When grease builds up throughout a kitchen extraction system, it becomes a fire hazard.

Every commercial kitchen extraction system consists of four main components: the extraction hood, vent hood filter, ductwork, and extractor fan.

The hood may be the most visible part of your extraction system, but grease-laden vapours must travel through the entire system to exit the building. Poor ventilation and the failure to adequately clean grease buildup on all components can lead to a rapidly spreading fire in your facility.
