SILENT EXTRACTION TECHNOLOGY


THE FINEST IN CANOPIES AND RANGEHOODS


Europe’s major appliance brands are well known in Australia, each offers a vast range of domestic appliances for every need. But usually most of that vast range have been manufactured for them by someone else.

Most big brands start out with just one technology – a new oven for example. Then, to complete their range, they source complementary products from unknown independent specialist manufacturers. These specialists also design and manufacturer innovative and often brilliant products of their own. And without the big brand overhead, they offer truly exceptional value.

Schweigen began with Australian ingenuity. The unique concept was then married to the craftsmanship of those independent European specialists to produce the most remarkable range of silent exhaust canopies in the world.

Silence is the Result of a Little ‘Sound’ Logic


While some may make ridiculous claims,  the simple fact is that all canopies and rangehoods will make some noise. And the  greater the airflow, the greater the noise  level. So Schweigen’s Australian designer’s  had a simple challenge – eliminate as much  sound as possible, but still deliver all the  suction that modern cooking demands.


They began by selecting a motorised fan from Germany that is acknowledged as the quietest, most efficient and most powerful domestic extraction fan/motor assembly available. However, even the quietest motors and fans generate some noise. So placing them close to someone’s ear while they’re cooking just didn’t seem very logical. Their solution was quite revolutionary and yet so obvious. Instead of mounting the fan/motor ssembly inside the metal canopy, they moved it as far away from kitchen as possible.


Schweigen developed a unique housing that allows both the fan and motor to be attached to the roof at the other end of a long length of acoustic duct. This housing sits quietly on the roof silently venting all those cooking vapours into the outside air.  It’s called IsoDrive because it isolates the drive mechanisms from the kitchen and it’s patented Australian innovation. It’s also the only truly silent extraction system!

Not content with just solving the noise problem in range hoods and canopies, the Schweigen team began working with some of Europe’s best industrial designers to create a stunning range of canopies and range hoods to suit every need and style. They also ensured that by working with the best specialist manufacturers and avoiding the high overheads associated with the major brands, they could deliver the very best canopies and range hoods at remarkably affordable prices.
