GREASE EXTRACTION
The Gaylord “GX” Series Ventilator extracts up to 90% of the grease,
dust, and lint particles from the airstream passing through it, when
operated and maintained in accordance with design specifications. If it
appears that the ventilator is not extracting properly, check the inlet slot
