Shepherd Filters - Kitchen Grease Filters
The Ultimate Protection Against Kitchen Grease Build-Up. Install disposable kitchen grease filters if you want to capture up to 98% of airborne grease before it enters the kitchen exhaust system instead of using traditional metal designs that only capture 20 to 40% at best.
How Kitchen Grease Filters Work
Metal kitchen grease filters only stop between 20-40% of airborne grease, allowing the rest to pass through into the hood/canopy, duct and fan. This results in ongoing costly cleans as well as the potential for premature equipment failure.
The Shepherd Filters disposable wool filter media provides the best solution. Capturing up to an impressive 98% of airborne grease before it enters your kitchen exhaust system, Shepherd Filters virtually eliminate the need to clean filter frames in-house or through a filter exchange company. This equates to a cleaner system year-round, saving you time and money as well as reducing your risk of fire.
Kitchen Grease Filters Explained: Restaurant Exhaust Safety
Kitchen grease filters are one of the first lines of defence for restaurant safety. Kitchen grease is highly flammable, therefore replacing and maintaining a restaurant’s grease filters is an important step in reducing the risk of kitchen grease fires.
Most people think of grease as a liquid, but grease can also travel by vapours and smoke. If the exhaust effluent is properly filtered, a large percentage of this grease is removed from the air stream. This not only greatly reduces the amount of grease that will stick to the inside of the kitchen exhaust hood, it also reduces the risk of a grease duct fire and the need for kitchen exhaust cleaning.

Disposable kitchen grease filters capture the grease before it enters the exhaust system. It reduces the grease build-up and risk of fires. Wool is a natural, environmentally biodegradable, fire-retardant material. If alternative filters are installed into kitchens, grease will pass into the exhaust, hood and duct!
