The Problem

Kitchen extraction is the single greatest fire risk in commercial food environments.

Grease builds silently. Cleaning is infrequent, invasive, and expensive. Some ductwork is physically impossible to reach by hand. Most operators don't know the true state of their systems until an insurer flags it — or worse.

01

Unreachable buildup

Vertical risers, sealed shafts, and complex bends accumulate grease that no human or magnetic scraper can access. These hidden sections carry the highest fire risk and have zero compliance documentation.

02

Cleaning that doesn't prevent

A deep clean restores the duct to bare metal — then grease starts building again the same day. The cycle repeats every 6 to 12 months with nothing working in between.

03

No way to measure it

Operators schedule cleans by calendar, not by condition. Without data on actual grease levels, you're either cleaning too often and overspending, or not often enough and carrying risk you can't see.


Our Solutions

Eight integrated products for extraction hygiene, ice safety, beer line management, and intelligent monitoring.

Each product targets a specific problem in the food and beverage environment. Together, they replace fragmented, reactive maintenance with a connected system that cleans, prevents, measures, and manages.

Let's talk.

Operating a multi-site estate? We'll show you how to bring every site into full compliance with less disruption and lower cost. Running a vent cleaning company? We'll give your team robotic and preventive capability overnight.

01 — Extraction

VentBot

Robotic Duct Cleaning

Dry ice pellets at −78.5°C convert grease and carbon to fine dust. No scaffolding. No confined space entry. No building modifications.

An autonomous robot enters the duct, grips the walls with four or six extending legs, and blasts every surface with a 360° orbiting spray arm. Front and rear cameras document every centimetre.

How It Works

Enters the duct.
Cleans everything.

VentBot is inserted via an access panel. Four or six telescopic legs extend outward, gripping the duct walls with drive wheels. The robot traverses the entire system — vertically, horizontally, around bends — up to 70 metres from the entry point.

A spray arm orbits 360° around the inside circumference, blasting dry ice pellets at every surface. At −78.5°C, the thermal shock converts grease and carbon into fine dust. No water. No chemicals. No residue.

  • 01Robot inserted via standard access panel — no building modifications
  • 02Four or six extending legs grip duct walls in any geometry
  • 03360° orbiting spray arm blasts dry ice at −78.5°C
  • 04Grease and carbon sublimated to fine dust — zero residue
  • 05Front and rear cameras document every centimetre
  • 06Round, square, and rectangular ducts: 200mm–900mm
  • 07TR19 and NFPA 96 compliant report with photos
Service Model

We bring the robot.
We do the clean.

VentBot is a service, not a product you buy. Our technicians deploy alongside your existing vent hygiene partners, coordinating deep cleans across your entire estate.

  • No hardware for you to buy, maintain, or store
  • Site survey to assess access and complexity
  • Coordinated deployment across multi-site estates
  • Full TR19-compliant documentation after every clean
  • Works best paired with Pro-Vent for ongoing prevention

02 — Prevention

Pro-Vent

Automated Probiotic Fogging

Bacteria and enzymes that digest grease biologically — fogged into your ductwork every night, automatically. Patented technology.

Spore-forming Bacillus bacteria colonise duct surfaces and continuously break down fat, protein, and starch into CO₂ and water.

How It Works

Bacteria that eat grease.
Every night. Automatically.

Four ultrasonic nozzles disperse 600ml of probiotic liquid as ultra-fine fog (10–50 microns). Three strains of spore-forming Bacillus bacteria germinate on contact with grease, producing lipase, protease, and amylase enzymes.

  • 01Patented technology — UK approved, EU/US applications in progress
  • 024 ultrasonic nozzles fog 600ml/day overnight
  • 03Spore-forming bacteria survive fogging and colonise surfaces
  • 04Lipase, protease, amylase break down all grease components
  • 05Fully automated — no staff involvement required
  • 06Monthly service by FBIS: check, replenish, report
  • 07Best results after VentBot deep clean

03 — Capture

VentGuard

Advanced Grease Baffle Filter

Compound-curve baffle geometry that captures 50% more grease than standard filters — including fine particles below 10µm. Patent pending.

VentGuard intercepts grease at the point of entry into the extraction system. Coalescence zones force fine droplets to merge into larger ones. Compound curves capture them. Integrated capillary drainage prevents re-entry.

How It Works

Captures grease.
Before it enters the duct.

Standard baffles let fine grease particles pass straight through. VentGuard uses compound-curve geometry to accelerate air through a narrowing throat, forcing fine droplets to collide and merge. Larger droplets are captured by the curves and drained through an integrated capillary system.

  • 01Air accelerates through baffle throat — fine droplets collide
  • 02Coalescence zone merges fine particles into larger droplets
  • 03Compound curves capture merged grease on contact
  • 04Integrated capillary drainage prevents re-entry into airflow
  • 0550% more grease captured than standard baffle filters
  • 06Zero moving parts — passive, maintenance-free operation
  • 07Pairs with Pro-Vent and DuctSense for complete extraction hygiene

04 — Measurement

DuctSense

Real-Time Grease Measurement

Optical sensors that measure grease accumulation daily — predicting when cleaning is actually needed instead of guessing on a calendar. Patent pending.

Strategic sensor placement across canopy, vertical risers, and horizontal runs maps the entire extraction system. A proprietary FBIS algorithm tracks accumulation rates, predicts thresholds, and auto-books cleaning when needed.

How It Works

Measures grease.
Predicts when to clean.

DuctSense uses optical sensing to measure grease depth across your extraction system every day. The proprietary FBIS algorithm tracks accumulation rates, adjusts for seasonal cooking pattern changes, and predicts exactly when the cleaning threshold will be reached.

  • 01Optical sensors measure grease depth to 0.1mm precision
  • 02Strategic placement: canopy, vertical risers, horizontal runs
  • 03Proprietary FBIS algorithm — patent pending
  • 04Tracks daily accumulation rate and predicts threshold date
  • 05Auto-books cleaning when threshold reached — no calendar guesswork
  • 06Validates Pro-Vent and VentGuard effectiveness with real data
  • 07Feeds data to Kitchen-IQ for autonomous system management

Beyond expectations.

Kitchen extraction systems are the single greatest fire risk in commercial food environments. Grease builds silently. Cleaning is infrequent, invasive, and expensive. We are the only company delivering a complete, integrated platform — from grease capture at the canopy to robotic cleaning deep in the ductwork, real-time measurement that replaces calendar guesswork, and an autonomous management layer that ties it all together. We don't just meet TR19 and NFPA 96. We go beyond them.

Our Expertise

Deep R&D.
Real-world deployment.

Our expertise spans extraction engineering, robotics, biotechnology, optical sensing, fluid dynamics, and beverage hygiene. We hold patents and patent-pending IP across multiple product lines, develop proprietary algorithms and formulations, and partner with the UK and Ireland's largest hospitality groups.

Innovation

Patented and patent-pending technology developed in-house. From robotic dry ice systems to compound-curve baffle filters to real-time grease sensing — we don't rebrand other people's products.

Integration

Eight products designed to work as one system. Each solves a specific problem. Together, they cover the entire lifecycle — from capture to cleaning to measurement to management.

Partnership

We deploy through the UK's leading vent hygiene specialists. They bring the relationships. We bring the technology.
