body only — the in-line fan/motor and ductwork are specified separately to match your venue's airflow requirements. Installation is mechanical and must be done by a qualified kitchen ventilation installer. A compliant make-up air path (per AS 1668) is required so the hood doesn't depressurise the kitchen. Confirm ceiling height, cooking-surface clearance (typically ≥ 600 mm above solid-fuel, ≥ 450 mm above gas/electric, per local code), and fire-rating requirements for the discharge duct with your installer before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does the SH2300 include the exhaust fan and ductwork? A: No — the SH2300 is a canopy body with honeycomb filters, grease drain tray, and LED lighting included. The in-line exhaust fan, ductwork, and make-up air system are specified separately to match your kitchen's airflow calculations and local regulations. We can recommend suitable in-line fans and refer you to qualified commercial kitchen ventilation installers.

Q: What cooking equipment can fit under a 2300 × 1000 mm canopy? A: A 2300 mm wide canopy typically covers four to six pieces of commercial cooking equipment side-by-side — for example, a 4-burner range, a chargrill, a deep fryer, and a salamander — depending on each piece's footprint and the required side overhang (usually 150 mm each side beyond the cook surface).

Q: Is the SH2300 compliant with Australian kitchen ventilation standards? A: The canopy body is built to AS 1668, the Australian standard covering commercial kitchen mechanical ventilation. Final system compliance depends on the complete installation — fan capacity, duct sizing, make-up air, and fire-rated duct where required — and must be certified by the installing ventilation contractor.

Q: What filters does it use and are replacements easy to source? A: The SH2300 uses standard honeycomb grease filters sized 381 × 457 × 50 mm, included with the hood. These are an industry-standard size, readily available as replacements, and dishwasher-safe for daily cleaning.

Q: How much clearance do I need above the cook line? A: Australian building and health codes typically require 450 mm minimum above gas or electric cooking surfaces and 600 mm above solid-fuel equipment, though the actual figure depends on your local council and certifier. Your installer will confirm the exact clearance for your site before commissioning.

Q: What's the warranty on the SH2300? A: 24 months parts and labour warranty from delivery. Replacement filters, lights, and the grease drain tray are all serviceable items covered under warranty for manufacturing defects.
