About to have your kitchen exhaust system cleaned?
Easy Install and Maintenance
Shepherd filters are easily installed on the face of a regular metal baffle filter, where it is positioned to capture up to 98% of the airborne grease that wool so naturally absorbs. Our Shepherd Filters kitchen exhaust experts and distributors initially install the system and then work with you by training your team on how to replace filters once due.
Replacing the wool filters is a quick and easy process that can be done in-house by employees, a dramatically easier process when compared to taking apart an exhaust hood to clean grease build-up.
Save Time and Money
Shepherd Filters offer restaurants and foodservice professionals an environmentally-friendly alternative to costly kitchen exhaust system cleaning. Made from 100% wool, these naturally fire retardant disposable filters keep the kitchen exhaust system virtually grease-free year-round.
The grease capturing capability of the disposable kitchen grease filter can save restaurants time and money on costly cleaning and maintenance of kitchen exhaust systems. With virtually no grease entering the exhaust extraction system, the result is a substantial reduction in grease build-up, leading to significant savings when it comes to duct cleans, roof maintenance and repairs.
Fire Safety
Grease build-up due to sub-standard, infrequent, incomplete or inaccessible cleaning of the kitchen exhaust system can lead to fires, loss of income and/or the rejection of insurance claims. Many restaurants never recover, resulting in restaurant closure. Shepherd Filters serve as a fire prevention mechanism, as not only do the wool fibres trap the grease that can cause a fire, the fibres can also prevent the spread of one. Wool smoulders and chars in flames and is naturally a self-extinguishing fibre.
Aside from reducing maintenance, repair, labour and cleaning costs significantly, you will therefore also be mitigating your risk of fire.
Tested
Shepherd Filters are HACCP Australian Food Safety Approved and meet all relevant approvals and standards worldwide. Moreover, Shepherd Filters have been tested and proven to reduce the cleaning and costs associated with maintaining a kitchen hood exhaust system:
“We have found our Shepherd Filters to be stopping grease from entering our kitchen exhaust system. As an Engineer of a large hotel I value the importance of peace of mind, knowing our system is protected. We recommend Shepherd Filters as a preventative maintenance solution for kitchen exhaust systems. Our staff have found the filters quick and easy to change without disruptions to service times.” Director of Engineering, Marriott Hotel
“I found the wool filters very easy to change and was amazed at how much grease they stopped. I can absolutely see all grease was stopped from going into my exhaust system no doubts.” Owner, Fasta Pasta
Environmentally Friendly
As opposed to the cleaning of honeycomb and baffle alternatives, our disposable 100% wool kitchen grease filters can be discarded in the regular waste bin. Being bio-degradable, these wool filters provide commercial kitchens an environmentally friendly solution when it comes to maintaining their kitchen exhaust extraction systems. Wool is a highly sustainable fibre and in today’s world we all need to do our part to help the environment. Shepherd Filters help businesses save thousands of litres of water a year as well as reduce the need for harsh chemicals.
Chemical cleaners used to keep kitchen exhaust systems clean, fully functioning and to code are not only expensive but toxic to humans and animals. Cleaning products that are flushed down the drain can have a serious impact on the environment. Capturing grease with Shepherd Filters will also provide for a cleaner extractor motor and belt, resulting in more efficient operation and a decrease in energy consumption.
