Halton Electrostatic Precipitator for Demanding Commercial Kitchens

January 6, 2026

Effective kitchen exhaust treatment is an essential need for the catering industry. The high-grease, high-heat nature of many cooking techniques makes this a particularly demanding challenge. Achieving efficient grease removal, ensuring a healthy environment, and maintaining compliant emissions are therefore core priorities when selecting equipment.

To address these needs, the Halton ESP-C Electrostatic Precipitator provides an integrated solution. We will now detail its core functions and show how it fits into your kitchen operations.

Core Functions

Significant kitchen exhaust from high-grease cooking presents a core challenge for commercial ventilation across many cuisines. Halton ESP-C tackles these challenges head-on with three clear benefits, utilizing high-voltage electrostatic technology to provide a comprehensive solution.

  • Effective Grease Removal. Halton ESP-C uses high-voltage electrostatic technology to capture grease. Here’s how it works: as air flows through, grease particles are electrically charged and then securely collected on grounded metal plates. This efficient process significantly reduces grease in the exhaust, helping to keep commercial kitchen air cleaner.
  • Health & Environmental Benefits. The system effectively removes harmful compounds from kitchen exhaust, such as acrolein and benzopyrene. This reduces immediate irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat of kitchen staff, while also lowering long-term health risks, including cancer, associated with prolonged exposure. By delivering cleaner air, it improves the environment both inside the kitchen and in surrounding living spaces, contributing to a better quality of life.
  • Cost Savings. Key components are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring high stability and reliability with no regular replacement needed. Accumulated grease can be easily cleaned through manual or automated washing systems, eliminating the need for frequent filter changes. This not only saves on filter costs but also reduces long-term operating and maintenance expenses, making the system well-suited for large-scale, continuous operations.

Recommended Combination

  • Halton PST PolluStop Unit. Halton ESP-C can be integrated as a module within Halton PST PolluStop Unit. Specifically designed for commercial kitchen ventilation systems, Halton PST is ideal for applications with strict emissions requirements. The system targets and captures various grease particulates while effectively removing both oil smoke and odors, delivering enhanced purification precision.
  • Complete Solution. The PolluStop was developed to complement the Capture Jet™ kitchen exhaust hoods or Ventilated Ceiling Systems. Together, they form a complete “capture–filter–purify” treatment chain, ensuring effective control of grease and fumes at every stage—from generation to final emission.
  • Optional Features. Halton ESP-C modules are available in two types: waterwash and non-waterwash. The waterwash type must be used with a fan to enable drying after cleaning, ensuring continuous and stable operation. Optional features such as Halton Connect IoT platform and a digital display panel are also available to enhance operational and monitoring convenience.

Designed for the intense grease and smoke, Halton ESP-C Electrostatic Precipitator provides efficient purification that protects health and reduces operating costs. It enables kitchens to achieve cleaner emissions, meet compliance standards, and safeguard both staff and the environment—making it a robust solution for high‑demand cooking operations worldwide.
