Hood filters are a key element to commercial kitchens. They not only capture and remove grease, smoke, and miscellaneous debris from getting into your kitchen’s ventilation system, but also help in lowering maintenance costs. With proper hood filter use, hood cleaning requirements may go down by up to 75% a year. Hood filters play an important role in safety and are the smart choice for successful commercial kitchens. They help with:
- Healthy air quality
- Ventilation system protection
- Fire protection
Hoods without filters need to be regularly and properly maintained. This includes costly cleanings. Dirty hood baffles mean an unsafe kitchen environment. The typical baffle only captures about 18% of grease and requires almost daily cleaning in a high volume kitchen environment. This also means that ducts and hoods require a set maintenance cleaning schedule every 3 months or sooner to remove all the grease and debris that is not captured by the Baffle.
Labor Savings
Hood baffle cleaning takes time…and time is money in a busy kitchen. With use of a filter, maintenance time is reduced by 5 times! Simply remove the dirty filter and replace it with a clean one. That’s it. Instead of cleaning the baffles every 1-2 days, they may need to be quickly rinsed every couple weeks. Cleaning options are:
· Dishwasher with gentle dishwashing soap
· Hand wash with hot wash, soap, and a non-abrasive cleaning tool
Always ensure that harsh chemicals are avoided as that can cause a whole other set of issues for your kitchen.
