What is Kitchen Hood Filter

 

 

Kitchen hood filters are installed over stoves and are designed to capture and remove smoke, grease, and debris to prevent them from getting into the ventilation system. They are usually made from a metal like aluminium or steel, although some can be ceramic or fabric. The three most common types are baffle filter, mesh filter and activated carbon filter. The function of each function is slightly different, but it is to improve air quality. Homes, hospitals, warehouses, and industrial kitchens should make sure to have hood filters for safety and to improve indoor air quality.

 

Features of Kitchen Hood Filter

Effective Operation

Our range hood filters are composed of durable aluminum mesh, activated carbon cotton, and reinforced carbon fiber sheets, which can effectively absorb harmful smoke and grease and remove odors, and ensure air circulation in the kitchen.

High Compatibility

With a smooth and cleaningn finish, they're compact in structure, which makes the filters easy to use with non-ducted range hoods, microwaves, or other appliances that require odor elimination.

Durable

They are made of high-quality materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, charcoal, meet standards certifications such as UL and NFPA, to own a longer average life expectancy of about 18-24 months.

Easy to Clean

These range hood filters have lightweight construction and you simply remove it and place it in a hood filter soaking solution with a commercial degreaser overnight, or clean it in a standard dishwasher cycle.

 

Types of Kitchen Hood Filter

 

Baffle Filters

 

They trap oil and grease that makes it into your kitchen's atmosphere by passing air through a series of interlocking baffles. The oil sticks to the stainless steel or aluminum interior walls of the range hood, usually congealing into a drip tray or similar disposal method. This method of filtration reduces grease buildup within the range hood itself, making the appliance both efficient and durable. In general, you need to clean this type of filter once every two months, but they're the easiest type of range hood filter to clean.

Mesh

 

Mesh filters are similar to baffle filters in that they are made from stainless steel or aluminum. Unlike baffle filters, however, mesh filters are in the form of a series of metal wires that create a filter cloth that traps the smoke, oil, and grease that get into your kitchen's air supply. These are one of the most common types of range hood filter in the United States, but they are prone to grease buildup, which means that you need to clean them regularly, usually every two to three months.

Charcoal

 

Charcoal filters are one of the most convenient ways to filter the air in your kitchen, and because they don't need ductwork, they are the easiest form of range hood to install. They work by drawing contaminated air past one or more filters that are filled with activated charcoal. This charcoal absorbs smoke, grease, and odors, and you can simply throw them into the regular trash once they are spent.

Benefits of Kitchen Hood Filter

Efficient Grease Filtration

Hood filters are perfect for a wide range of kitchen cooking applications and offers some of the most efficient single-state grease filtration you can find. They provide as much as four times the grease capture than standard baffle filters and significantly reduces fats, oils, and grease buildup in your ductwork.
The grease extraction fractional efficiency of our filters is an impressive 90% of grease particles at a mere seven microns in size, and 75% at only five microns in size when tested at the recommended airflow.

Unique Design

The secret to the powerful grease extraction capabilities of the Hood Filter is in its unique design. They have a one-of-a-kind S-shaped baffle design that optimizes the removal and drainage of the larger grease particles.
The narrow S-shaped baffles are closely spaced together in vertical rows and one side. The other side of the filter features a slotted rear baffle design with larger, horizontal baffles that are more spread out. Working together, the two sides deliver exceptionally efficient grease filtration.

Reduced Risk of Fire

One of the best benefits of using Hood Filters is reducing your risk of fire. In addition to helping keep fats, oils, and grease out of your ductwork, exhaust system, and even your roof, the self-draining design also helps reduce fire risk by making sure that any oil or grease that collects on the surface of the filter does not fall back down onto the cooking surface.
Using a hood filter will limit the projection of flames downstream both when the area is exposed to flame on the upstream face as well as in situations where the area is overloaded with grease-rich exhaust. It can even be used as a spark arrestor grease filter for cooking applications with tall flames generated by solid fuel cooking operations. Using a filter minimizes the passage of airborne sparks and embers into plenums and ducts.

Heavy Duty Construction

Hood Filters are constructed of 430 stainless steel, which has excellent corrosion resistance under the harshest of conditions. It also has great resistance to oxidation at elevated temperatures. Offering the best of both worlds, the filter is both strong and lightweight. It is built to handle commercial use and handling. Plus, it has a very attractive and shiny finish that looks great in open kitchen designs.

 

Factors to Consider When Choose Kitchen Hood Filter

Hood filters are the most popular choice for commercial kitchens, as they are durable, easy to clean, and long-lasting. When it comes to how to choose a hood filter, there are several factors to consider.

The Thickness of the Filter

Thicker filters are more durable and have a longer lifespan, but may be more difficult to clean. Thinner filters are easier to clean but may need to be replaced more frequently.

The Spacing between the Filter Wires

The Spacing between the Filter Wires
The spacing will affect the capture rate for grease and smoke. Filters with wider spacing will capture less grease and smoke, while filters with narrower spacing will capture more.

The Type of Material Used in the Filter

High-quality metal will be more durable and resistant to corrosion, which is important in a commercial kitchen environment. With these factors in mind, you can choose a hood filter that will meet the needs of your commercial kitchen and keep your employees and customers safe.

The Reasons of Changing Hood Filters

It is vital that restaurants and commercial kitchens take proper care of their hoods. This is so important because hoods suck out the exhaust and end up trapping grease, which can cause a fire. Changing the filters and regular hood cleaning will help to ensure your kitchen remains safe and clean. There are many reasons to regularly swap out the hood filters in your kitchen. Here are some of the benefits of changing your hood filters.

1

Effective Removal of Smoke: New or clean filters will help smoke pass through the hood easier. When your hood filters get old, they can cause smoke to remain in the kitchen, which can be very dangerous. Without the effective removal of smoke, you can run into all types of issues.

2

Keeps Dirty Oil Out of Food: Your food is your livelihood and it needs to be protected at all costs. When grease from the hoods drips into edible materials, the food will not taste nearly as good and can cause severe health issues. Regular hood cleaning will help, but changing the filters is also necessary.

3

Avoid Grease Build Up: If your filters are not doing the job they are intended to do, you may see grease begin to build up in your kitchen and canopy. This can cause many issues in your kitchen and may even become a fire hazard.

4

Help Keep Fire Out of the Exhaust Duct: Kitchen equipment can catch on fire in seconds. If the filters are clean, you won’t need to worry about fire passing through to the duct system as easily. Filters that are full of grease can effortlessly catch on fire and cause even bigger issues.

5

Avoid Sinks Getting Backed Up: When you try to clean hood filters on your own, it can cause the dishwasher or the sinks to become blocked. The grease will build up in the drains and cause a variety of problems. By exchanging the filters or having someone clean them for you, this won’t be an issue.
