Why is good extraction important for your catering facility?

A good extraction system is important for your hospitality facility for several reasons:

  • Air quality: An efficient extractor keeps the air in your kitchen clean and healthy by removing harmful fumes, smoke and odors. This contributes to the well-being of your staff and guests.
  • Safety: Exhaust systems remove harmful fumes and smoke that can occur during cooking. This reduces the risk of fire and air pollution.
  • Comfort: Proper extraction ensures a comfortable working environment for kitchen staff, which improves productivity.

In short, proper extraction is not only crucial for health and safety, but also for the overall working environment in your hospitality facility.

Types of catering extraction

There are several types of exhaust systems available for catering establishments, each designed for specific applications and kitchen environments. Some common types include:

  • Fume hoods: These are placed directly above cooking equipment and extract fumes and smoke.
  • Ceiling extraction: Ideal for open kitchens, these systems are ceiling mounted and provide uniform air extraction.
  • Duct extraction: These systems use ducts to exhaust air to the outside, and are suitable for kitchens where direct exhaust to the outside is possible.
  • Recirculating exhaust: These systems purify the air and reintroduce it into the kitchen, but without harmful fumes and odors.

Choosing the right type of extractor depends on the layout of your kitchen, the type of cooking appliances you use and the space available.

Which catering extractor is suitable for my kitchen?

Determining the most appropriate extractor for your kitchen requires a few considerations:

  • Kitchen layout: Analyze the layout of your kitchen, including the placement of cooking equipment and workstations, to determine where the exhaust should be most effective.
  • Exhaust options: Check if your kitchen offers the ability to exhaust air directly to the outside via ducted exhaust. If this is not possible, recirculating exhaust can be an alternative.
  • Type of cooking equipment: Different cooking equipment produces different amounts of fumes and odors. Make sure the exhaust system is appropriate for the equipment you are using.
  • Air Volume: Calculate the air volume required to ensure that the exhaust system has sufficient capacity to remove all pollutants.
  • Budget: Set a budget for your extractor and look for options that are within your financial means.

Exhaust cleaning catering industry

Maintaining and cleaning your catering extractor is very important to ensure its efficiency and safety. Regular cleaning is essential; for example, perform weekly cleanings to remove grease buildup and debris. It is also important to check the filters and replace them according to the manufacturer's recommendations, as dirty filters reduce the efficiency of the extractor. It is also advisable to periodically hire a professional cleaning company for a thorough cleaning. Additionally, it is wise to have your exhaust system regularly inspected by a professional so that potential problems can be identified and corrected in a timely manner. Maintaining a clean extractor is not only conducive to efficiency, but also extends its life and contributes to the safety of your kitchen.
