Are You A Restaurant Owner?

Why should you be concerned about your kitchens & surrounding areas internal ventilation systems?

Fire Suppression and safety
For years,advanced countries such as United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, China as well as all European Countries have imposed the ventilation airways cleaning task for various reasons. 
One reason stands as important “safety”.
We sometime overlook the unseen facts when we operate our equipment. But the true facts can be substantially damaging and harmful.
Below are the most important points to consider:

   a) Grease accumulation: “leading to fire hazard“
   b) Moisture & contaminants accumulation: “leading to bacterial formation”
   c) Dust particle accumulation: “leading to airways clogging and prevents fresh air circulation”
   d) Unwanted odors: “leading to unpleasant and uncomfortable atmosphere”

In all above cases we well know that the daily cleaning will only be exercised in accessible surfaces, a task that is important in the restaurant business but not enough for a long period of time.
Overtime a busy restaurant must consider a minimal risk of accident yet causing the highest damage possible such as fire, deadly disease, food contamination and unusual odors. Grease in a stove hood is a combustible and explosive element if ignored and untamed.
We have recently heard of some explosions in restaurants’ kitchens but we don’t pay too much attention to the real causes. We automatically blame it on a propane leakage or electrical short, which are in some, cases the true reason. Yet a sizeable kitchen duct can instigate a secondary explosion that will lead to additional and more damaging facts.

Bacterial formations pose a substantial issue to investigate and it requires a serious and professional practice to resolve.

Bacteria react to hot and cold temperatures. It reproduces itself at certain hot temperatures and breaks the bonding agents in the grease at cold temperatures. That could lead the mixture of Bacterial agents to break from the hood and duct walls. Finally it will travel back and forth
within the duct airways causing a major clogging in the internal filters, Ts & Ls & Us in the duct line up as well as clogging the end trap grids ending by disrupting the suction task. If broken bonding agents continue their journey back and forth, up & down stream over a considerable period of time it may lead those broken particulate to further break into dusty particulate at a close range of 0.5 micron where they will end up most definitely back through the suction filters and back into the food environment contaminating the food and the fresh air at once.

Bacteria reaching its peak of reproduction will certainly create an unpleasant odor especially when shorting vegetable paste is used for the cooking process. 

In brief the chemical and physical explanation may take pages to read. Yet it is important that
you look at all the facts before it gets too late.

Our role comes in explaining it, providing you with the proper literature if required then tell you how we can help you.

Controllers Services have certified agents for the career. They use the proper techniques according to the international standards to clean and treat your grease extract entire system from A to Z.

We will be pleased to assist you and assess all your needs in a short visit to your institution.

Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information.

A new task has been added to our line of services at controllers related to exhaust channels and pipelines of power generators, furnaces & industrial boilers Cleanup along with diesel oil, gas oil and fuel oil Storage and Feeding tanks that are the principal source to exhaust emission.
The immense use of power generation as well as the substantial use of furnaces and boilers in the manufacturing sector has made the task of cleaning exhaust pipelines imminent in both, environmental, and technological aspect which is, in the first place and subsequently, produced by the combustion of fuels.
Cleaning Your Exhaust System & Pipelines Should Be A Maintenance Task.
Since the exhaust system is an exhaling channel for high combustible equipments it is important to understand what happens if not cleaned and maintained. Combustibles commonly used in furnaces and generators are those of diesel, gas oil and fuel oil that are considered heavy oil combustibles capable of producing a large amount of ash and carbon particles from the combusting chamber.
Once carbon particles in different sizes, along with petroleum ash, are pushed through the pipelines and fittings within the exhaust system and depending on the buildup design, length and height, A CARBON / ASH ACCUMULATION takes place.This accumulation may be caused also by climate factors. High humidity is one of these factors.

The main reason remains this of the combustion.
The combustion of diesel & gas oil in generators is the main reason for breakdowns, excessive maintenance related to injectors malfunction, filters clogging etc… This problem leads to the generation of soot and carbon particulates in the exhaust system that eventually will in its turn
aggravate the problem causing additional complications in regards to the consumption of the fuel, the need of unnecessary spare parts. It can also cause poor performance to mention the least.

Diesel & Gas oil are minerals in a liquid form. When exposed to extreme heat and cooling the reproduction of bacteria accelerate causing petroleum fungus on storage tank walls and in feeding pipelines. When broken from the storage tank slipping through filters in small particles
then into the combusting components, ending up in the exhaust system as soot and carbon monoxide.

The periodical cleanup of diesel & gas oil storage tanks and reservoirs will not only reduce the need for exhaust system cleanup but it will grant the following:
  A) CLEAN BURN & EXHAUST EMISSION
  B) FUEL COMBUSTION SAVINGS
  C) MINIMIZING COST OF MAINTENANCE AND FILTERS REPLACEMENTS
  D) PEFORMANCE RELIABILITY AND SAFETY

Back to the exhaust system, the carbon will cumulate and amass in the pipelines. At every startup of the equipment and specifically when climate and temperature are conformed IMMENSE BLACK FUMES WILL EXIT FROM THE EXHAUST. Those immense fumes that disappear few minutes later are excess carbon particles that broke from the pile up of carbon and ash particles to a micron size and forced out by the vigor propulsion and thrust produced at the start up of those equipments. The exhaust components are subjected to far distances and are mainly built upward. This particular fact has few setbacks especially when subjected to humid climate.
At one point these carbon particles will transform in two types that of smaller particles forced out causing black fumes and another of bonded carbon blocks what will break and clog the airways.

MAKE SURE YOU START FROM THE SOURCE YOU FINISH WITH PROMOSING RESULTS.

From start to finish, Controllers will eliminate this problem for any size, structure, make up or height of any exhaust system as well as any structure, size or position of Diesel or gas oil storage tanks… Controllers will inspect, assess and determine all the required actions to service your establishment at the highest professional standards possible with the best competitive prices.

Industrial and residential chimneys are also a specialty.
