Kitchen Duct Cleaning Qatar
Commercial and Industrial Kitchens use sophisticated extractions systems to vent smoke, odours and steam away from the cooking area and ensure odours do not migrate to restaurants or adjacent non cooking areas. These systems accumulate large amounts of grease, oil and smoke residue. Consequently these systems require regular inspection and cleaning in compliance with local and international regulations in order to avoid the high probability of fire. Similarly, lint and dry flammable dust becomes accumulated in the laundry ducts which if left unclean can be a serious fire hazard.

Kitchen Duct Cleaning Services
Cooking generates high levels of pernicious air pollutants. Commercial and Industrial Kitchens use extraction systems to exhaust heat, smoke, gas, fumes, odor, vapors, and other particles generated from the cooking process out of the building. The kitchen exhaust system is typically custom-designed for each property. Exhaust systems depend on the size of the kitchen space, type of cooking, the expected number of people, heat-generating equipment operating at a given time, and the volume of cooking.
The kitchen ductwork is implemented where it is not possible to exhaust directly to the atmosphere from the kitchen space. Sometimes meters of ducting are laid up to the roof of the building for safe discharge of the extracted air. Typically, a well-designed system will have the canopy, baffle filters at the canopy, the exhaust duct — horizontal and vertical, lighting, ecology system with aluminium plated filter, synthetic bag filter, electrostatic precipitator, and carbon filter; fire suppression system, CO2 monitoring, noise suppression system, gas safety interlock, extractor fans, replacement fresh air system, and sometimes UV lights.
Also, the large amounts of accumulated grease, oil, and smoke residue put you at risk of breaking compliance regulations. Consequently, these systems require regular inspection and cleaning to comply with local and international regulations.
Kitchen duct cleaning is a very specialized cleaning service. Grease deposits in the kitchen ducts get solidified over some time. Removing the contaminants and cleaning the system to bare metal is best done by manually scraping them after initial chemical treatment.
Although kitchen duct cleaning can be done using motorized means, the best result is achieved by cleaning them manually. This requires cleaning technicians to get into the duct system or make as many access opening as required to reach the entire length of the duct.
NOFM technicians are trained and skilled to create access openings without destroying the integrity of the duct. Also, ensure to close the Duct access properly as per the prescribed international standards and methods. If the access points are not sealed correctly, the ventilation capability can be compromised and it can become a safety risk.
Risks associated with kitchen duct cleaning are many as it involves working at height, working in a confined space, working with fire hazards, moving on slippery surfaces, and working with the chemical. Therefore, the technicians must be medically fit, trained, certified, and skilled.

Oily preparations and charcoal and charbroiled cooking require more frequent cleaning. Regular maintenance plan and execution minimizes the probability of fire breakouts and ensures your staff and customers are safe.
