Grease Hood Drain refers to a designated drainage channel installed beneath the exhaust hood in a food trailer. Its purpose is to collect grease that condenses from vapors during cooking and direct it into a removable container for safe, sanitary disposal. This system is critical in mobile kitchens equipped with fryers, griddles, or other high-heat appliances where airborne grease accumulation is routine.
Select a grease hood drain system that is compatible with your hood and easy to access for cleaning. Inspect regularly for clogs and ensure the container is emptied before reaching capacity. Routine maintenance not only enhances safety but also helps prevent code violations and equipment downtime.
Hood Fan Speed
Hood Fan Speed refers to the adjustable airflow rate of the exhaust fan within a food trailer’s commercial hood system. This setting regulates the removal of heat, smoke, steam, and grease-laden vapors from the cooking environment. In mobile food operations, where confined spaces and consistent air circulation are critical, managing hood fan speed is key […]
Vent Hood Damper
The vent hood damper is a mechanical device installed within the exhaust system of a food trailer’s commercial hood. Its primary role is to regulate the volume of air being expelled from the cooking area, while also preventing external air from entering through the exhaust system. In mobile food units, where ventilation efficiency directly impacts […]
Vent Hood Clearance
Vent hood clearance refers to the minimum required distance between a commercial kitchen hood system and any combustible materials inside a mobile food trailer. This clearance is defined by national and local fire codes, such as those from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), to minimize fire risk from heat and grease build-up during cooking.
