It’s a fact: dirty hood filters remove less grease from the air stream above your kitchen cooking area, reducing the airflow through your hood exhaust system. When grease-laden air can’t be filtered properly, it not only affects the performance of your kitchen equipment but can also allow grease vapors to escape into the dining area. This can lead to a smoky atmosphere, an uncomfortable dining experience, and even a significant fire hazard. The good news? The DECARBONATOR offers a more efficient and effective way to handle these critical cleaning tasks.
Why Hood Filter Maintenance is Essential
Cleaning your grease baffle filters between hood exhaust cleanings is not just a suggestion—it’s a necessity. Grease accumulation on filters directly impacts the airflow in your kitchen. Without proper airflow, smoke and heat build up, increasing utility costs, and most critically, raising the risk of fires. Depending on your cooking volume, this maintenance should be done daily, weekly, or monthly to ensure maximum filtering efficiency.
While manual washing and dishwashers can help, these methods often require significant labor and time. Plus, frequent use of harsh chemicals can lead to corrosion of filters, shortening their lifespan. That’s where a soak tank like the DECARBONATOR becomes invaluable.
The Power of the DECARBONATOR Soak Tank
The DECARBONATOR soak tank offers an effortless, time-saving, and cost-effective solution for hood filter maintenance. Simply fill the tank with water and the proprietary CarbonZyme solution, and let your filters soak overnight. By morning, they’ll be free of grease, grime, and carbon buildup, ready to reinstall with minimal effort. Unlike hand washing or dishwashers, which may require frequent water changes or cause corrosion, the Decarbonator system uses the same solution for up to a month, saving on labor and water costs (How It Works)(About the DECARBONATOR).
Not only is this system compliant with fire code regulations, but it also helps extend the life of your filters, reduces strain on your kitchen’s exhaust system, and keeps your utility bills manageable. Plus, it’s safer for your staff and better for the environment, as CarbonZyme is non-toxic and non-caustic (DECARBONATOR FAQ).
Hood Filter Cleaning Methods: A Quick Comparison
- Hand Washing: While thorough, hand washing requires a lot of time and elbow grease. Additionally, hand washing can’t get to the internal portions of the hood filters leaving them dirty. It also increases the risk of damaging filters due to improper handling or the use of harsh chemicals.
- Dishwasher: Running filters through a commercial dishwasher may save time, but frequent exposure to high heat and chemicals can cause corrosion, shortening the life of your filters.
- Soak Tank: A soak tank like the DECARBONATOR is the easiest and most efficient solution. With its ability to handle grease and carbon build up overnight or in as little as 20 minutes, and use the same cleaning solution for a month, it saves time, money, and labor while keeping your kitchen safe and compliant (The Truth About the Three Compartment Sink).
The DECARBONATOR Advantage
In addition to maintaining clean hood filters, the DECARBONATOR system can be used for other kitchen equipment as well. From pots and pans to grills and griddles, this soak tank cleans and degreases equipment with minimal effort. Simply submerge the equipment in the heated solution, and the Decarbonator takes care of the rest.
This kind of versatility is why more commercial kitchens are choosing the Decarbonator over traditional cleaning methods. Not only does it provide better cleaning results, but it also reduces labor costs, improves safety, and helps extend the lifespan of your equipment.
