Grease elimination / KitTech

Wherever there are work processes that involve heating fats and wherever food is cooked, roasted or fried, air that is very polluted with grease is produced. This is a problem for large kitchens and the catering trade in general, and also for the food industry. Not only do grease deposits in the extraction hood and the whole exhaust air shaft increase the risk of fire, they also necessitate regular expensive chemical cleaning and extensive maintenance work entailing downtime.

The solution to this problem is KitTech, an innovative UV-C ozone cleaning system developed by the BARO research department which is straightforward to integrate in both existing and planned kitchen air extraction systems. KitTech complies with the DIN standard 18869-7.

The functional principle is simple yet extremely effective

Air that is polluted with grease is irradiated inside the KitTech by special UV-C ozone lamps that trigger a photolytic oxidation process which "cold burns" and destroys organic substances in the exhaust air such as fats. All residue produced in this process is 100% biodegradable and exits from the system with the waste air stream. The ozone produced in the KitTech moreover enables permanent regeneration of the integrated active charcoal filter/catalyst. This means that there is no need to regularly replace the filter (which would be expensive), or to clean the system using chemicals.

A whole host of advantages that make good business sense

The advantages of KitTech are impressive:

Greatly reduced fire risk
Minimisation of maintenance and cleaning costs
Longer service life for all technical components of the air extraction system
The use of active charcoal filters is ideal in combination with heat exchangers – quicker amortization of KitTech is guaranteed
