Filter mesh-Baffle filters vs Mesh filters
Both of these filters are designed to remove grease from the air intake going in through the air filtration system. The air filtration system itself is eliminating heat, smoke and smells from above the stoves. This provides a better working environment for workers in the kitchens. However, recent regulations from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), push commercial kitchens to implement baffle filters in their facilities, over their mesh counterparts, because of their better performance of removing grease from the air. Some companies go even a step further, adding a mesh filter behind the baffle filter to provide even greater filtration. Although this requires a more powerful fan to provide the needed airflow, it does prove effective and limits the costs of expensive ductwork cleaning. On top of all that, it prolongs the periods between the cleaning of the filters themselves.
