Types of Filters for Hoods - Ensuring Optimal Performance and Clean Air
There are several types of filters for hoods, each designed to serve a specific purpose:
- Grease filters: Grease filters, usually made from aluminium, stainless steel, or mesh, capture airborne grease particles during cooking. They are washable and should be cleaned regularly to maintain the efficiency of your hood.
- Charcoal or carbon filters: Charcoal or carbon filters are used in recirculating hoods to removing odours, smoke, and cooking fumes from the air before it is recirculated back into the kitchen. These filters need to be replaced periodically, depending on the usage and manufacturer's recommendations.
- Baffle filters: Baffle filters are commonly found in professional or commercial-grade hoods. They are made from stainless steel and are designed to force grease-laden air through a series of baffles, causing the grease to condense and collect in a tray. Baffle filters are dishwasher safe and require regular cleaning.
By selecting the appropriate filters for your hood and maintaining them properly, you can ensure the optimal performance of your kitchen ventilation system, contributing to a clean, fresh, and enjoyable cooking environment.
