Colorado Springs's Trusted Hood Filter Cleaning/Replacement
Every kitchen exhaust system in a commercial restaurant needs to have hood filters installed in the range. This is the filter that prevents the grease and grime from contaminating the roof and filling up the kitchen with harmful bacteria and smoke. Not only are these filters needed for fire safety, but they ensure that the kitchen runs smoothly and the taste of the food does not get altered by a room filled with cooking smoke and oil.
Types of Hood Filters
There are two types of hood filters commonly seen in restaurants across Colorado Springs and the United States. And those are stainless steel and aluminium. In most cases, aluminum is a lighter cheaper material that is most effective for those on a budget, although they have to be replaced more often. Different companies manufacture different patters of the grating on the hood filters, but they all perform and function in much the same way. These ridges help trap and capture the grease and hold it in the filter so that it doesn’t slowly fill up the exhaust system and eventually contaminate the roof of the building, causing major damage. Another function of the hood filter is to make sure that the old and grease captured does not fall back into the food being prepared on the stovetop underneath it. The ridges that are designed in the hood filter are intended to be cut and damage proof so that if they are dropped or scrapped they can continue to work. Multi-layer paneling helps the filter to contain the grease on the inside of the hood, so as to not drop any oil on the stove.

Ventilation
|
The filter sits behind the hood and pulls bacteria and allergens out of the air and into itself effectively trapping these toxins and leaving your exhaust system clean and preventing the build-up of grime. If your hood filter has not been cleaned in s while the effectiveness of the trapping of harmful bacteria is highly subdued and will cause your kitchen to fill with thick oily are. This is an unsafe work environment for employees and can cause the foods to taste to change. Once grease and other debris are lodged into the filter, the passageway for the smoke to escape the room is blocked and this can cause a fire hazard in the work area.
