Greasers - Interesting Reading For You Guys ?

There is a problem with that, due to one of the clauses in NFPA 96: system shall not be coated with powders or any other substance
 
I wont tell if you wont tell :rolleyes:
Oh well, what do I know about hood cleaning.
Other then I feel a kind of kinship with you Greasers.
Greasers and Roof Cleaners clean chemically :)
Looking at ways to make the greasers cleaning chemicals better too.
Maybe take a tip from Draino, since you guys both use Potassium and Sodium Hydroxide ?
Mix some aluminum shavings in there and spray, LOL
The aliminum particles HEAT the Hydroxide up, unclogs drains faster.
Maybe do the same in duct before the fire starts :eek: :confused: :eek:

LOL​
 
A lot of the greasers I know mix their PH & SH on site, so it is plenty hot when applied. Also, the aluminum shavings would create a problem when spraying.

"There once was a Greaser name Jake,
He cleaned with microscopic aluminum flake,
He said with a grin, as he wiped of his skin,
This duct is an OVEN I make :eek:

I LOVE "challenges" Mr Bunn, so maybe we need to find a way to heat up the mix more, or kick it in the azz ?
 
METHOD OF PREVENTING GREASE BUILDUP IN DUCTWORK

Technical Field This invention relates to a method for preventing the adherence and ultimate buildup of grease and other grime in vent hoods and exhaust vent ductwork.

In particular, this invention is useful in preventing the buildup of grease and grime and facilitating in the removal of grease and grime from exhaust vent hoods as are commonly used in commercial and institutional kitchens. In commercial and institutional kitchens, it is necessary to vent fumes, smoke, etc., which are generated during the cooking process. Associated with these fumes an smoke are elements of grease and grime which are airborne solids or are volatilized until they contact the relatively colder surfaces of the hoods and vents. Also, certain amounts of grease and grime are also carried along as finel suspended particulate matter in smoke, etc.

Vent hoods and the associated ducts and fans must be kept clean or otherwise grease and grime which accumulates therein can buildup, increasing the danger of grease fires which can start in the hoods and vent ducts.

The cleaning out of these hoods and vent ducts is a difficult and laborious process, often requiring the physic scraping of the hoods and ductwork to remove the baked-on grease and associated grime or the use of very caustic materials along with high pressure power washing systems.

Summary of the Invention This invention relates to a method of preventing the buildup and associated grime in vent hoods and the associate ductwork by coating the ductwork and vent hoods with a thin film of a removable non-hygroscopic coating which also is repellent to the adherence of grease and which enables the vent hood and duct work to be cleaned using much less effor in some cases as simply as using an alkaline cleaner in a spray bottle with a wiping cloth.

Summary Disclosure of Invention The present invention relates to a method of preventing the buildup of grease and grime from vent hoods and ductwork

Interesting ,
 
Yeah,,I thought so.
I see a possibility that IF you could get something like this to work, you mmay be able to put the smackdown on your competitors. in a long term cleaning contract situation ?
From what I read, you clean the duck, then apply this stuff, and grease slides off ?

Man, talk about a competitive advantage :eek:

That patent is 15 years old and it was file by SC Johnson. If it worked it would already be in use.

Matt, I know NOTHING about you Greasers, except I like you guys :)
It was interesting reading for me, and I think if it works, it is a good idea ?
Just trying to pass it on, in case some of you hadn;t already seen it.

Seems to me it should be possible to coat the ducts with SOMETHING that is ONLY soluble with special chemicals ?
Then, when you HIT the duct with this "special foam" the "grease barrier" dissolves, and out comes the grease, easily ?
Just thinking out loud Matt :)
 
Apple, you're cruel.


You know greasers can't read!
:D

Heck they can't Thad, it's ME that cant read.
TWO Greasers have KINDLY told me you can't do what the patent proposes.
The ONLY reason they are TOLERATING me is because they know I mean well :)
 
SC Johnson makes a brand called Edge Shave Gel - I would bet $10 bucks that this product have similar ingredients.

"Fire Regulations" MAY prevent it from being applied to anyones face :eek:

Roger, who had the grease police logo made ?
Do you know where they got it ?
I am working on testing and certifying roof cleaners, and would like to get a cool looking logo made, like you guys have.
