Canopy grease filters for a cleaner kitchen

Posted on 16th May 2010 @ 6:54 PM

The right canopy grease filters can make all the difference to your kitchen.
 
Whether you’re installing a canopy over a full-length cooking range in your kitchen or over a cooking island, you need to be sure that it’s going to do its job properly. A commercial kitchen canopy is designed to extract fumes and heat from your kitchen, so you need the best canopy grease filters.
 
Canopy grease filters – the right choice
 
Choosing the right canopy grease filter and then ensuring that it remains clean and well-maintained is important. There are strict standards governing the ventilation of commercial kitchens and these standards are there for a reason: to protect staff, customers and neighbours. Installing the right kitchen ventilation system, including canopy grease filters, will help you to run a clean, comfortable and efficient kitchen. Canopy grease filters usually fall into two main categories:
 
  • Mesh grease filters – fine mesh filters help to trap the grease as air is filtered from the kitchen to the outside of your building. Mesh canopy grease filters need to be cleaned regularly, with a recommended solution, in order to avoid excess grease build-up, which can be a fire hazard. You can replace mesh grease filters easily, although most are made to high standards so that with the right maintenance, they can last for a long time.
 
  • Baffle grease filters – these filters use a different method to trap grease. As the air is extracted from the cooking station, it is forced to change direction several times and at a rapid speed. Whilst the air can cope with these changes, the heavier grease cannot, and is left on the blades of the filter. The grease then drips into specially designed trays which can be emptied and cleaned on a regular basis. For canopy grease filters, many kitchen owners choose baffle filters because they have a reputation for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
