Intelli-Hood UK is the exclusive partner of Melink’s Intelli-Hood demand-controlled kitchen ventilation system in the United Kingdom.
We work with facilities managers, consultants, and end-users across hospitality, healthcare, education, and manufacturing to cut energy use and improve kitchen environments.
Our team combines UK-based engineering and project delivery with the proven reliability of Melink’s global technology. Every system is designed, installed, and supported by our specialists to deliver measurable results in energy savings, comfort, and sustainability.
What We Do
Supply and install Intelli-Hood demand-controlled ventilation (DCKV) systems in new and existing commercial kitchens
Provide full design, commissioning, and aftercare support across the UK
Integrate DCKV with existing building management systems (BMS) and extraction equipment
Help organisations achieve carbon reduction targets and compliance with sustainability standards
Why Intelli-Hood
Since its launch, Intelli-Hood has installed over 100,000 systems worldwide. It’s a trusted solution in hotels, restaurants, universities, and production sites that need efficient, reliable ventilation without compromising performance.
By using sensors to monitor cooking activity, the system automatically adjusts fan speeds in real time. This smart control reduces energy consumption by up to 70%, lowers noise, and extends equipment life, delivering a fast return on investment.
