With the persistent high temperatures of summer, fire safety in commercial kitchens cannot be ignored. Fire hazards are ever-present in commercial kitchens, often difficult to detect, and can have devastating consequences if they get out of control. To reduce the occurrence of fires and minimize economic losses and casualties, it is necessary to pay close attention to fire hazards, prevention, and firefighting in commercial kitchens.
High Temperatures Continue丨Kitchen Safety is Paramount During the Scorching Summer!
With persistently high temperatures and the scorching summer heat, safety issues in commercial kitchens cannot be ignored. In commercial kitchens, fire hazards are ever-present and often difficult to detect. Once out of control, the consequences are unimaginable. To reduce the occurrence of fires and minimize economic losses and casualties, it is necessary to pay close attention to the hazards, prevention, and extinguishing of fires in commercial kitchens.
The main fire hazards in commercial kitchens lie in the following aspects:
1. Aging Equipment and Poor Maintenance: After prolonged use, kitchen equipment is prone to aging, power outages due to aged wiring, and damaged electrical insulation, easily leading to fires.
2. Electrical Wiring Hazards: Some kitchens use aluminum core wires instead of copper core wires during renovations, wires are not enclosed in conduits, and circuit breakers lack back covers. Due to long-term exposure to water, electricity, and oil fumes, equipment is prone to leakage, short circuits, and fires. In addition, there are many machines operating in the kitchen, leading to overload, which easily causes fires.
3. Kitchen Stove and Utensil-Related Accidents: Improper use of stoves and utensils can easily cause kitchen fires. Improper operation of pressure cookers, steamers, rice cookers, freezers, ovens, etc., and improper use of oil can cause fires. Kitchen oils are broadly classified into two types: fuel oils and edible oils. During cooking, improper operation, excessive heat, and excessively high oil temperatures can easily lead to oil pan explosions, flames shooting up to the range hood, and thus causing fires. Therefore, it is essential to control the heat of the stove and the temperature of the oil in the pan during kitchen work.
4. Heavy Kitchen Oil Fumes: Kitchens deal with coal, gas, and fire year-round, and the environment is generally humid. Under these conditions, unevenly burned materials produced during fuel combustion and oil fumes from oil vaporization easily accumulate, forming a certain thickness of combustible oil and powder layers that adhere to the walls.
In addition to the above points, the special environment of commercial kitchens makes it very easy for oil fume pollution and greasy deposits to occur. This grease, fixed on the kitchen countertop, easily becomes an ignition source. Once a fire occurs, it will increase the fire intensity, making the fire difficult to control. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen front-end oil fume purification and promptly handle oil fumes. This wet composite oil fume purification unit can efficiently purify heavy oil and heavy smoke, effectively preventing fires.
Century Bailey Wet Composite oil fume purification unit not only effectively purifies heavy oil and smoke, but also reduces fire risks from multiple aspects. Using chemical liquid foam washing, based on the two-film theory of mass transfer, it processes oil fumes through multi-stage differential chemical reactions such as collision, absorption, condensation, filtration, and reaction, efficiently purifying oil fumes.
98% oil removal, 70% smoke removal, 60% odor removal. Front-end purification, superior fire prevention, range hoods, pipes, and fans do not accumulate oil, and automatic cleaning. Integrated extraction and purification, thus preventing grease from becoming an ignition source, ensuring continuous compliance with emission standards, improving kitchen air quality, and reducing the possibility of fires.
Fire hazards in commercial kitchens are ever-present and must be taken seriously. Through preventive measures such as equipment maintenance and fire source management, combined with the assistance of a wet composite oil fume purification unit, not only can the fire incidence rate be reduced, but production safety can also be ensured, reducing unnecessary losses.
