An electrostatic precipitator for a Mexican commercial kitchen, the precipitador electrostático of local specifications, is an in-duct unit, or a hood with the cells built in, that charges grease and smoke particles and collects them on washable plates. Polygee supplies the electrostatic precipitator Mexico kitchen projects fit from its factory in Zhangjiagang, China, configured for the 60 Hz supply on the order, with a minimum order of one unit and a 7–15 day lead time.
This page helps you decide whether a factory-direct electrostatic precipitator suits your Mexican project, which route to price, how the 60 Hz configuration and the site voltage are settled, what the importer and the electrical inspection need, and when Mexico City’s environmental filing applies to the kitchen. It does not size a unit, quote a price, classify goods for customs or certify an installation. For model tables, see the LK in-duct range and the HME ESP hood; for what sets the number, see what sets an electrostatic precipitator price.
| Question | Our answer |
|---|---|
| Supplied in Mexico before? | Mexico is on our shipped list, on the Americas line; no Mexican installation is published, and this page does not name one |
| Minimum order and lead time | One unit; 7–15 days as standard, with freight to your port quoted with the Incoterm |
| Two routes | An in-duct LK or LK-E unit, the precipitador electrostático behind any hood, from 2,000 m³/h per unit; or an HME ESP hood, a campana with the cells and the fan inside, in twelve models |
| Site supply | 60 Hz, configured on the order; on a 220Y/127 V system the 220 V configuration takes its supply between phases; a 440 V or 480 V circuit needs a step-down by your electrical contractor |
| Electrical inspection | A restaurant above 10 kW of installed load counts as a place of public assembly; an approved unit certifies the installation against NOM-001-SEDE-2012 before the supply is connected |
| Import | The importer is registered in the Padrón de Importadores and clears through its own legal representative or an agente aduanal; in the NOM annex we read, the hood and air-purifier lines are domestic only, and the broker confirms the fraction |
| Mexico City | Sources that emit odors, gases or particles hold the MAU, which includes using and maintaining emission-control equipment; restaurants are exempt from filing only if they meet the list’s conditions, which include up to ten employees and no charcoal or firewood |
| Incoterm and port | CIF to Manzanillo, Veracruz, Altamira or the port your forwarder clears at; FOB or EXW when they book the sea leg |
| Warranty | One year on the complete unit; UV lamps and carbon media, where fitted, are consumables |

Shipped to Mexico, and the limits of that record
Mexico is on the list of countries we have shipped Polygee units to. Our supplier profile carries it on the Americas line with the United States, Canada, Colombia and Brazil. No Mexican installation is on the published project record, and this page does not name one. The shipped list records a narrow thing: units have been shipped from the factory to Mexico before. It does not tell you how a unit will behave on your cooking line, and it does not replace the third-party test report on the model you are offered.
| Record | What it shows | What it does not show |
|---|---|---|
| Mexico on the shipped list | Factory-direct units have been shipped to Mexico before | Which port, which route, which importer, or how those units perform |
| Published project record | No Mexican site is named | — |
| Third-party test report for the series offered | The result under the stated test condition | The result at your discharge or on a 60 Hz build, which follows your configuration, airflow, hood capture and cleaning |
This table answers what the record is. It does not answer how your installation will perform; the configuration, the report and the site settle that, in that order.
Two product routes, and the Spanish names that pick them
Mexican specifications and supplier catalogs use Spanish names that map onto our two routes once they are sorted. A campana, or campana extractora industrial, is the hood over the cooking line; our HME range is a campana with the electrostatic cells and the fan built in. A precipitador electrostático or filtro electrostático is the stage that collects grease and smoke particles. Our LK and LK-E units are that stage, installed in the extract duct behind a hood, including a campana built by a Mexican fabricator. A lavador de gases is a wet scrubber, a water-wash technology we do not make. Where an engineer’s drawing says ecology unit, it means the in-duct route with UV-C and activated carbon stages behind the electrostatic stage. That is the odor configuration, set out in eight sizes on the kitchen ecology unit page.
| Route | What it is | Better fit when | Main limitation | What it means for your quote |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In-duct LK or LK-E unit (precipitador electrostático) | An electrostatic precipitator mounted in the extract duct downstream of any hood; single units from 2,000 m³/h, scaled in parallel; the LK-E series in three tiers at or above 90, 95 and 98 percent design efficiency, 33 models | The campana is fabricated locally; a plaza food court or a hotel sends several hoods into one extract; an odor stage may follow in the same run | Needs straight duct length and access on one side for washing the cells | Price the unit and, separately, the duct adapters your contractor supplies; say whether UV-C or carbon stages are in scope |
| HME ESP hood (campana with the stage built in) | A canopy with the electrostatic cells and the fan built in; twelve models; brochure input 380 V, 50 Hz, configured for the Mexican supply on the order | A single cooking line; a restaurant build-out with no room above the ceiling for an in-duct unit; the hood and the filtration are wanted from one maker | One hood, one line; larger extract rates mean more hoods rather than a bigger unit | Price by hood length and cooking line; the fan is inside the hood, so the voltage it is built for is part of the offer |
The table picks the route, not the model. The model follows the extract rate and the cooking load, and the offer names it.
What a factory-direct order covers in Mexico, and what stays with your contractor
We supply the equipment, the documents and remote support from the factory. The rest of the job happens in Mexico and belongs to Mexican parties. The contractor installs and ducts the unit, wires it to the panel and has the installation inspected where the premises call for it. The importer of record clears the goods, through its own legal representative or an agente aduanal, and answers any compliance check on the fraction it declares. The consultant and the authorities decide what the installation must show. Put an owner against every line below before you compare offers; whatever one offer leaves out comes back later on another invoice.
| Item | Factory-direct from Polygee | Your Mexican contractor, importer or broker | What it means for your quote |
|---|---|---|---|
| In-duct unit or ESP hood, with the high-voltage power supply and control gear | Supplied, configured for 60 Hz and the stated site voltage | — | The part every offer should price the same way, so state the route, the airflow and the supply |
| UV-C or activated carbon stage, where an odor condition calls for it | Available as modules in the same run | — | Say whether an odor stage is in scope; two offers with different stage lists are not comparable |
| Extract fan | Inside an HME hood; available with an in-duct unit, selected on the total static pressure of the run and configured for 60 Hz | Usually in the mechanical package for in-duct installations | Say which you want, or the offer that includes a fan will read as the more expensive one |
| Ductwork, transition pieces, attenuators and any fire protection on the duct; a locally fabricated campana | Not supplied | Yes | Adapter work left unstated turns into a variation after the order |
| Supports, hangers and structural work | Not supplied | Yes | Ask for module and hood weights with the offer |
| Installation labor, the electrical connection and commissioning attendance | Not included; paid on-site service is available | Yes | Price installation locally against our drawings and the electrical data |
| Certification of the electrical installation by an approved inspection unit, where the premises count as a place of public assembly | The electrical data on the specification sheet | The owner, through its electrical contractor | Book it into the program; without it the supplier will not connect the power |
| Registration as an importer, the pedimento, any NOM requirement on the fraction, duties and taxes | Commercial invoice, packing list, the technical data the broker asks for and the certificate references on them | The importer of record, itself or through its agente aduanal | A consignment with no registered importer named cannot be declared |
| The MAU in Mexico City, where the restaurant is not on the exemption list | The equipment data the filing describes | The restaurant operator | The filing commits the operator to maintain the equipment, so budget the cleaning with the unit |
| Submissions to the authority or the design consultant | Documents prepared against the reviewer’s list | The submission itself | A late request delays approval, not delivery |
| Spare parts and consumables | Common spares held in stock | Decide the holding you want | Quote them with the unit, so the first order is budgeted |
This table answers who supplies what. It does not answer what any of it costs; that follows the route, the airflow and the configuration.
Commercial terms, stated up front
Only the terms a Mexican destination changes are set out below. Payment, Incoterms, spares, remote support hours, OEM branding, the NDA and the pre-shipment inspection are common to every order. They are published on our electrostatic precipitator supplier profile; hold any offer against them, ours included.
| Term | What applies to a Mexican order | What it means for your project |
|---|---|---|
| Site supply | Configured for 60 Hz and for the voltage and phase count measured at the panel | State the measurement and the frequency; the 60 Hz build is set on the order |
| Incoterm and port | CIF to Manzanillo, Veracruz, Altamira or the port your forwarder clears at; FOB or EXW when they book the sea leg | Name the port and the Incoterm; the proforma invoice is priced on that basis |
| Clearance party | The importer of record, registered in the Padrón de Importadores, clears the goods through its legal representative or its agente aduanal and answers any NOM requirement on the fraction it declares | Both are Mexican parties; agree who they are before the proforma invoice |
| Approval documents | CE and RoHS certificates for the models they name, the ISO certificates, the third-party test reports for the series offered, each naming the model tested, general arrangement drawings and specification sheets | Send your broker’s and your reviewer’s lists early; a NOM certificate, where one is required, is obtained in Mexico by the importer |
| Minimum order and lead time | One unit; 7–15 days as standard | A single trial unit is a normal first order; freight time is added on top |
| Warranty | One year on the complete unit; UV lamps and activated carbon media, where fitted, are consumables and are not covered | Budget consumables separately when an odor stage is in scope |
| Everything else | Payment, Incoterms, spares, remote support hours, OEM branding, NDA and factory inspection | Read them on the supplier profile; they do not change for Mexico |
Price is the one term missing. The route, the airflow and the configuration set it, as explained in what sets an electrostatic precipitator price.
Site power: 60 Hz, 220Y/127 V, and the inspection before connection
Mexico runs at 60 Hz. The grid code in force is the Código de Red, issued as resolution RES/550/2021 and kept in effect by the transitional articles of the 2025 Ley del Sector Eléctrico. It holds the national system between 59.8 and 60.2 Hz in normal operation. That is not the frequency of our brochure input, 220 V, 50 Hz for in-duct units and 380 V, 50 Hz for HME hoods. A Mexican order is therefore configured for 60 Hz: the high-voltage power supply, and any fan we supply, are built for it. The voltages come from Article 110-4 of NOM-001-SEDE-2012, the electrical installation standard, which lists 120, 127, 120/240, 208Y/120, 220Y/127, 240, 480Y/277, 480, 600Y/347 and 600 V. On a 220Y/127 V system our 220 V configuration takes its supply between phases; a 127 V circuit is not one we configure for. The same article says the rated voltage of equipment must not be lower than the actual voltage of the circuit it is connected to. That is why the enquiry asks for the voltage measured at the panel. Where the building distributes at 480Y/277 V or 440 V, the configurations we publish, 220 V and 380 V, mean a step-down from your electrical contractor, so say so at enquiry stage.
Mexico also puts a check between installation and power. SENER’s 2017 agreement on places of public assembly, which the 2025 regulation’s transitional rules keep applying until a new list is issued, counts restaurants, cafeterias and canteens with more than 10 kW of installed load among them. Bars count at any load, and any business counts above 20 kW. For those premises the supplier may not sign a supply contract until a unit approved by SENER has certified the electrical installation against NOM-001-SEDE-2012. The 2025 electricity law and its regulation keep that certification, now by an approved inspection unit. It is your electrical contractor’s step, and our part in it is the electrical data on the specification sheet of the offered configuration.
| Site fact | Where to read it | What to state in the enquiry |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency | The grid code’s 60 Hz, held between 59.8 and 60.2 Hz | “60 Hz”; the power supply and any fan are configured for it on the order |
| Voltage and phase | The switchboard schedule and a measurement at the panel feeding the unit | 220 V between phases on a 220Y/127 V system, or the system the building has, as measured |
| Installed load and inspection | The electrical design; a restaurant with more than 10 kW of installed load counts as a place of public assembly | Who the approved inspection unit is, if one is already appointed |
This table answers what to state about the supply. It does not answer whether the feeder is adequate or whether the installation will pass inspection; both belong to your electrical contractor, working from the electrical data on the specification sheet.
Import: the Padrón de Importadores, the pedimento and the NOM question
The border steps belong to the Mexican side. Before it imports anything, the importer must be registered in the Padrón de Importadores kept by SAT. SAT’s conditions include an active RFC tax registration, a valid e.firma, tax obligations up to date, and a customs broker, customs attorney or legal representative to carry out the operations. Article 40 of the Ley Aduanera lets the importer clear goods itself, a company acting through a legal representative accredited with SAT, or use an agente aduanal or agencia aduanal. Either way the declaration, the pedimento, is transmitted electronically. The proforma invoice is issued to that importer.
The NOM question is answered by the tariff fraction. Annex 2.4.1 of the Secretaría de Economía’s foreign-trade rules, the Anexo de NOMs, lists the fractions whose goods must show NOM compliance at the point of entry. For those fractions the importer attaches the NOM certificate to the pedimento. We read the 2022 versions of the annex and the later amendments we could open, and in them the hood and air-purifier lines are domestic only. One is 8414.60.01, household hoods. The other is 8421.39.99 with NICO 02, air purifiers recognizable as designed exclusively for household extraction hoods. Both sit under NOM-003-SCFI-2014, and both again under the labeling rule of NOM-024-SCFI-2013. As we read it, a commercial kitchen electrostatic precipitator is not described by either line. If the broker declares a different fraction, that fraction is checked against the annex on its own terms. That reading is ours, not a ruling, and several amendments could not be opened, so the importer’s broker confirms the fraction against the current annex before the proforma invoice.
One caution belongs next to that reading. NOM-003-SCFI-2014 itself covers electrical products up to 1,000 V, those for industrial use included, and the Secretaría de Economía notes that the annex can neither widen nor narrow a NOM’s scope. The border list settles what customs asks for. A client specification that asks for NOM-003 conformity raises a separate question, and it belongs in the enquiry. Duties and taxes follow the fraction and the origin of the goods, and the importer confirms them at quotation. Ask your broker which packing documents they need as well, and put them in the enquiry.
| Step | Who does it | What we supply |
|---|---|---|
| Name the importer of record, confirm its registration in the Padrón de Importadores, and say whether it clears through an agente aduanal or its own legal representative | You, or your contractor | The proforma invoice, issued to the importer |
| Classify the goods and check the fraction against Annex 2.4.1 | The importer, or its broker | The tariff description and the technical data of the offered configuration |
| Where the fraction carries a NOM, or the client’s specification asks for one, obtain the certificate | The importer, with a Mexican certification body | The technical data the certification body asks for; the NOM certificate itself is obtained in Mexico |
| Transmit the pedimento | The importer, or its broker | Commercial invoice, packing list and the certificate references on them |
| Certify the electrical installation before connection, where the premises count as a place of public assembly | The owner, through its electrical contractor and an approved inspection unit | The electrical data on the specification sheet |
Mexico City: the MAU and the charcoal question
In Mexico City the emission rules reach the restaurant itself. Article 200 of the Ley Ambiental de la Ciudad de México requires a fixed source that emits or may emit odors, gases or particles to hold the Manifestación Ambiental Única, the MAU. The MAU certifies a list of obligations. It opens with using equipment and systems that control pollutant emissions and keeping them maintained, and it includes telling the city’s environment ministry, SEDEMA, at once when that equipment fails. Article 214 adds that owners of sources of vapors and odors must install mechanisms to recover and reduce them.
Not every restaurant files. The exemption list published in the Gaceta Oficial on 22 September 2021 still applies; the MAU regulation of May 2026 keeps it in force until a new list appears. It covers à la carte, taco and torta, and take-away restaurants only when every condition holds. The conditions are up to ten employees, no sound system or live music, no indirect-heating combustion equipment of 5 boiler horsepower or more, and no firewood or charcoal used to prepare food. As we read the list, a restaurant that grills over charcoal, or has more than ten staff, is outside it. The regulation’s consultation of obligations asks outright whether a business uses charcoal or firewood.
For the equipment order this changes the brief rather than the product. Where the restaurant files the MAU, an electrostatic stage is one way to control grease and smoke particles, and an odor complaint points to UV-C and activated carbon stages behind it; whether the equipment satisfies the filing is SEDEMA’s decision. The maintenance record then matters as much as the purchase, because the MAU expects the equipment to be maintained and its failures reported. Outside Mexico City the state and the municipality set the rules, and this page does not read them.
| Mexico City situation | What the text says | What it means for the order |
|---|---|---|
| A source that emits or may emit odors, gases or particles | Holds the MAU; its obligations include using and maintaining emission-control equipment and reporting failures (Article 200) | An ESP is one way to control the particles; keep its cleaning record |
| A source of vapors and odors | The owner installs mechanisms to recover and reduce them (Article 214) | An odor condition points to UV-C and carbon stages behind the ESP |
| Restaurant with up to ten employees, no sound system or live music, no indirect-heating equipment of 5 boiler horsepower or more, and no charcoal or firewood | On the 2021 exemption list | No MAU filing; the brief comes from the landlord, the consultant or a complaint, and Article 214 still applies to vapors and odors |
| Restaurant that cooks over charcoal or firewood, or has more than ten employees | Not on the list, as we read it | Plan for the MAU and its control-equipment obligation from the start |
This table summarizes the city texts as we read them. It does not decide whether a particular restaurant files; SEDEMA’s own consultation of obligations does that.
Manzanillo, Veracruz or Altamira, and the Incoterm
Most Mexican projects land on one of two coasts. On the Pacific, ASIPONA Manzanillo places the port in Colima and describes it as the main gateway for the international trade of central Mexico and the Bajío, and as Mexico’s main container gateway. On the Gulf, ASIPONA Veracruz describes its port as the national leader in container traffic on the Gulf of Mexico. Further north, ASIPONA Altamira lists Monterrey, Saltillo, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro and Mexico City among the cities that use its services regularly. A CIF quotation names the destination port to which we pay the freight and insurance; a FOB or EXW quotation hands the sea leg, and the port question, to your forwarder. Transit time is the one figure this page cannot give you. Ask for it with the proforma invoice, add it to the 7–15 day lead time, and check the total against your on-site date.
| Project region | Usual gateway | What to write in the enquiry |
|---|---|---|
| Guadalajara, the Bajío and central Mexico | Manzanillo | “CIF Manzanillo”, and who clears at the port |
| Mexico City | Manzanillo, Veracruz or Altamira, by your forwarder’s routing | “CIF” with that port named, and who clears there |
| Monterrey, Saltillo and the northeast | Altamira | “CIF Altamira”, and who clears at the port |
| Elsewhere | The port your forwarder clears at | “CIF” with that port named, or “FOB” or “EXW” with your forwarder’s details |
Transit time and clearance costs are not in the table. Your forwarder and your broker supply both.
Documents for the broker, the consultant or the authority
Two readers look at the paperwork on a Mexican order. The customs broker needs the technical description behind the tariff fraction; the consultant, the inspection unit or the authority looks at the installation. We assemble the pack against both lists: certificates, third-party test reports, general arrangement drawings and specification sheets. The approval stays with the project, and nothing in the pack is an approval, an installation certificate or a NOM certificate.
| Document | What it supports | What it does not prove on its own | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| CE certificate FQC2602501 (Machinery, EMC and Low Voltage directives) | Conformity of the models it names: the LK series LK30–LK480, the LK-E1 models LK30E1–LK150E1 and the UV series | Coverage of any model not named on it; compliance with a Mexican NOM, which the CE marking does not address | Match the model numbers in the offer against the certificate |
| RoHS 2.0 certificate BKC25114877LC | Restricted-substance compliance for the lines it names, the LK, LK-E and HME series among them | Coverage beyond the lines it names; electrical safety of any kind | The same model-number check |
| ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certificates (ABZB25Q30072R3M, ABZB25E30043R3M, ABZB25S30027R2M) | The management systems the factory works under | The performance of any particular unit | Ask for copies with the pack |
| Third-party test report ZY05W230298 (CMA-accredited) | Grease removal of up to 97.6% on LK units at rated, evenly distributed airflow, under that test | An odor result, a result at another velocity, a result on a 60 Hz build, or the result on a different model or on a hood | Request the report itself and check the serial-number link and test conditions before treating the figure as a performance basis |
| General arrangement drawings and specification sheets | Dimensions, flange sizes, weights and the electrical data of the offered configuration, hood or in-duct | That the unit fits your duct route or the hood fits your cooking line; that check belongs to your contractor | Send them to the broker with the tariff description, and to the electrical contractor for the inspection |
This table answers what each document can carry. It does not answer what your broker or reviewer will accept; only their lists do that. Send them to us early in the enquiry and we will work out with you how to cover each item.
The certificates behind these numbers are listed by product line on our ESP certifications page. The company facts a vendor registration usually asks for are on our electrostatic precipitator supplier profile. Our units are exported to 50 countries, Mexico among them.
What to send for a quotation
“Campana con precipitador, ¿precio?” is the enquiry that gets back a number no one can compare, and on a Mexican order it can also get back a 50 Hz build nobody asked for. Ten lines fix that. Four of them exist because the unit is imported into a 60 Hz market and installed in a regulated kitchen. They are the frequency and voltage, the importer and how it clears, the fraction the broker will declare, and the Mexico City filing.
The 10-Input Mexico ESP Enquiry Sheet — the ten lines that make a Mexican quotation comparable with any other. The ten market-neutral inputs behind every country sheet, with where each one is found and what comes back, are set out in our electrostatic precipitator quotation guide.
| # | Send us | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Extract rate in m³/h, and who set it | Fixes the model size, or the number of hoods |
| 2 | Cooking style and load, and whether charcoal or firewood is used: grill, plancha, trompo, fryers, wok | Sets the electrostatic tier, whether an odor stage is worth discussing, and in Mexico City whether the MAU applies |
| 3 | The space for an in-duct unit with its access side marked, or the cooking line length for a hood; whether a campana is fabricated locally; and the Spanish term the drawings use | Decides the route, and shows whether a wet scrubber, a lavador de gases, has been specified that we do not make |
| 4 | Site power supply: the system the building has, such as 220Y/127 V, and the voltage measured at the panel that will feed the unit | Mexico is 60 Hz, so the order is configured; the equipment rating must not be lower than the circuit voltage |
| 5 | Whether the extract fan is in our scope, for an in-duct installation | Keeps offers comparable; an HME hood carries its own fan |
| 6 | Destination port and preferred Incoterm, the importer of record and its Padrón registration, and whether it clears through an agente aduanal or its own legal representative | Fixes the freight basis of the proforma invoice and who the documents are issued to |
| 7 | The tariff fraction the broker will declare, and whether it carries a NOM requirement at entry | Settles the compliance question before the order rather than at the port |
| 8 | Who reviews the installation, the document list they issue, and the inspection unit if the restaurant’s installed load is above 10 kW | Lets us assemble the pack to that list and send the electrical data where it is needed |
| 9 | For Mexico City: whether the restaurant files the MAU or is on the exemption list | Tells us whether the offer has to support an emission-control filing and its maintenance obligation |
| 10 | Required on-site date | Shows whether the lead time plus freight fits your schedule |
What you get back:
- The route the offer is based on, in-duct or hood, and the model selection at your airflow, configured for 60 Hz and your measured voltage
- The pressure drop of an in-duct unit stated as complete unit, or the hood’s rated airflow and electrical input
- A proforma invoice on your Incoterm, issued to the importer of record
- The technical description your broker needs for the fraction, and the submission pack list matched to your reviewer
- The warranty and consumable boundary, in writing
There is no list price, because the number follows the route, the airflow and the configuration. What sets an electrostatic precipitator price explains what moves it.
Scope and limits
Three layers clear separately. Layer one, the offer: the route, the 60 Hz configuration, the terms, the documents and the shipping record. Layer two, the site: the importer’s registration and the fraction it declares, any NOM requirement, the electrical inspection before connection, the MAU in Mexico City, installation, ductwork, supports and access decide whether that configuration goes in as quoted. Layer three, operation: delivered airflow, capture at the hood, cleaning and consumables decide the result at the discharge. Passing one layer does not clear the next. A shipping record belongs to layer one only.
- No prices appear on this page. Send the enquiry sheet and the price comes back against a stated configuration.
- No transit time is stated. Ask for it with the proforma invoice and add it to the 7–15 day lead time.
- No Mexican project is named. Mexico is on the shipped list; that is a supply record, not a performance record.
- The NOM reading is ours. Which fraction applies, and whether it carries a NOM, is the importer’s and its broker’s call against the current annex; several amendments to the annex could not be opened for this page.
- The Mexico City reading is ours. Whether a restaurant files the MAU is decided through SEDEMA’s own process; the rules of other states and municipalities are not read here.
- Certificates cover the models they name. The CE certificate names LK30–LK480, LK30E1–LK150E1 and the UV series, and it is not a Mexican conformity document; check every model number in the offer against it, ours included.
- Nothing here is an approval. The inspection unit, the authority and the design consultant decide on what your contractor submits, so send us their list before the pack is assembled.
- No cleaning interval is given. The washing interval is set in writing for your site with the configuration proposal.
Key takeaways
- Record: Mexico is on the shipped list, but no Mexican project is published; the test report for the series offered, not the shipping record, speaks to performance.
- Supply: Mexico is 60 Hz, so the order is configured; the 220 V build takes its supply between phases of a 220Y/127 V system, and NOM-001-SEDE-2012 rules out equipment rated below the circuit voltage.
- Import: the importer registers in the Padrón de Importadores and clears through its legal representative or an agente aduanal; as we read the NOM annex, its hood and purifier lines are household only.
- Mexico City: a restaurant that grills over charcoal or employs more than ten people falls outside the MAU exemption list, as we read it, and the MAU certifies that emission-control equipment is used and maintained.
- Enquiry: the 10-Input Mexico ESP Enquiry Sheet makes quotations comparable; “campana con precipitador, ¿precio?” does not.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Have you supplied electrostatic precipitators in Mexico?
- Mexico is on our shipped list, on the Americas line of our supplier profile, but our published project record names no Mexican installation, and this page does not name one either. The list records that units have been shipped to Mexico before. It says nothing about the result at your discharge, which follows your cooking load, the airflow delivered, capture at the hood and how the cells are cleaned.
- Does the unit need reconfiguring for Mexico’s 60 Hz supply?
- Yes, for the frequency. Our brochure input is 220 V, 50 Hz for in-duct units and 380 V, 50 Hz for HME hoods, while Mexico’s grid code holds the system at 60 Hz, so the power supply and any fan are configured for 60 Hz on the order. On a 220Y/127 V system the 220 V build takes its supply between phases; NOM-001-SEDE-2012 does not allow equipment rated below the circuit voltage, so state what the panel measures.
- Does an imported kitchen electrostatic precipitator need a NOM certificate at Mexican customs?
- Not under its hood and air-purifier lines, as we read them, though the broker has the last word. Annex 2.4.1 lists the tariff fractions that need a NOM certificate at entry, and those two lines under NOM-003-SCFI-2014 cover only household hoods and purifiers designed exclusively for household hoods. If the broker declares another fraction, check that fraction against the current annex before the proforma invoice.
- Does a Mexico City restaurant need emission-control equipment?
- If it files the MAU, yes: Article 200 of the city’s environmental law makes using and maintaining emission-control equipment one of the obligations the MAU certifies. Restaurants are exempt from filing only with up to ten employees, no sound system or live music, no boiler of 5 boiler horsepower or more, and no charcoal or firewood. Separately, Article 214 obliges owners of sources of vapors and odors to install mechanisms to reduce them, filing or not.
- How do I get a price for an electrostatic precipitator in Mexico?
- Send the extract rate, the cooking style and whether charcoal is used, the space or hood length, and the site voltage as measured, noting 60 Hz. Add whether the fan is in scope, the destination port and Incoterm, the importer and how it clears, the fraction its broker will declare, the reviewer’s list and the on-site date. There is no list price; you get back a model selection and a proforma invoice to Manzanillo, Veracruz or Altamira.
