Food processing facilities have specific requirements for equipment and environmental control that differ greatly from those of commercial kitchens. In industrial food production, proper ventilation is essential—not only for regulatory compliance, but also for worker safety and environmental protection. Standard kitchen ventilation systems are not designed to meet these needs. With over 50 years of expertise, Halton designs and manufactures tailored ventilation solutions to address these challenges, providing reliable support for food manufacturers.
What Makes Food Plant Ventilation So Different?
Food processing plants face far more complex ventilation challenges than traditional commercial kitchens due to factors like production scale and equipment characteristics.
- Specialized equipment with high emissions: The industry uses specialized, high-capacity cooking equipment, which generates substantial heat, smoke, steam, and grease. Standard ventilation systems are not designed to handle such high loads effectively.
- Difficult installation and maintenance: Exhaust systems are often installed at height due to the size of cooking equipment and the use of conveyors or lifts, making access difficult and requiring tailored system designs.
- Strict hygiene and regulatory compliance: Exhaust management must comply with stringent national and local standards to ensure hygiene, which raises the design requirements for ventilation systems accordingly.
