Kitchen Canopy Baffle Grease Filter arespecifically designed for use in commercial kitchen ventilation systems to remove grease from the air and act as a fire barrier. They are constructed with interlocking baffles that force grease-laden air to change direction, causing grease particles to condense on the baffles and drain away. This design helps to prevent grease buildup in the ventilation system and reduce the risk of fire. Solid construction throughout makes the filter ideal for many commercial extraction systems. 

About this item:

Functionality:

Grease Removal: Baffle filters work by changing the direction of airflow, causing grease particles to impact on the filter's vanes and drain away. 

Fire Barrier: The design of baffle filters also provides a flame barrier, preventing flames from spreading through the ventilation system. 

Airflow: Baffle filters can impact airflow, potentially requiring a more powerful fan to maintain adequate ventilation. 

Materials and Construction:

Baffles: Typically made from stainless steel or aluminum, these are angled or curved metal plates that create the tortuous path for airflow. 

Frame: The baffles are usually housed within a frame, often made of the same material, to create a complete filter unit. 

Types: 

Aluminum: Lighter and more economical, suitable for various applications. 

Stainless Steel: More durable, resistant to corrosion, and often preferred for its aesthetic appeal and dishwasher safety. 

Cleaning and Maintenance:

Regular Cleaning: Baffle filters need regular cleaning to remove accumulated grease and maintain optimal performance.

Cleaning Methods: Cleaning can be done with dishwashers, soaking, or by using specialized degreasers. 

Advantages: 

Effective Grease Removal: Efficiently removes grease from the airflow. 

Fire Safety: Provides a fire barrier, enhancing safety in commercial kitchens. 

Durability: Stainless steel options are highly durable and long-lasting. 

Disadvantages:

Potential for Increased Pressure Drop: Baffle filters can cause a higher pressure drop than some other filter types, requiring more powerful fans.
