A Guide to Commercial Kitchen Grease Filters

Why Grease Filters Matter

In a commercial kitchen, grease filters do a critical job: capturing airborne grease before it enters the ductwork. Without effective grease filtration, grease builds up inside ducts and fans — reducing performance, driving up cleaning costs and creating a serious fire hazard.

Types of Grease Filter

• •Baffle filters — the most common choice, using angled metal baffles to force air to change direction so grease droplets are flung out and drain away. Durable and easy to clean.
• •Honeycomb (mesh) filters — a fine mesh structure that captures grease across a large surface area, suited to lighter-duty applications.
• •Washable metal panels — economical and reusable, suited to a range of kitchens.

We manufacture washable grease filters in 38mm, 45mm and 50mm depths in honeycomb, mesh and baffle styles.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Grease filters should be cleaned regularly — often weekly in busy kitchens — to stay effective and safe. Most metal grease filters can be soaked in hot soapy water or run through a commercial dishwasher. A clogged, grease-laden filter is both a fire risk and a strain on your exhaust fan.

Compliance and Safety

Keeping grease filters clean and in good condition is part of running a safe, compliant kitchen. A well-maintained filtration setup protects your staff, your premises and your insurance position.
