Odour neutralization in gastronomy & food production – fresh air for guests and employees

Intense odors inevitably arise in kitchens, restaurants, commercial kitchens and production facilities. Roasting, frying and cooking fumes not only affect employees, but also guests, neighbors and the environment.

In industrial food processing, other factors such as grease mist, spice and production odors are added.

With the air purification systems from oxytec, these odours can be reliably neutralized – for fresh air, satisfied guests and safe production processes.

Typical odor sources in gastronomy & food production

Range
Typical odors
Special features
Catering kitchens Frying, deep-frying and cooking odors Grease mist is deposited in exhaust air systems
Bakeries & confectioneries Baking processes, sweet or roasted odors Masks other odors, penetrates to the outside
Food production Spices, animal products, preparation processes Frequently high air volume flows
Canteens & commercial kitchens Mixed odors from different foods Continuous operation, heavy load
Filling & packaging Food residues, cleaning processes Odors enter work areas

Why odor elimination is crucial here

  • Customer satisfaction: Guests expect fresh air instead of food odors.
  • Employee comfort: Permanent odor pollution reduces the quality of work.
  • Neighborhood & environment: Complaints due to exhaust air are frequent points of conflict.
  • Hygiene & safety: Grease mist increases fire risks and requires technical solutions.
