The risk of fire

It may sound unbelievable, but in industrial kitchens, the greatest fire risk doesn't come from the cooktop or stovetops; rather, it arises from the hood and exhaust ducts for smoke extraction. Kitchens in hotels, restaurants, and cafeterias are prone to the accumulation of grease deposits.

The deposits can manifest as conspicuous cascades of grease, but, and here lies the problem, they can also be invisible to the naked eye, firmly encrusting along the smoke extraction ducts.

These grease deposits, if allowed to proliferate, become real chemical detonators capable of turning a spark into a live flame. Flames inside the ducts have the unpleasant characteristic of being self-sustained by mechanically drawn air, just as forests are engulfed by flames on hot windy days. A spark in contact with a grease deposit takes only moments to transform into a devastating fire.

But fire is not the only problem. Grease deposits can become focal points for food poisoning, releasing toxic substances onto the cooktop. Moreover, unclean hoods and smoke extraction systems regularly operate inefficiently, consume more energy, and cause unpleasant and persistent odors. It is, therefore, crucial to ensure regular and thorough cleaning of industrial kitchen hoods and ducts.
