What Problem This Filter Solves
In every commercial kitchen hood, there are two things the exhaust system must deal with every day: oil-laden fumes and frequent cleaning. Our stainless steel mesh grease filters are built exactly for this job.
They sit in the hood opening or in the first stage of the exhaust line, intercepting grease droplets and oil mist before they enter the duct. By doing that, they help:
•Slow down grease build-up in ducts and on fans
•Support fire-safety practices and local code requirements
•Make daily cleaning more manageable for restaurant staff
Most of these filters are supplied to kitchen hood manufacturers, metal fabricators, installation contractors and food industry end users who need a washable, all-stainless grease filter that can survive years of handling and detergent washing.
Typical Uses & System Types
We normally see these stainless steel mesh grease filters used in:
•Restaurant and hotel kitchen hoods – wall-mounted or island type exhaust hoods over cooking lines
•Central kitchens and catering facilities – large canteens, airline catering, cloud kitchens
•Industrial cooking and baking lines – fryers, ovens and roasting lines with integrated exhaust hoods
•OEM kitchen equipment – small hood modules or compact exhaust units built into appliances
If you are working on any of these systems and want a filter that can handle regular washing without deforming or rusting, this product line is what we propose first.

If you already have an existing hood opening or old baffle filter size, we can match the same outer dimensions so the new filters drop into the current frame.
Options & Customisation for Projects and OEM
Every hood design is slightly different, so we treat size and details as project data rather than fixed catalogue items. When you send an enquiry, we usually confirm:
•Width × height of the hood opening and available thickness
•Required frame style (flat frame, box frame, frame with handles or hooks)
•Grade of stainless steel (304 standard, 201 optional)
•Any specific corner style or gasket requirement
On this basis we can:
•Match an existing baffle or mesh filter one-to-one, or
•Suggest a new size and fixing method if you are designing a hood from scratch
For OEM orders, we keep drawings and specifications on file, so that every repeat order follows the same standard without re-discussing details each time.
Certificates
This stainless steel mesh grease filter is supported by key certifications that are often required for international projects and equipment exports:
✅ Confirms safety and conformity with relevant European directives for metal mesh HVAC and grease filters.
✅ Ensures the product meets regulations for restricted substances, supporting environmentally conscious projects.
✅Demonstrates that design, production, and inspection processes are managed under a recognized quality framework.
These certificates are useful for kitchen equipment manufacturers, system integrators and contractors who need documented compliance for tenders or third-party inspections.
Cleaning, Handling & Custom Options
Cleaning, Handling & Custom Options
These stainless steel mesh grease filters are built to fit into everyday work, not just look good on paper. They have to be easy to wash, easy to swap, and sized correctly for each hood so staff can handle them without trouble during busy service.
Cleaning methods & rotation
In daily use, most customers clean the filters by hand with hot water and detergent, in a soak tank, or in a commercial dishwasher. Many busy kitchens keep two sets of filters per hood so that one set can be in the wash cycle while the other stays in service, keeping the exhaust line protected at all times. The all-stainless construction is chosen to cope well with common alkaline kitchen detergents; we only advise avoiding aggressive acids that are not recommended for stainless steel surfaces.
Project-based sizing instead of fixed catalogue
Because every hood design is slightly different, we treat size and details as project data rather than fixed catalogue items. When you send an enquiry, we usually confirm the width, height and available thickness of the hood opening, the preferred frame style (flat frame, box frame, handles or hooks), and the stainless-steel grade you want to use.
OEM drawing control & repeat orders
On this basis, we can either match an existing baffle or mesh filter one-to-one, or suggest a new size and fixing method if you are designing a hood from scratch. For OEM customers, once a drawing and specification are agreed, we keep them on file so that repeat orders follow the same standard without extra back-and-forth, and the filters continue to fit smoothly into your established cleaning and replacement routine.
Global Exhibitions
Our factory in Xiamen focuses on HVAC filters and metal filter elements, and these stainless steel mesh grease filters are one of the regular lines we run. For buyers that need ongoing supply, we usually:
•Start with a sample lot for one hood size or one kitchen line
•Confirm fit, ease of cleaning and basic pressure drop on site
•Fix the specification (mesh combination, frame thickness, handles, labels)
•Move to regular batch production, with clear lead times and packaging plans
We can pack by project, by site or by hood type, and label cartons accordingly, which helps installers and kitchen managers to distribute filters quickly when a shipment arrives.
If your project files require it, we can also provide ISO-based quality system documents and basic material statements for the stainless steel used in the filters.
Packaging & Shippiing
Each filter is packed securely to prevent damage during transport. Depending on the product size and order configuration, filters are placed in strong cartons or wooden boxes, with optional inner plastic bags for additional protection. For international shipments, multiple logistics modes are available, including sea freight, air freight, and express services, according to the urgency and budget of the order.
For OEM clients and distributors, customized labels and barcodes can be applied to the packaging to support warehouse management and resale. This makes it easier to integrate the filters into existing inventory systems and distribution channels.
FAQ – Stainless Steel Grease Filters
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should these filters be cleaned?
+
-
In most restaurants, filters are cleaned every day or every few days, depending on how heavy the cooking load is. For very busy kitchens, rotating two sets of filters is often the most practical arrangement.
Can they be used to replace existing aluminum baffle filters?
+
-
In many cases yes, as long as we match the outer dimensions and fixing points. The airflow pattern will be slightly different from baffle types, so we recommend checking fan allowance and local fire-safety guidance when changing designs.
Are they suitable for dishwashers?
+
-
Yes. The all-stainless construction is chosen with commercial dishwashers in mind. After washing, filters should be allowed to drain and dry before being put back into the hood.
Can you add our logo or part numbers?
+
-
For OEM and chain projects we can mark frames, add labels or customise outer cartons with your codes, so that spare parts management is easier at each site.
