Wells VCS2000 Ventless Griddle Station

Bring full-size griddle production to spaces where traditional hoods, roof penetrations and ductwork are impossible. The Wells VCS2000 combines a powerful 22" × 18" thermostatic griddle, a fully self-contained 4-stage filtration hood and an ANSUL® R-102 fire-suppression system—everything you need to cook safely, legally and profitably almost anywhere.

True Ventless Technology

• Certified Type-1 recirculating hood (UL710B) – no ties to building ductwork.
• 4-stage filtration: stainless baffle, fire-rated fiberglass pre-filter, HEPA + carbon charcoal pack, final exhaust.
• 800 CFM vertical discharge keeps kitchens comfortable while operating at a quiet 68 dBA.
• Air-flow sensors & illuminated filter-life indicator maintain peak performance and grease removal.
• Interlock automatically disables griddle if filters are removed, clogged or a fire is detected.

Heavy-Duty Electric Griddle
