Every cooking process releases grease, smoke and soot particles. These quickly accumulate in the exhaust ducts and fans. This poses serious risks, as many particles are flammable and give off odors. An effective way to filter grease, smoke and soot particles before they enter the exhaust duct is the SFE electrostatic kitchen filtration system.
Every cooking process releases grease, smoke and soot particles, which quickly build up in the extraction duct and the fans. Many of these particles are flammable, posing a serious fire risk. In addition, they cause odour nuisance and can lead to higher cleaning costs, higher insurance premiums and damage to reputation. All of this makes effective extraction in the hospitality industry essential. There are also real health risks for staff who are exposed daily to smoke, odours and fine particles, such as those produced when coffee is being brewed.
The air flow first passes through a mechanical pre-filter that captures larger grease and dust particles and protects the electrostatic system. The remaining particles are then positively charged in the ionisation section. In the third step, these charged particles are attracted to negatively charged collector plates. In this way, the electrostatic filter removes particles down to 0.1 microns. An activated carbon filter (SFC) can be added as an option for additional odour and gas removal.
The SF series is a modular system comprising four filter types that can be combined as required. The SFM is an additional media filter for small grease and water particles. The SFE is the main electrostatic filter for the smallest grease particles. The SFC is an activated carbon filter for odours and gases. The SFF is the fan unit that provides the airflow. The units can be easily mounted in line, side by side or one behind the other, so that the filter combination is precisely tailored to the specific contamination in your kitchen.
The SF series is suitable for use in a wide range of professional kitchens: fast-food and Asian restaurants, pizzerias, canteens, hospital kitchens, care homes, shopping centres and catering companies. In addition, there is a specific model designed for the coffee roasting process – which produces smoke, fine dust and strong odours – developed in collaboration with our partner Giesen Coffee Roasters, who supply this model.
Yes, the SF series is designed as a plug-and-play system and can be easily installed in both new and existing ventilation systems without the need for major modifications. In most cases, the existing extractor fan provides sufficient power to compensate for the low pressure drop. External installation is also possible, provided the necessary arrangements are made.
The mechanical filters, the ioniser and the collector plates require regular maintenance to prevent the build-up of grease. This is essential for optimal performance and to minimise the risk of fire. Euromate offers various service contracts, tailored to your choice of filter and the level of contamination in your kitchen. Regular professional maintenance is strongly recommended and can also save up to 50% on cleaning costs.
Grease, smoke and soot particles are released during every cooking process. These particles accumulate quickly in the extraction duct and the fans in professional kitchens where intensive cooking takes place on a daily basis. This creates serious hazards as many particles are flammable. Euromate has the solution. Read more in our brochure.
