Manufacture of range hoods

A copper or brass range hood can be of different configuration, color and size. Kitchen copper range hoods can be both wall and island, equipped with a built-in unit (motor) or with an external unit, which is mounted on the wall of the building or in an adjacent room. When the customer needs a large enough and powerful copper range hood, only the hood itself is manufactured, and the motor is mounted outside the kitchen according to the customer’s wish.

Kitchen range hoods are made of copper, brass or bronze plates. Taking into account the customer's request, it can be manufactured from metal, for example, copper, or from a combination of several metals. Metal of 2 mm thickness is used in the manufacture of a range hood. This thickness is optimal because a thinner metal plate doesn’t hold the shape in the final product and the surface can become wavy. This can considerably spoil the appearance of the appliance, and ruin the right effect from patination.

Stages of range hoods manufacture

The process of making copper range hoods includes several stages. At the first stage, the previously marked parts of the product are exsected and cut out, then they are pre-assembled to get each components sized. If all the parts fit they are disassembled and prepared for the next stage. If a part doesn’t fit, it is resized or reajusted by the master. At the next stage, each component is subjected to preliminary grinding and degreased. Before assembling the range hood, the metal is patinated to give the product an appropriate appearance. Not until then all the parts are assembled. At the very end, after the installation, they are lightened by grinding. The final grinding of the copper range hood is lightening of the metal to reach the desired color shade chosen by the master.
