“TASKS” HAVE CHANGED SINCE USING FILTERSHINE
May 16, 2024

Managers that have decided to use FilterShine grease filter exchange program have spoken with us about how “tasks” have changed since using the FilterShine exchange program. In the past, cooks would remove filters two times a week and put them in the 3 compartment sink, fill each sink with hot water and about half a gallon of heavy duty degreaser. The filters would soak over night and they would drain the greasy sink water in the morning and place the filters by the dishwasher area then continue to sanitize the greasy sinks before they could use them to prep frozen food. Dishwasher employee would then run the filters through the dishwasher, two at a time, and when finished, change the water in the dishwasher, so the days dishes do not come out greasy when washed. The cooks would then get on top of the equipment and install the filters in the hood systems. Manager: “absolutely saved money on heavy duty degreaser, all of the labor of removing filters and cleaning sinks and dishwashers”.

Manager: Hood cleaners would come to clean the hood system and they would also clean the filters. However, we would have to remove a filter from the hood system about a week after they had been there. We called the hood cleaning company and they admitted they could only make the filters look better by cleaning the outsides of the filters. Removing that one or two filters to improve the smoke caused a lot of issues with the fire marshal and the suppression system company. The fusible links were getting compacted with grease. When we started using FilterShine grease filter exchange, we saw immediate results on the cook lines. Cook line was noticeably cooler, smoke was going through each filter not just the gap that was made when we had to remove the filters. The suppression company did not complaint about the “fusible links” being completely clogged with grease.
