Positioned within the ventilation framework of a commercial kitchen, a kitchen hood filter is usually situated above the stove or cooking equipment. Its primary role involves capturing grease, smoke, and other airborne particles produced during cooking, effectively averting their accumulation in both the kitchen area and the ductwork. Diverse varieties of commercial kitchen hood filters exist, such as baffle filters, mesh filters, and activated charcoal filters.
