Filters for commercial range hoods

How to choose a filter for a commercial range hood

The right filter for a commercial range hood depends on its purpose, dimensions and the ventilation system. Grease filters are installed in the range hood to capture some of the grease present in the extracted air, while activated carbon is used to reduce cooking odours.

Stainless steel grease filters for commercial range hoods

A stainless steel grease filter is particularly suitable for range hoods in restaurants, takeaways and other commercial kitchens. Washable and reusable, it should be cleaned regularly to prevent excessive grease build-up.

Before ordering, check the filter dimensions and mounting system. We offer several sizes for replacing or adding filters to your range hood.

Filters and activated carbon for odour filter boxes

In an activated carbon odour filter box, the air first passes through a pre-filter designed to capture grease before passing through the activated carbon, which helps reduce cooking odours.

Unlike the washable stainless steel filters in the range hood, the filters and activated carbon in the odour filter box are consumable items. In commercial use, replacement is generally recommended every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage intensity, the type of cooking and the amount of grease and odours being treated.

How to maintain commercial range hood filters

Stainless steel grease filters should be cleaned regularly according to the level of kitchen activity. Frequent cleaning helps prevent excessive grease build-up in the filters and extraction ductwork.

For an odour filter box, the pre-filter should also be checked regularly. A filter heavily loaded with grease can reduce system performance and prematurely saturate the activated carbon.
