Remove grease, odour and fire risk from exhaust air before they become a problem. As a certified partner of the manufacturer we plan KPC systems and support you beyond commissioning.
Jimco has been developing UV-C systems for commercial kitchens since 1992. The Kitchen Pollution Control system, or KPC, is the only system in the world with EU Environmental Technology Verification. McDonald's, Scandic Hotels and many others have used it for years.
How it works: UV-C light destroys grease particles directly behind the grease filters in the hood. Ozone, naturally produced by the lamps, oxidises the remaining residues in the exhaust duct. The duct stays clean, odours stay in. No filters, no water, no chemicals.
GastroAir is a certified partner of the manufacturer. We are your direct contact for planning and service.
No new chemicals, no combustion. UV-C photolysis and ozone oxidation working together.
The UV-C lamps sit behind the grease filters in the hood. As grease particles pass the lamps, the light destroys their molecular structure. This process is called photolysis.
The same lamps naturally produce ozone. The ozone further oxidises the broken-down fat molecules and decomposes them completely. Whatever remains does not deposit in the duct.
The exhaust duct stays clean. Odours are broken down before the air leaves the building. Kitchens in city centres or residential areas benefit directly.
The steel frame with UV-C lamps is mounted behind the existing grease filters. In confined spaces installation directly above the hood is also possible.
The lamps run for up to 12,000 operating hours. Then we replace them. That is all. No filter changes, no cleaning chemicals, no hazardous waste.
We provide full documentation for fire safety authorities, insurers and internal maintenance plans. As a certified partner we can also provide normative verification.
Any commercial kitchen wanting to reduce grease deposits in the duct or control odours at a sensitive location. The difference is most noticeable in high-grease kitchens.
Jimco A/S is based in Rudkøbing, Denmark and has been developing UV-C technology since 1992. The company supplies customers across multiple continents, including McDonald's, Scandic Hotels and food industry operations.
