Commercial Baffle Filters
Baffle filters are the gold standard for commercial kitchen grease filtration, featuring stainless steel construction with precisely engineered baffles that effectively separate grease from exhaust air. Unlike traditional mesh filters, baffle filters use centrifugal force and directional changes to capture grease while maintaining optimal airflow.
Baffle Filter Features:
- Stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
- Multi-stage baffle design for superior grease capture efficiency
- Self-draining design that channels grease to collection areas
- Dishwasher-safe construction for easy cleaning and maintenance
- Fire-resistant materials meeting UL and NFPA safety standards
Key Benefits:
- Superior grease capture – Up to 95% grease removal efficiency
- Maintains consistent airflow – No clogging like mesh filters
- Reduces fire hazards – Prevents grease accumulation in ductwork
- Lower maintenance costs – Longer service life than disposable filters
- Easy cleaning process – Dishwasher-safe for routine maintenance
- Code compliance – Meets NFPA 96 requirements for commercial kitchens
Ideal Applications:
- High-volume restaurant kitchens
- Hotel and institutional food service
- Fast-food and quick-service restaurants
- Catering and food truck operations
- Any commercial kitchen with heavy grease production
Spark Arrestor Filters
Spark arrestor filters are specialized safety devices designed to prevent sparks, embers, and flames from entering exhaust ductwork. These filters are essential for kitchens using solid fuel cooking equipment, charbroilers, wood-fired ovens, or any high-temperature cooking processes that may generate sparks.
Spark Arrestor Filter Features:
- Heavy-duty stainless steel mesh designed to trap sparks and embers
- Heat-resistant construction withstands extreme temperatures
- Dual-function design captures both sparks and grease particles
- Robust frame construction for secure mounting and durability
- Easy-access design for cleaning and maintenance
Key Benefits:
- Fire prevention – Blocks sparks from igniting grease in ductwork
- Multi-layer protection – Captures particles of various sizes
- High temperature tolerance – Performs reliably in extreme heat
- Regulatory compliance – Meets fire safety code requirements
- Dual filtration – Removes both sparks and grease particles
- Durable construction – Long service life in demanding environments
Essential Applications:
- Restaurants with charbroilers or wood-fired equipment
- Barbecue restaurants and smokehouse operations
- Pizza kitchens with wood or coal-fired ovens
- Steakhouses with high-temperature grilling equipment
- Any kitchen using solid fuel or open-flame cooking methods

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between baffle filters and spark arrestor filters?
Baffle filters are designed primarily for grease capture using stainless steel baffles that separate grease from exhaust air. Spark arrestor filters specifically prevent sparks and embers from entering ductwork, essential for kitchens using solid fuel or high-temperature cooking equipment. Many kitchens need both types for complete protection.
How often should I replace my baffle filters?
Quality baffle filters don’t typically need replacement – they can be cleaned regularly and reused for many years. Replacement is only necessary when filters become damaged, warped, or worn beyond effective cleaning. With proper maintenance, commercial baffle filters can last 5-10 years or more.
Do I need spark arrestor filters if I only use gas equipment?
Spark arrestor filters are primarily required for solid fuel equipment (wood, charcoal) or high-temperature operations that may generate sparks. Standard gas cooking equipment typically doesn’t require spark arrestors, though local fire codes may have specific requirements based on your equipment and operations.
Can I clean these filters myself?
Baffle filters are dishwasher-safe and can be cleaned by kitchen staff as part of regular maintenance. However, spark arrestor filters require more careful cleaning to maintain their effectiveness. We recommend professional cleaning services to ensure filters continue to perform properly and meet safety standards.
How do I know what size filters I need?
Filter sizing depends on your specific hood dimensions and exhaust system configuration. Our technicians provide free assessments to measure your equipment and recommend the proper filter sizes and types for optimal performance and code compliance.
Are these filters required by law?
NFPA 96 fire safety codes require appropriate filtration for commercial cooking operations. Baffle filters are typically required for grease capture, while spark arrestor filters are mandated for specific equipment types. Local fire codes may have additional requirements based on your location and operations.
What happens if my filters fail inspection?
Filter-related inspection failures typically involve missing filters, damaged components, or non-compliant installations. We provide emergency filter replacement services to quickly resolve compliance issues and can work with fire departments to ensure your system meets all requirements.
Do you provide filters for residential range hoods?
Our focus is specifically on commercial-grade baffle filters and spark arrestor filters for commercial kitchen applications. These heavy-duty filters are designed for high-volume commercial operations and may not be appropriate for residential use.
Can I use regular mesh filters instead of baffle filters?
While mesh filters cost less initially, baffle filters provide superior grease capture, better airflow maintenance, and longer service life. For commercial operations, baffle filters are typically required by code and provide better long-term value and safety performance.
How quickly can you provide replacement filters?
We maintain inventory of common filter sizes and can often provide same-day or next-day service for standard replacements. Custom-sized filters may require 3-5 business days for fabrication and delivery. Emergency replacement services are available for urgent compliance needs.
