Commercial Fitouts, Commercial Kitchens

Each different type of hospitality fitout requires a different kind of kitchen design. A café maximises functionality in a small space, where an aged-care kitchen needs to focus on volume to make sure none of their patrons goes hungry. With experience in shop fittings, food & hospitality consulting, and targeted industries, we can help optimise your commercial kitchen fitout.

Old Refrigerators Using Too Much Energy

Do you have old refrigerators running? Well, you better go catch them... and replace them with something much more energy efficient. If you have a refrigerator that's over 10-years-old the yearly energy and cost saving could be massive, up to 30-40%¹!

Want To See How Much You Could Save?

We have an interactive calculator that can give you an idea of the energy and cost savings that could be made to your refrigeration system. All the information is taken from the State Government Victoria's 2009 document Energy Efficiency Best Practice Guide to Industrial Refrigeration. Click the button below to be taken there.

Refrigerated Display Cabinets

Commercial display fridges have two simple tasks. One, make sure the inside is a stable temperature, and two, display the contents in an attractive way to potential customers. We have extensive experience making clean, smooth, good looking display fridges that work well. This includes multiple temperature compartments in the same unit, giving extra functionality and a sleek finish. The display fridges are also customisable and can facilitate bain maries, cold plates, remote refrigeration, and more.

Coolrooms and Freezer Rooms

For large-scale hospitality businesses, a coolroom is usually a necessity. However, different fitouts need different sizes. At Brandon Industries, we build to your specifications and design choices. As well as fitting generic kitchen coolrooms, we also fit retailer coolrooms and freezer rooms such as those found in supermarkets. Different combinations of options can be selected to create a versatile commercial coolroom for any fitout.

Coolrooms & Freezer Rooms

Vertical & Horizontal Fridges

Commercial kitchen refrigeration is an important factor. Aside from the previous two types of refrigeration mentioned, there is also the standard kitchen fridges that are found in chef’s kitchens all around Australia. This includes undercounter fridges, large upright refrigerators, and all sorts of different shapes and sizes (well, mostly rectangle, but, there are sometimes variations).

Custom Commercial Refrigeration

Air Filtration Hygiene and Reduced Fire Hazard

In a commercial kitchen, lots of air pollutants are constantly getting sucked up by your kitchen canopy. When it comes to grease and food particles, this high volume of pollutants means an increased fire hazard and a slow degradation of the effectiveness of your ventilation system. To keep your custom stainless steel canopy functioning properly, and maintain adequate airflow and hygiene, the correct filtration system needs to be fitted.

No Moving Parts, Much Less Maintenance

An electrostatic filter uses high voltage to change the charge of airborne particles, and doesn’t add any extra fans or moving parts on top of what is already in the exhaust system. The air is simply pulled through the filter, as it would be through any other length of duct, and the electrostatic precipitator removes the contaminants. This also means that the electrostatic filter system is extremely quiet.

Efficient and Effective Air Filtration

The efficiency of the particular electrostatic filtration systems that we use here at Brandon Industries have been tested, in a USA lab, to be 91-96% efficient for a single pass (and calculated to be 99% efficient for a double pass). Different sized units can be installed for commercial kitchens with different levels of air contaminants and filtration requirements.

How Do Electrostatic Filtration Systems Work?

Electrostatic filtration works by ionising the particles that have been brought into the ventilation ducts from the canopy. This basically means that the charge of these particles is put off balance, and the particle is now either positively or negatively charged. Once this is done, the particles are sent though an appropriately charged collector, to which they are naturally attracted. The result is that the particles are stolen from the air, which is then clean and free to be exhausted out.

Commercial Kitchen Filtration Systems

Commercial Kitchen Design

When it comes to commercial kitchen design, space and flow are two of the most important factors. Obviously, the smaller the kitchen area the more ingenious the design has to be in order to have an effective kitchen that runs smoothly. In a small kitchen, custom made equipment, such as stainless steel benching and other commercial kitchen appliances, needs to be the correct size to ensure the kitchen has a good work flow while keeping functionality. In a large kitchen, custom made equipment can boost productivity and effectiveness by allowing for optimal usage suited for the particular commercial kitchen fitout.

Commercial Kitchen Layout

The commercial kitchen layout is best done by an experienced kitchen design consultant. At Brandon Industries, we design, fabricate, and install custom stainless steel equipment right here in Melbourne, and right across Australia. Whether you are undertaking a commercial kitchen renovation, or building a brand new kitchen, we can offer professional kitchen design. From the floor-plan to the individual refrigeration, benching, shelving, and much more, we configure the equipment and fitout to your specific kitchen fitout ideas.

For bigger kitchens, we offer custom coolroom and freezerroom design and installation. We also make stylish refrigerated display cabinets and under-counter refrigeration as well as stainless steel canopies and ventilation with specialised UV filters / electrostatic filters.

Stainless Steel Design

Commercial Kitchen Filter Systems

Commercial kitchens produce a lot of steam, odour, fumes, fine grease, gasses, and plenty of other airborne chemicals. Because of this, proper air treatment is vital for an efficient, safe, and hygienic kitchen. The first step may be to design a custom stainless steel canopy, but this is only part of the solution. Having the appropriate air filter system is vital to the effectiveness of the unit. There are a few options, and we will be looking at one of them: UV filters.

Photolysis

Ultraviolet filtration systems improve the effectiveness of commercial kitchen canopies, resulting in better kitchen hygiene and an improved kitchen environment. By treating the airborne chemicals gathered by the range-hood with UV light, the collected organic material is broken down and becomes much easier and efficient to dispose of. This process of decomposition by light, known as photolysis, means reduced grease and odour build-up, which in turn means greater component life, a large reduction to fire hazards, and a much more relaxed cleaning schedule.

Ozone

Another way UV filters break down grease and other contaminants is through the creation of ozone. This powerful gas is composed of molecules made up of three oxygen atoms. This configuration is not particularly stable, and the molecules are ready to alter their composition with whatever else is available—in our case, this is the intake from the kitchen canopy. When grease is altered by ozone, it becomes modified in such a way that it will not easily stick to ductwork and fans. This greatly reduces the risk of fires.

Benefits

Rather than simply trapping grease and airborne oils, a UV filtration system actively breaks down these unwanted potential-contaminants into non-odorous, easy-to-clean ash. This means a greatly reduced chance of having to maintain greasy ductwork, as well as an easier clean when it's time to wipe down the UV lights. This also means that exhaust air is that much cleaner.
