Filtration For Commercial Kitchens

Air filtration plays a critical role in commercial kitchen ventilation, helping to manage grease, smoke, odours and airborne pollutants produced during cooking. Effective commercial kitchen filtration is essential across a wide range of environments, including restaurants, takeaways, dark kitchens, hotels, canteens and food production facilities, where extract systems must operate safely, efficiently and in line with regulatory expectations.

A variety of filtration technologies can be combined to suit different cooking methods and intensities. Electrostatic precipitators (ESP) are commonly used to remove grease and fine particulates, while carbon filters are applied for odour. Pre-filters and mechanical filters are often installed upstream to protect equipment and improve overall system performance by extending service intervals.

Commercial kitchen filtration systems can be supplied in standard formats or configured as bespoke solutions to suit available space, extract layouts and performance requirements. Our team can help assess cooking style, airflow and site constraints to recommend the most appropriate filtration strategy for your kitchen operation.

Why Filtration Matters in Commercial Kitchens

Effective filtration is essential for fire safety, hygiene, and maintaining compliant kitchen extraction systems.

Image

Reduces fire risk

Captures grease at source to prevent build-up in ductwork and lower fire loading.

Improves hygiene standards

Limits grease and particulate spread, supporting cleaner, safer kitchen environments.

Maintains compliant airflow

Protects fans, sustains extraction rates, and improves downstream odour-control performance.
