Quickdraft

Self-Contained Oven and Fryer Exhaust Filtration System; Eliminates Grease and Particulate Build-up

Quickdraft has more than 70 years of experience providing innovative exhaust, exhaust filtration and pneumatic conveying systems to the food processing industry that improve food safety, employee safety and productivity to our customers.  

Food processors using ovens and fryers to cook their product often encounter significant maintenance and housekeeping issues with grease and particulate carryover in the exhaust stream, especially in heavy breading applications. Grease and oil can build up on the roof, causing damage and requiring frequent roof repair or replacement. In addition, rodents and other pests are attracted to the food particles, causing health and safety concerns and expensive pest control services.  Our exhaust systems provide dependable, consistent exhaust, keeping your production room smoke free.  Quickdraft now has over 400 exhaust filtration systems installed throughout the world solving these issues for our customers who are cooking or frying poultry, bacon, red meat, pork, tortilla chips, among other products. 

Quickdraft’s latest Demister XL Filtration System uses a multi-stage process of velocity reduction, change in exhaust direction, water spray scrubbing, and demister pad filtration to filter grease, oil, breading and particulate from the exhaust air stream. 

Venturi-Powered System
Quickdraft’s Venturi Exhauster replaces traditional in-line exhaust fans in high maintenance critical production environments. The use of venturi technology eliminates the impeller from the exhaust air stream, virtually eliminating maintenance, unstable exhaust and downtime typically associated with grease, oil or other material buildup on the exhaust fan wheel. Our systems can be installed with your new or existing oven and fryer equipment.

Exhaust Filtration Process
A three-stage process is used to remove grease, oil and particulate from the exhaust air stream:

1.    Knockdown and Velocity Reduction are used to slow the exhaust air stream and allow larger particles to fall out of the exhaust flow

2.    Water spray showers located at optimum locations are used to “scrub” the airflow of grease, oil and particulates

3.    A specially designed series of Demister filter pads capture as much of the remaining grease, oil and particulates as possible

Easy Cleaning
There are no moving components in the demister vessel, so it is easy to clean. The filters are automatically rinsed while in production and the waste materials are continuously washed away resulting in consistent filtration performance. Demister pad filters can be completely cleaned without being fully removed from the unit, and a built-in water recirculation system helps save both on water consumption costs. Control logic ensures the unit always has a water source to maintain filtration efficiency and system performance.

Save Time. Reduce Costs. Increase Efficiency.
The Demister XL System has been rated to be 99% efficient for eliminating particles 7 micron and greater and 80% efficient for 4-micron particulate removal. This exhaust filtration system eliminates smoke in the production room, reduces the number of roof cleanings, reduces pest control issues, extends the life of the roof and reduces maintenance costs.
