ARE YOU THINKING OF STARTING A CATERING BUSINESS?

The catering industry is growing at an exceptional rate, the Corona Virus COVID-19 had bought the world to a standstill during the first 6 months of 2020, as governments across the globe enforced lockdowns and curfews, people could not go out to eat, the home delivery service offered by most catering businesses like restaurants and takeaways flourished according to Skytech Research the catering industry was set to be worth a staggering £161 Billion by 2024, which we believe will be surpassed now. 

Starting a new business is an exciting and challenging time when thinking of starting a catering business one of the key elements to think about is your Commercial Catering Kitchen and the most important part of this is the Commercial Kitchen Extraction System. Government regulations do not allow any cooking equipment using gas to be operational without a fully functional extraction system in place, to enforce this it is compulsory to have a gas interlock switch installed in a commercial kitchen which will stop all gas using cooking appliances from working if the extraction system has stopped working.

What is a commercial kitchen extraction system you must be thinking?

An extraction system in a commercial kitchen is a combination of elements which together extract all the smoke, heat and hazardous fumes out of the commercial kitchen, these elements include a canopy which is installed on top of cooking appliances and is the first mechanism in extracting the fumes and smoke by taking it all in using vented filters, the second element is the ducting which is used to transport the smoke and fumes out of the building, the 3rd and one of the most instrumental element is the commercial kitchen extractor fan which provides the suction to suck the smoke and fumes in via the canopy, transport them through the ducting and extract them out of the building safely, the canopy and ducting are made of stainless steel for easy cleaning.

Do I need a commercial kitchen extraction system in my kitchen? Is probably the second though going through your head.

Yes, is the answer to this question, local authorities all across the UK have to grant premises with a catering license for it to operate, and having a fully functional and effective extraction system is a vital requirement which must be met before they can issue the license. A working extraction system must be installed and it must be maintained and cleaned on a regular basis to make sure it is effective and working as it should be, a non-existent or not working extraction system will result in a fine and premises closure. To enforce this requirement local authorities regularly visit catering business and give them a hygiene rating.

Commercial kitchen extraction systems are vital for removal of toxic hazardous gases, smokes, heat, food and grease particles the kitchen ensuring your commercial kitchen is a safe, clean and comfortable environment, non-effective extraction systems are also a major fire hazard.
