Exodraft is a leading name in mechanical chimney draft and ventilation systems, known for delivering high-performance solutions for solid fuel, gas, and oil appliances. In commercial environments where natural draft is insufficient or unreliable—such as restaurants, food halls, and boiler houses—Exodraft chimney fans provide consistent airflow control and safety. Their systems are engineered to support both open and closed appliance installations where precise draft management is essential.
One of the most popular solutions in the Exodraft range is the RSV chimney fan, designed for solid fuel ovens, stoves, and grills. This fan mounts externally on the flue terminal and creates a controlled vacuum throughout the flue system, ensuring smoke and gases are safely extracted even under challenging conditions. The RSV model can operate continuously at temperatures up to 250°C and is ideal for wood-fired pizza ovens, charcoal grills, or any high-output appliance in a commercial setting.
Exodraft’s product range also includes intelligent control systems, pressure sensors, and variable speed controllers that allow operators to fine-tune flue performance based on appliance demand and real-time draft conditions. This level of control is especially valuable in kitchens or plant rooms where multiple appliances may share a flue or operate under varying load. Exodraft’s modular systems are scalable, reliable, and designed to meet strict compliance and air quality standards
The RSV series from Exodraft includes several fan models designed specifically for high-temperature, solid fuel applications. Units such as the RSV160, RSV200, and RSV250 are commonly used in commercial kitchen installations, with flue outlet sizes ranging from 160 mm to 250 mm. These fans are constructed from corrosion-resistant cast aluminium and fitted with stainless steel axial impellers. Each unit features a vertical discharge to prevent downdraft, with the ability to operate continuously at flue gas temperatures up to 250°C and momentary spikes up to 500°C. The RSV range is CE-marked and tested according to EN 60335 and EN 61000 standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility.
Control is a critical part of the Exodraft system. The EFC16 speed controller provides stepless manual control of the fan’s motor, giving the operator direct regulation over draft levels. For installations that require more advanced functionality, the EFC18 includes integrated safety monitoring and system feedback—ideal for gas-fired appliances or shared flue systems. For fully automated operation, Exodraft offers the Xzense smart controller, which can be paired with a pressure transducer (XTP) to automatically adjust fan speed based on real-time flue pressure. This ensures optimal draft conditions while reducing energy use and system wear.
Together, the RSV fan units and Exodraft control systems form a complete draft solution for commercial kitchens, solid fuel cooking appliances, and boiler rooms. Whether maintaining consistent flue pressure across a multi-storey chimney or supporting ovens that demand stable combustion airflow, the Exodraft system is designed to deliver high reliability, precise control, and full regulatory compliance. Chimflue can specify, supply, and support the full Exodraft product range—including RSV fan units, controllers, and safety accessories—backed by expert consultation and nationwide service coverage.
