AXP/MXP Ventless Q & A
How are the AXP and MXP High Speed Ovens certified ventless?
The AXP/MXP employs an integral precious metal catalyst to manage Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC's) and fine particulate matter (PM) to levels below the UL 197
threshold of 5 mg/m3
How are the AXP and MXP certified?
The AXP/MXP is certified ventless by Intertek Testing Services and received the ETL
Listed Mark.
How are the AXP and MXP tested?
The AXP/MXP is tested and certified by a third party National Certification Body (NCB).
Tests involve eight hours of cooking 160 pepperoni pizzas in succession or
approximately one pizza every three minutes.
Why is ventless important?
Vent hoods consume energy, increasing operating costs. When the AXP/MXP is used
appropriately in a ventless environment a Type I hood is not required. This can save
operators money by eliminating hood installation costs and reducing HVAC and energy
costs.
What if local inspector questions ventless installation?
ACP, Inc. will assist with approvals. In general you need to notify the appropriate local
agency having jurisdiction (AHJ) and prepare a submittal package including menu items.
ACP, Inc. can provide additional information to assist and guide you through the process.
