Grease Extraction
Grease is removed from the exhaust air by combination of the Gaylord Model XGS Extractors and the UV
Lamps (Refer to Figure 2-10-1). The hot contaminate-laden air rising from the cooking surface enters the
inlet slot, turns and is drawn through the Extractors where a high percentage of the grease and other par-
ticulate are extracted from the airstream. As the air enters the Plenum chamber, the grease particles are
exposed to the ultraviolet light which oxidizes the particles into a light gray powder which are deposited on
the Lamps, the Plenum chamber and in the exhaust duct. Some powder may exhaust out the exhaust fan.
The extracted liquid grease will drain down the Extractors and into the Grease Canal which then drains down
into the Grease Gutter. The sticky grease will remain in the Extractors. The Extractors, Grease Canal and
Grease Gutter are power washed periodically, while the exhaust fan is on, by the automatic Extractor Wash
Cycle. The UV Lamps are also washed periodically during a Plenum Wash Cycle. Refer to page 2-11 for de-
tails on the Wash Cycles.
The Gaylord Industries Model XGS Extractor is designed to deliver the absolute optimum in collection ef-
ficiency at the lowest possible pressure drop. The Extractors are ETL Recognized as part of the ELXC-UVi
Ventilator. They are constructed of corrosion resistant stainless steel.
