Plus X Award in two categories

Rheine, October 2017. Successful participation in area30 and yet another award. In expert circles it is considered a symbol of a high-quality label: the renowned international and independent expert jury from 25 industries and with impartial industry-neutral members, all of which are prominent specialist journalists and industry personalities, have selected the best products of the year 2017. This year berbel Ablufttechnik GmbH has even received two awards: in the “best brand of the year” category in the area of extraction systems and the new berbel Downline hob extraction system (BKF 83 DL) was named “best product of the year”. “We are pleased about our successful participation in area30 this year,” says Peter Ahlmer, Managing Director of berbel Ablufttechnik. “We are very happy and satisfied with the trade fair and the great feedback we got from our customers and partners for our new berbel induction hobs and the new filterless berbel hob extraction system Downline, which is equipped with our tried and tested berbel principle. Our customers who visited the trade fair were very impressed with the performance figures, the handling, the design and our 5-year-warranty. Of course we feel very honoured to have received another award at the same time as the market launch.”

This award is in particular an acknowledgement of the exhaust technology specialist's brand strength. The company which is based in Rheine has been committed to producing extractor hoods and exhaust air systems with top quality technology and design since 2001. The company’s in-house development department and production based entirely in Germany enable berbel to create innovative products on a continuous basis. The “Plus X Award” is the world’s biggest innovation award for technology, sports and lifestyle. The berbel Downline hob extraction system was considered worthy of the award in the categories for newly developed and innovative technologies, high-quality materials, outstanding design and smart and simple operating concepts.

State-of-the-art induction technology and a powerful extraction system: berbel Downline
The berbel engineers took all the time they needed to create an unparalleled product. Trough fans are trendy at the moment. However, the berbel Downline has a big advantage: it features all the extraordinary qualities of berbel’s tried and tested hoods. Integrated in the induction hob developed by berbel, the extraction system provides for efficient air cleaning right where cooking takes place. The patented berbel principle allows for cooking and frying vapour to be sucked in effectively, so the air is cleaned and fat and oil is captured and prevented from escaping into the room. The berbel Downline not only sets new quality standards when it comes to technology, it is also characterised by a timeless modern design that can be easily integrated in any kitchen situation. For full planning freedom – berbel’s intelligent base construction allows for individual options for safe air routing in the base cabinet, even in places where installing a hob extractor was tricky in the past.  The innovative extraction system is equipped with a flexible Powermover. It can be positioned in the middle, to the left or to the right, and be perfectly adjusted to any cooking situation to capture rising vapour in a flow optimised manner. The bars of the tilted inflow grid allow for cooking vapours to be captured even from tall pots.
