Industrial kitchen exhaust systems are designed to remove smoke, steam, grease-laden vapours, and cooking odours from commercial kitchens. As grease-laden vapours pass through the system, grease gradually accumulates within the ductwork. Over time, these grease deposits become highly flammable and significantly increase fire risk.

A contaminated industrial exhaust system operates less efficiently, increasing energy consumption. Depending on contamination levels, contaminated exhaust systems may increase energy consumption by up to 30% compared to properly maintained systems.

A contaminated industrial exhaust system reduces the effective removal of smoke, steam, and unpleasant odours.

The required cleaning frequency for industrial kitchen exhaust systems depends on hygiene and fire safety requirements. In commercial food service facilities, exhaust systems require cleaning at least every three months. In other facilities, systems should be inspected according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, but at least annually, with cleaning performed when required.

Regular exhaust system cleaning helps reduce the risk of equipment failure, minimise maintenance requirements, and lower repair costs.

It also helps create a cleaner, more comfortable environment for employees and customers.

Grease-contaminated kitchen exhaust systems increase the risk of food contamination.

Our specialists will assess the condition of your exhaust system and recommend the most suitable cleaning schedule and maintenance solutions.
