What Turbofan does

Turbofan is a commercial foodservice equipment brand specializing in convection ovens, combi steam ovens, prover/holding cabinets, and ventless condensing hoods for professional kitchens. Owned by Moffat Group Pty Ltd (ACN 069 691 407) and operated under the Ali Group umbrella, the company designs and supplies a full product range — the 20, 30, and 40 Series ovens, P Series provers, H and EH Series holding cabinets, VH Series ventless hoods, and combination units — with manual, digital, and touch-control configurations. Core engineering centers on bi-directional reversing fan systems for even heat distribution, smart vent control for moisture management, three-stage ventless filtration, and touch interfaces with icon-driven programming.

The company sells to bakeries, patisseries, restaurants, hotels, QSR operators, caterers, cafés, convenience stores, and banqueting venues through a demonstration-led direct sales motion and regional distributors across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. Revenue is generated through hardware sales with quote-based pricing (no public list prices); customers are directed to book demonstrations or request brochures.

Turbofan is part of Moffat's diversified commercial kitchen equipment portfolio (alongside Blue Seal and adjacent brands) and benefits from the Ali Group's global distribution and service infrastructure. A core technology partnership with Halton extends the brand's reach into ventless-condensing-hood installations for space-constrained venues.
