Professional hygiene treatment for operational safety and employee protection

Polluted exhaust air systems are not only unhygienic, but also pose a significant risk of fire and explosion. In kitchens, the air is polluted by odors, grease components and gaseous combustion products. This grease contamination in the exhaust air lines creates a significant fire risk if not properly cleaned.

High requirements for hygiene

The task of an air handling unit in kitchens is to prevent contamination of food during preparation, storage and distribution by the incoming air. In addition, odours, pollutants and other gaseous substances should be removed without detours via the exhaust air.

The operator of kitchen ventilation systems must ensure that all relevant components are in a functional as well as technically and hygienically flawless condition. Proper cleaning, especially of aerosol separators, kitchen ventilation bonnets, kitchen ventilation ceilings, exhaust air motors and exhaust air ducts, is therefore required by the professional associations, legislators and insurance companies as state of the art. Special know-how is required to optimally clean kitchen exhaust air systems up to the exhaust air outlet. In addition, maintenance planning must be prepared, and maintenance and inspection intervals must be defined and documented.
