Food Production
Food Production
The UK food industry is extensive and is the largest manufacturing sector in the UK, representing around 15% of the country's total manufacturing output.
For site engineering and technical managers, maintaining compliance with customer technical and product specifications is an important responsibility.
Food Safety & Ventilation
Food safety is essential in production environments. Regular inspection and cleaning of oven extraction and production-line ventilation systems can help manage the build-up of mould, dust, grease and other contaminants.
Keeping these systems properly maintained can also support better air quality and help manage potential fire risks.
Compliance & Documentation
Your HACCP analysis may identify grease and fume build-up within ductwork that requires cleaning. Clear inspection and maintenance records can help support BRC requirements, customer inspections and internal audit processes.
At Canopy Cleaning Services, we understand the specific challenges faced by food-processing facilities and provide a range of specialist cleaning services to support compliance with relevant requirements and customer standards.
Extraction Cleaning & Fire Safety
Commercial kitchen and food-production extraction systems require appropriate cleaning and maintenance to help manage grease accumulation.
Under TR19 Grease, the appropriate cleaning frequency depends on the level and type of system use.
As a general guide:
-
Heavy use (12–16 hours/day): cleaning at least quarterly
-
Moderate use (6–12 hours/day): cleaning at least every six months
-
Light use (2–6 hours/day): cleaning at least annually
Food-production extraction systems can experience higher levels of grease-laden air than standard kitchen extraction systems. As a result, a tailored cleaning regime may be appropriate based on the system, usage and risk assessment.
