About this Project
Eataly is the Italian food marketplace that began in Turin in 2007 and opened its first U.S. location in New York in 2010. Each location combines restaurants, bakeries and retail counters under one roof. Smoki® USA has provided pollution control systems to pizzerias in several Eataly locations, including La Pasta and La Pizza at Eataly Downtown inside 4 World Trade Center.
The challenge
La Pasta and La Pizza cooks in two Italian wood-fired pizza ovens, and the bakery runs a large Spanish wood-fired bread oven. A conventional installation would carry each oven’s chimney all the way to the roof. In the iconic 4 World Trade Center tower, that run would have been extremely costly and technically difficult.
The Smoki® solution
Smoki® USA supplied three units:
- two Smoke Zapper 250 units, one for each Italian pizza oven
- one Smoke Zapper 300 for the Spanish bread oven
The Smoke Zappers clean and cool the exhaust before it leaves the building, so it can be released as clean water vapor instead of smoke.
The result
The ovens vent safely out the side of the building, with no rooftop chimney line, and without smoke or odor reaching neighboring buildings.
