Q: Our company based in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia. Do you do delivery to South East Asia.
Q: Do you have a video or any information on the step-by-step process of using the Grease Comb to perform a grease comb test?
A: Here is a sample video I found on the interwebs:
Click HereThe GREASE COMB measures the amount of grease buildup on hoods, fans, ducts, and other surfaces using depth-gauge teeth and inserting/scraping the comb over any area where there is grease buildup in the system.
Safety First:
Ensure that the system is off and cooled down. You dont want to get burned or come into contact with hot grease.
Wear protective gloves to prevent contamination and potential skin irritation from old grease.
Use safety goggles to protect your eyes from any splatters.
Clean the Grease Comb: Before using it, ensure the grease comb is clean, so you get an accurate reading.
Selection of Sampling Spots:
Don’t just measure one spot. You want to test multiple areas to get an average reading and to identify the worst areas.
Focus on areas such as vertical surfaces, filters, and ducts as these are places where grease tends to accumulate. Some additional examples of where to test are at the access panel, underneath the hood, and inside the plenum.
Using the Grease comb
Insert the comb vertically onto the grease-covered surface, applying pressure evenly on both sides, until it touches the solid surface underneath (like the metal of the hood). Pull the comb out and observe which marked sections of the comb have grease on them. The highest mark with grease on it will indicate the thickness of the grease in that spot.Not much scraping should be required; if you do need to, scrape only as much area as possible to visibly see it on the comb.
After every measurement, wipe off the grease to ensure accuracy for the next testing spot.
Once done, clean the grease comb with a degreasing solution and store it properly.
The primary reason for measuring grease accumulation and conducting regular hood cleanings is to reduce the risk of fires. Regular maintenance, combined with monitoring using tools like the grease comb, can go a long way in ensuring a safer kitchen environment.
