Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Anchor & Crown', a busy gastropub in Whitby, were struggling with their old mesh filters which needed constant, laborious hand-washing and  were never truly clean. They upgraded to a full set of these stainless steel baffle filters to improve efficiency and  safety.

"Honestly, the difference is night and  day. We just rotate them out and  stick them in the dishwasher at the end of the night. The canopy performs better, and  it’s one less headache for the team."

Michael Davies – Head Chef

The switch has saved their kitchen porters around 30 minutes of cleaning time each day and  noticeably improved the airflow in the kitchen.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Measure Twice: Before ordering, double-check the height and  width of your existing filters to ensure a perfect fit.
  • Check the Orientation: Make sure the grease drainholes are at the bottom when you slot it in, allowing gravity to do its job.
  • Seat It Securely: The filter should sit snugly in the canopy housing with no large gaps around the edges.
  • Empty the Trough: Ensure your canopy's grease collection trough is empty and  clean before fitting the new filter.

Keeping It Going

  • Daily Visual Checks: A quick look at the start of service will tell you if a clean is needed.
  • Regular Cleaning: Depending on use, clean filters daily or weekly to maintain performance and  fire safety.
  • Dishwasher Power: For best results, place them in a commercial dishwasher. A good degreaser can be used for stubborn build-up.
  • Inspect the Holes: After cleaning, make sure the small drainholes are clear of any debris for them to work effectively.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Canopy Filter

Not sure what to look for? Here are a few tips to help you pick the right filter for your kitchen's extraction system.

Measure Your Space

The most important step! Measure your existing filter's height and  width carefully. An ill-fitting filter will let greasy air escape, defeating the purpose.

Baffle vs. Mesh

For most commercial kitchens, baffle filters are the standard. They are more efficient at grease removal, more fire-resistant, and  far easier to clean than old-style mesh filters.

Material Matters

Stainless steel is the go-to material. It’s durable, corrosion-resistant, can handle high heat, and  is simple to keep hygienically clean, meeting food safety standards.

Consider the Clean

Look for features that make life easier. Handles are a must for safe removal, and  being dishwasher safe will save your team a huge amount of time and  effort.

Safety First

A good filter is a key part of your fire suppression system. A solid, flame-proof baffle filter helps prevent flames from travelling into the ductwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often should I clean this commercial kitchen extractor filter?

A: This depends on your cooking style. For heavy use like frying and  grilling, a daily clean is recommended. For lighter use, 2-3 times a week might be sufficient.

Q: Are these baffle filters better than the mesh ones?

A: Absolutely. Stainless steel baffle filters are more durable, more effective at trapping grease, and  significantly easier to clean than mesh filters, making them the industry standard.

Q: How do I measure correctly for a replacement?

A: Remove your current filter and  measure its height and  width in millimetres. The height is usually the vertical side with the drain holes.

Q: Are they easy to install?

A: Yes, very. They are designed to be interchangeable. The handles make it easy to simply lift the old one out and  slot the new one in.

Q: Will this fit my canopy?

A: This 400x500mm filter is a standard size designed to fit most commercial canopies, but it's always best to measure your existing filter first to be certain.

Q: Can I put this in my dishwasher?

A: Yes, it is fully dishwasher safe, which is the recommended method for a thorough and  easy clean.

Q: Do the handles get hot?

A: The filter itself will get hot during operation. Always allow the system to cool down or use protective gloves before handling the filters.

Q: What are the drain holes for?

A: They allow the captured grease to drain from the filter into a collection channel in your canopy, preventing build-up and  dripping.

The Secret to Less Mess: How Grease Drainholes Work

Ever wondered how a baffle filter actually catches grease? It's not a sieve. Instead, the curved metal baffles force the greasy air to change direction sharply. As the air whips around the corner, the heavier grease particles can't keep up; they slam into the metal and  stick. The magic of the drainholes is what happens next. Think of them like gutters on a roof during a storm. Instead of letting the collected 'rain' (grease) build up and  overflow, these small holes channel it all away into a collection tray. This stops the filter from getting clogged and, more importantly, prevents dirty grease from dripping back onto your cooking surfaces. It’s a simple but brilliant system for a cleaner, safer kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs

    Perfect for keeping the air clear and  safe above grills and  fryers during a busy service.

  • Fish & Chip Shops

    An essential upgrade to manage the high volume of grease produced from constant deep-frying.

  • Takeaway Kitchens

    A must-have for Indian, Chinese, or kebab takeaways to maintain an efficient extraction system.

    Ensures compliance with health and  safety standards in schools, hospitals, and  office canteens.
