FALMEC'S CIRCLE.TECH PRESENTS A NEW LOOK AND INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TO THE NORTH AMERICAN VENTILATION MARKET New collection merges contemporary European design and filtration technology to create the perfect combination of function and form for the modern-day kitchen Falmec, an elite Italian appliance manufacturer with more than 40 years of experience in the ventilation category, has launched their highly anticipated Circle.Tech innovation in the North American market. With exquisite design and game-changing technology, the new line merges contemporary design and ventilation innovation to create the perfect combination of function and form for the modern- day kitchen. "After receiving valuable feedback from the design industry on our Circle.Tech prototype shown during the 2022 Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, we knew we had the opportunity to offer something truly different to the North American ventilation category," said Lorenzo Poser, director of sales and marketing at Falmec. "Designers are looking for advanced ventilation options that go far beyond the design of a traditional range hood. This is exactly what we have achieved by introducing our revolutionary Circle.Tech Collection. This is a unique take on ventilation design." Circle.Tech's certified technology filters horizontally rather than with standard vertical range hoods. The outflowing air is conveyed through a filtering unit surrounding the motor and then evenly distributed. Due to its circular shape, the filtering surface reaches the maximum extension, thus achieving exceptional suction capacity, top filtering results, and extreme quietness. Falmec's exclusive filtering system Carbon.Zeo uses materials of natural origins, such as zeolite and activated charcoal, and retains odors with the utmost effectiveness. This remarkable filtering system has a very long life – approximately three years – and can be regenerated every 18 months by placing it in the oven at 390° F /200° C for two hours. Falmec's Dama will be the first introduction of the Circle.Tech collection available in North America. Dama, which could easily be mistaken for an elegant oversized pendant light, features LED ambient lighting, a metallic grease filter that is removable and washable, and perimeter suction with a tempered glass panel. The unit is available in an exquisite Copper finish and has an optional remote control feature. I N D U S T R Y [ N E W S ]
