Why filtering the exhaust air of dishwashing areas?

The trash (food, napkins etc) on the trays and dirty dishes generate an impressive quantity of dust and particles. If not filtered, this dust quickly builds up deposits inside the ductwork. They are similar to a “fluff” that is ideal for bacteria development thanks to the steam and heat released by the equipment.

Having a mechanical filtration in dishwashing areas prevents the build-up of these bacteria traps. The dust deposition on the filters after only one day’s operation speaks for itself.

Halton’s KCV ventilated ceiling for dishwashing areas Benefits

The dishwashing areas are often considered as the last wheel of the coach. And yet, if some provisions are not taken, the working conditions inside can easily become a nightmare and hygiene of the kitchenware supposed to be clean can also be compromised.

Dishwashing areas are characterised by huge heat and humidity loads, not only coming from the washing equipment but also from the kitchenware that come out and continue to cool down and dry where they are stored.  Germs and bacteria coming from guests’ plates and trays as well as detergent constitutes additional pollutants. Noise of the equipment should also be taken into account.

On KCV ventilated ceilings, the Capture Jet™ technology becomes an option. The rest of the design is similar to KCJ ventilated ceilings. Combined with KCP passive ceilings, KCV constitutes the best possible solution ensuring the full safety and good working conditions inside dishwashing areas.
