Why Discharge Point Cleaning is Essential for Your Extraction System
15/08/2025
At Carb’n-Off, we understand that keeping discharge points clear is critical to maintaining an efficient extraction system. However, it’s not always straightforward, especially since discharge points are often located at the very end of the system, high up on rooftops or in hard to reach places.
Why discharge point cleaning matters?Over time, grease, dust, and debris can build up at discharge points, leading to:
- Reduced suction and airflow across the system
- Increased strain on fans and motors
- Risk of costly breakdowns or system failure
-Poor air quality in the working environment
- Non-compliance with TR19® Grease standards
Access challenges Because discharge points are the final stage in the extraction process, they’re often positioned in difficult to access areas. Reaching them safely and effectively can require:
- MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform) hire
- Scaffolding
- Specialist rope access
- Other bespoke access solutions
