ARTURO 30

ARTURO 30 is the 3,400 m³/h size of the ARTURO electrostatic air purifier: prefilters, electrostatic cells, activated carbon and fan in the same unit.

ARTURO air purifier

Cooking fumes and odours. Up to 3,400 m³/h.

The machine is installed between the hood and the discharge. The fan sits downstream of all stages and works with air that is already clean, so it does not get fouled by grease or dust.

The data on this page come from the ARTURO manual ETC-MAN-ARTURO-001 · Rev. 01, September 2026.

Technical manual

ARTURO 30 has an installation, use and maintenance manual with data per model, filter components, electrical connection and maintenance schedule.

Sizing

The hood air flow decides the size

ARTURO 30 reaches 3,400 m³/h. For higher air flows there is ARTURO 60, up to 6,800 m³/h. The final check must be made on the actual installation.

The problem

Smoke, grease aerosol and odorous compounds

Cooking vapours carry greasy particulate and odorous compounds. If they are not treated, they settle in the ducts and reach the discharge.

01 · DUCTS

Grease settles on the internal surfaces of the extraction system.

02 · FAN

Untreated particulate reaches the fan and fouls it.

03 · ODOUR

The remaining odorous part can be noticed outside.

How it works

Three stages and a fan

The air passes through the prefilters, the electrostatic stages and the activated carbon. The fan pushes it towards the discharge.

01 · G4 AND F9 PREFILTERS

They protect cells and carbon

The G4 stops coarse particles of 10 µm and above, the F9 stops fine PM1 particulate. They prevent early clogging.

02 · ELECTROSTATIC CELLS

They charge and collect the particles

A high-voltage power supply charges the particles and the collector plates hold them. With one stage the declared efficiency on greasy fumes and particulate is 90 %.

03 · ACTIVATED CARBON

It retains odours

Odorous molecules and volatile organic compounds stay in the pores of the carbon. The carbon is always downstream of the electrostatic stages.

Extraction

Downstream fan with inverter

The double-inlet centrifugal fan is belt-driven and works downstream of all stages. The speed is adjusted with the inverter.

The fan is a TDAR 9/9 with a 1.5 kW motor at 1,848 rpm and an available pressure of 400 Pa.

Filters, cells and cartridges are removed from the front: free space is needed in front of the unit.

Three-phase fan 400 V, 50 Hz via inverter, or single-phase 230 V with single-phase inverter. IE3 asynchronous motor, IP55. Each electrostatic stage has its own high-voltage power supply, 230 V input. The weight is approximate and refers to the activated carbon section and the fan, without cartridges.

Installation

Between the hood and the discharge, with access from the front

It is usually mounted high up, above or next to the hood, where it takes up less space and is easy to duct.

  • Load-bearing structure suited to the weight and free of vibration.
  • Metal brackets for the weight of the machine, with a 50 % margin.
  • The sides of the machine must not touch the walls.
  • Handling by 2 operators with a pallet truck or forklift.

The actual weight is on the delivery note and must be used to size brackets and lifting equipment.

Limits and performance

Data declared in the manual

Stage performance is declared at nominal air flow. These are not test results on the assembled unit: in the real installation they depend on hood, ducts and contaminant load.
