Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is a proactive approach to maintaining equipment and systems to prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.

In commercial kitchens, PPM ensures that vital equipment like extractor fans, refrigeration units, and cooking appliances are regularly inspected, cleaned, and serviced to operate efficiently and safely.

By scheduling routine maintenance, businesses can extend the lifespan of their equipment, reduce the risk of sudden failures, and comply with health and safety regulations. PPM not only improves operational reliability but also helps avoid downtime, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted workflow in the kitchen.
