Ventilation of central kitchens for educational facilities
Reduce the contribution of energy and maintenance in the meal cost with the highest efficiency and hygiene level
Central kitchens are large scale meal production lines that serve several facilities, whether public, private, or both.
The education and health sectors are among the most significant catering segments with ever-increasing quality demands combined with ever-increasing financial constraints. It appears to be an insurmountable challenge. Halton’s ventilation solutions address some of the unknowns to contribute to overcoming the challenge directly.
Typical challenges
Producing a large number of well balanced meals in perfect safety and with strong financial constraints. This is the equation the public or private operators of central kitchens for educational facilities have to solve. It is clear it is not an easy one.
Central kitchens are characterized by a limited number of cooking appliance types of high capacity. They are often grouped by type, and certain groups are generally not used all times. It results in a significant amount of exhaust variability during normal operation. High demand in exhaust airflow moves or splits between groups of appliances, depending on their use.
Hygiene is then vital for such a large scale production operation. The requirements are the most significant of the catering businesses, at processes, including the ventilation system, which shall not generate cross-contamination of the air.
Why choose Halton
With Halton solutions, lower the part of the energy and maintenance in the meal cost while benefiting from the healthiest make-up air and a globally safe ventilation system.
