In 2026, Commercial Hood Degreasing is the first line of defense in kitchen fire safety and environmental compliance. Under the BOMBA (Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia) standards and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) 2024, the hood is recognized as the "primary collector" of flammable grease. For F&B outlets in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, maintaining a grease-free hood is essential to prevent flash fires and to support a 5-Star Energy Intensity Label.
At EKG M&E Sdn Bhd, we apply 34 years of mechanical engineering expertise to provide specialized degreasing. We restore your extraction point to a Bare-Metal finish, ensuring your kitchen "breathes" efficiently while maintaining a 5-Star BEI.
The kitchen hood is located directly above the heat source. Without regular degreasing, the accumulated grease becomes a high-octane fuel sitting just inches from an open flame.
Fire Propagation Prevention: Most kitchen fires start on the cooking surface and ignite the grease in the hood plenum. Professional degreasing breaks this "Fire Chain," ensuring that a small flare-up doesn't turn into a building-wide disaster.
Maximizing Extraction Efficiency: Grease-clogged filters and internal hood surfaces create "Skin Friction," which disrupts laminar airflow. By restoring the smooth metal surface, we lower the static pressure, allowing your Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to maintain capture velocity at lower motor speeds.
Condensation Control: In Malaysia’s high humidity, a grease-laden hood acts as a magnet for moisture. This leads to "Grease Dripping," where contaminated oil can fall back into food, violating DOSH 2026 and local health council standards.
Our process is designed to reach the "Invisibles" where standard cleaning fails:
We utilize heated soaking tanks with industrial-grade, food-safe alkaline degreasers to strip filters back to their original state. This ensures the centrifugal force required to "sling" grease out of the airstream is maximized, protecting the downstream ductwork.
The "Plenum" is the box behind the filters. This is where the highest volume of grease accumulates. We utilize high-pressure steam (80°C - 90°C) and manual scraping to achieve a residue-free finish.
We ensure that the grease collection troughs and drainage points are completely clear. This prevents pooled grease from becoming a breeding ground for bacteria and pests, satisfying DOSH 2026 health audits.

Annual Fire Certificate (FC) Security: BOMBA inspectors specifically check the "Plenum Zone" behind the filters. We provide the certified service logs and timestamped photos that prove your system is maintained to MS 1472 standards.
Lowering TNB Maximum Demand: By smoothing the air path at the entry point (the hood), we reduce the overall load on your exhaust fans. This flattens your building’s energy profile and reduces the peak power charges that penalize inefficient infrastructure.
IAQ & Bio-Security (DOSH 2026): Our process removes the organic matter that causes rancid odors. This ensures your facility stays below the legal 500 cfu/m³ bacterial ceiling, protecting your brand reputation and occupant health.
34 Years of Engineering Depth: Based in KL, we understand the mechanical forensics of fire safety. We don't just "clean"; we restore the integrity of your extraction system.
Turnkey Maintenance Management: We schedule our work during your off-hours to ensure zero disruption to your business operations.
Digital Twin Ready: We can integrate your hood maintenance records into your building's 3D digital twin, providing your facility managers with real-time visibility of your safety compliance.
