A partition grease filter is the first step in managing commercial kitchen grease and regulating exhaust ventilation. When installed correctly, they can safely protect the exhaust port, prevent flame or flammable debris from entering the pipe, and trap grease vapors and particles, preventing them from building up in the ventilation system.
A variety of materials: These filters are available in a variety of sizes and sizes and can be made of high-quality stainless steel, galvanized steel or aluminum. These standard filters can be welded or riveted, while some specialized filters can be constructed differently to safely and efficiently serve their specific purpose.
Easy disinfection: When you cook on the stove or using other methods, smoke, steam and grease will be released into the air. The filter's interlocking baffles disinfect the air by simultaneously forcing it to flow in two different directions through carefully arranged vertical blades, allowing grease to naturally flow down to designated collection trays within the housing.
This prevents major fire hazards and is required by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the International Fire Code (IFC), and insurance companies, and is strictly enforced by health inspectors and fire chiefs. According to the latest fire code, mesh filters are no longer accepted or allowed, so be sure to find the right size and material for your kitchen's baffle grease filter to meet current standards.
Separator grease filters should be mounted on the exhaust device with no gap or space between them to prevent grease and debris from passing through. It may be helpful to have a local professional test your system and adjust the Settings correctly to avoid setting the exhaust fan too high. This is to prevent your filter from being sucked into the hood.
Cost reduction: While the most important function of partition grease filters is to prevent fires and comply with fire, health, and safety codes, they can also reduce utility costs, kitchen cleanliness, and the exhaust system itself by reducing stress on the motor. It also keeps the air properly filtered and disinfected, resulting in a cooler kitchen and a healthier breathing environment. In addition, it can also eliminate the accumulation of odors and avoid the kitchen from emitting stale odors.
Cleaning matters: These filters can be easily cleaned by hand washing with hot water, soap and a non-abrasive detergent or sponge, or by placing them in the dishwasher or soaking tank using soap or non-corrosive cleaners. Regular cleaning is strongly recommended to prevent accumulation that could start a fire and prevent erosion. The cleaning schedule should be determined according to the usage of the kitchen and may need to be performed weekly or even daily.
