All major commercial kitchens are required to have an extractor system in place for the commercial cooking equipment such as ranges, griddles, and fryers. As we know, these extractor hoods are designed to remove steam, heat, smoke, fumes, and dirty air.
However, the air in all commercial kitchens is filled with bits of grease and food residue that can clog up the ductwork in the hood system if not filtered properly. Ensuring you choose the correct extractor filter for your commercial kitchen will keep your exhaust hood working and ensure clean commercial kitchen air. When it comes to your commercial extractor installation, you need to ensure you have the correct extractor filter installed according to the cooking volume of your commercial kitchen.
What is a baffle grease filter?
Baffle grease filters are installed to manage commercial kitchen grease and regulate exhaust ventilation and are generally made of stainless steel. Baffle grease filters safely guard the exhaust vents to keep flames or flammable debris from entering the ducts, and they capture grease vapours and particles to prevent them from building up in the ventilation system.
Baffle grease filters come in a variety of different sizes and dimensions. These filters help to force grease-saturated air to change direction quickly and repeatedly as it rises through the filter. Because the grease droplets are unable to change direction as rapidly as the air carrying them, they condense on the metal blades and then drain into the filter. When the grease is filtered into a tray, it ensures that there is no build-up which can easily hinder airflow and the overall functioning of the filter over time. Interlocking blades in this style of a baffle grease filter also act as a flame barrier by restricting the direct path of flames to the duct system behind the filter.
