SOME OF OUR HAPPY CLIENTS
Shepherd Filters have supplied our McDonald’s restaurant with retrofitted filters. Their wool based filter and frame product retro fitted our existing hoods for vats and grills. These wool covers eliminated close to 100% grease from travelling up the hoods and fan units. All work completed by Shepherd Filters is to a high standard with a pleasing end-result. Staff and Maintenance staff noticed a difference when these filters were fitted in the restaurant straight away. The filters are easy to change, fit and manage on a daily basis and was as cost-effective as completing ongoing duct cleaning. Shepherd Filters are able to accommodate & work around the hours which suit our business with little to no interruption of our operation. They also provide ongoing support and hassle-free communication in regard to any questions. Supply was fast and efficient and I would recommend Shepherd filters to any business for safety and cleanliness of kitchen ducting.

Its clear to see the grease being stopped by the Shepherd Filters.
We also are finding the frames are very clean when we change the filters, so there is peace of mind that most of the grease is now being stopped from entering our kitchen exhaust system.
We anticipate cost savings and the reduction of servicing our ESP and ducting systems.
This has been great for us due to access issues and previous experiences cleaning the ducting.
Our staff have found the filters quick and easy to change when it suits them. We are very happy and this is the right solution for us.

The Shepherd Filters solution is of great benefit to The Kitchen Osborne Park simply because its streets ahead of any other filter system on the market. Shepherd Filters are way more efficient & cost effective than any other filter we have used in the past, and of course it’s great to support an innovative Australian product!
We currently have 3 different Hospitality Training Colleges, providers of Commercial Cookery courses plus various other caterers and small food producers that use The Kitchen and it’s really positive outcome to be able to show the students the innovative Shepherd filter way of extracting airborne grease generated from their cooking procedures. Attached is the Shepherd Filters solution hard at work at my business!

Since installing the Shepherd filters a couple of months ago, we had some good feedback from staff. The filters are easy to change and it takes not much time at all, no mess and a lot less dripping. Besides the initial set up cost, I can see some cost savings already and I’m sure that will increase long-term.
The service from Shepherd Filters is really good with great communication and regular follow-up’s. Thank you.

We have installed Shepherd Filters to many of our Kitchens in the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre and have been thrilled with the performance and the ease of changing them out. The exhaust ducts remain almost grease free and we have cut right down on the frequency of our duct cleaning. The staff at Shepherd Filters were easy to deal with and the training provided to our F&B chefs and stewards was very clear, precise and helpful.

We have received the kitchen hood filter screens and installed them. I think it is the easiest and best way to catch the oil going up in the kitchen exhaust duct. No more grease hood cleaning needed, accompanied with high cost to get professionally cleaned. The filter pads are very easy to insert and there is no cleaning mess. When they have fully absorbed, just take them out and dispose, then insert the new filter pads. No more oil dripping, no more oil residue in the duct and fan that can lead to a fire. Thank you again for your help & service.

We previously used a filter exchange company and duct cleaner. Now we simply satisfy centre management with a clean system when they ask if we have done our canopy clean. Staff change only when needed, about 2 minutes a week and our maintenance costs have been reduced by more than half. Very happy with switching to Shepherd Filters.
We strongly recommend this for other bakeries – you will save money!

The Copthorne Hotel was having issues with kitchen duct cleaning and was taken aback with the costs involved in keeping the hood, ducting and fan clean. We knew there had to be a better way. Using Shepherd Filters kitchen grease filters, we found the three-monthly kitchen duct cleans could be extended to half-yearly and the half-yearly could be extended to an annual clean. Over time, the duct cleans have been dramatically reduced, which is saving the hotel an immense amount of money. The restaurant does an average 300 to 400 meals a day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The other benefits the head chef has noticed is in the noise level reduction within the kitchen, which the dining public were previously exposed to. As this is in the back kitchen, the noise levels have dropped quite dramatically. In the past, duct cleaners have set off the fire alarms in the middle of night, which created a huge headache for the hotel as it resulted in the evacuation of guests. With the requirement for duct cleans reduced, false alarms are a thing of the past. Very happy!

2021 update – 3 and a half years on we couldn’t be happier with Shepherd Filters. Our 18 year old fan recently blew up (because of age). When the fan technicians replaced it, they asked me if I even used to turn the fan on, because it was just so clean. Duct cleaners stop by to quote cleaning my system and they don’t know what to quote me because there is no grease inside my system, no cleaning is even required. It used to take us an hour and a half to wash our filters, now it takes us 10 mins if that to change the filter sheets.
2018 – We are very happy with our Shepherd Filters Solution. We love that its 100% biodegradable and such a better way of capturing grease. It only takes 5 minutes a week to change our filters and its made my life a lot easier as the last thing we want to do is wash frames and waste time. The frame is nice and clean when we change the wool filter sheets. I even told my local council about them when they inspected our kitchen exhaust system last week as they were very impressed, and I recommended they tell everyone.

We are a large privately-owned New Zealand Supermarket. We have one of the largest onsite, in store scratch bakeries, producing approximately 20,000 items per week with 25 staff. We have been using Shepherd Filters for the past 12 months and have noticed a significant reduction in the amount of build-up in our ducting system, so much so that our ducting cleaner has said that we could reduce from 6 monthly cleaning to yearly. This is a huge savings in our costs.
We have also noticed an improvement in the efficiency of the extraction units, which has the flow on benefit of keeping better air quality in these areas and less consumption of electricity trying to suck dirty air through a sticky surface. There has also been a noticeable reduction of soils on the surrounding roof areas of the extractor vents. We are happy to provide a reference and have certainly benefited from its use.

We had Shepherd Filters installed above our cooking equipment in the range hoods as part of meeting our club’s goals for compliance, and meeting a recent health and safety visit from Council.
We visually inspect the rangehood each time and you can see the grease being stopped, protecting our system. The filters are working very well and are quick and easy to change. The service and delivery from Shepherd Filters is reliable and they are always willing to help. I would highly recommend Shepherd Filters for anyone wanting to keep a kitchen exhaust system very clean, and reduce costs and fire risk.

Changing the filters is really easy, we just change before we switch everything on, all of our staff follow your recommended filter change schedule on the wall so no disruptions to our preparation time as we are super busy.
The frames are clean when we change the filter, and we just throw the used wool filters in the bin so yes its very simple system. I’ve actually noticed that our ducts are cleaner and that’s because we can see how much grease is there on the wool filters, so yes we can see how much grease is stopped from entering the ducting.

Shepherd Filters have helped us significantly reduce the amount of oil and grease going into our kitchen exhaust system.
We used to pay around $1000’s in kitchen exhaust cleaning and since using Shepherd Filters, our cleans have been reduced to just cleaning around the tracks every now and then and very little oil getting into the hoods and ducts.
Our staff just change the filters that change colour and find it very easy as the filter change guide provided is very easy to follow.
The frames don’t need washing, we used to wash frames a lot and that took a long time, but also was messy.

This way our staff change before we turn the kitchen appliances on and we control it.

The changing of filters is faster and more time saving than our previous method of soaking, degreasing and washing of our filters. Previously we had outsourced cleaning of the hoods and ducts and fan quite frequently, but the stress of having to do this is now gone.

We have had our Shepherd Filters in our system for 6 months.
Since COVID, our business have been down by over 40% of office workers in the CBD.
During this time, the filter exchange wanted to increase their fees and charge us 3 times what Shepherd Filters is costing us and we just didn’t understand how this is justified when our trade is less which is why Shepherd Filters suits us perfectly.
Our duct clean looks like it will just be a small clean next time or even just an inspection, so I will be happy for anyone to come and check out my Shepherd Filters if you are in Brisbane.

Hands down the best system for taking all the fat filled air contamination out of the kitchen and the extraction system, using a wool blanket that composts.

Since installation of Shepherd Filters around 6 months ago in Bistro 534 at the Gaythorne RSL, we have noted they capture a significant amount of grease.

This way we just change the sheet when we’ve had a busy few days because you can see what’s going on.

Shepherd filters have been a great way for us to cut down on time given over to extraction cleaning while maintaining great standards of safety and cleanliness.
The ability to capture airborne grease at the point of creation and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly way is a major bonus in terms of efficiency and potentially the lifespan of the system.

Based on the cleanliness of the kitchen exhaust system pre and post-trial, we have determined that the Shepherd Filters have effectively maintained the cleanliness of the downstream internal surfaces of the kitchen exhaust system. If the entirety of the kitchen exhaust system was in a visibly clean condition and the Shepherd Filters installed and maintained as per the manufacturer’s recommendations, it is likely that the cleanliness of the downstream internal surface of the entire system would remain free from excessive oil and grease build-up for several years.

In 2017 our business experienced a situation whereby our exhaust fan fins broke away from the motor and therefore without a functioning exhaust fan or hood, we were forced to close the restaurant until a temporary solution was installed and eventually all repairs could be carried out (3 nights trading).
Our costs:
· Failed equipment replacement costs
· Labour costs associated with all repairs
· Staff wages
· Repair assessment costs
· 3 days of lost income
Estimated Total Losses $30,000 (approx.)
As a partner/owner of a busy restaurant, we are aware of the overheads associated with our kitchen. Monthly expenses for filter exchange services plus the cost of flue cleaning twice a year mount up for any busy commercial kitchen. Add to these expenses the cost of all other cleaning materials, labour plus insurance premiums and you realise the annual costs to any business are significant. As business owners, we try to plan for all contingencies including loss of business and the opportunity to claim against equipment failure. However all these contingencies are useless unless you can prove that you have met all the conditions of the policy. Because Shepherd Filters capture up to 98% of all airborne grease particles, we now consider Shepherd Filters as an essential element of our insurance policy mix. By installing and using Shepherd Filters in our exhaust hood system we eliminate the worry of fire in the flue and also ensure that our flue system meets with our policy prerequisites. Not only have we addressed all of these issues we have also significantly reduced the cost of cleaning the flue due to the vastly diminished volume of airborne grease entering the flue system. By installing Shepherd Filters in our kitchen and when combined with our insurance policy, we can assure ourselves of our insurance investment.

Since installing Shepherd Filters, our system has been kept perfect throughout. I have inspected it myself a number of times thinking I will find grease in the ducting and inside the canopy due to the cooking we do, it’s still perfect, 100% clean.
It’s the best filter we have ever had as the others got very greasy, which meant we had to clean them 2 or 3 times a week and a couple of weeks after the deep cleans it was already getting greasy again. This saves us money on deep cleans and hours cleaning the filters during the week. We are very happy to recommend it!

Shepherd Filters have greatly reduced our maintenance and cleaning. I regularly check behind the filters and there used to be so much grease build up. Certain filters need changing more than others so our staff just change them based on how they look. We used to clean and scrub our old filters during the off season and clean out the hoods in between duct cleans and now its certainly one less thing to do plus so much less grease overall. We recommend for other theme parks and function based venues.

Shepherd Filters are so easy to use for us, saving time cleaning. They only take around 5 mins to change all the filters and apply fresh sheets. The frames are clean behind it so we reduce water wastage. The system is kept cleaner inside too and we have noticed grease is reduced.
Some weeks we are quieter, so change the filters every second week when they change colour, so it just depends on how busy we are. We recommend them.

I am very happy to save money on maintenance this way because I know they work.

For us it’s the speed of changing filter sheets, we spend so much less time cleaning the canopy and washing frames like we used to.
Its one less job to think about which gives us more cooking time, plus you don’t have to pay someone to come out and do an expensive full system clean anymore for our heritage listed Hotel.

We love our Shepherd Filters, we have had them in place for the last 3 years and are over the moon with their performance and ease of use.
It makes me sleep easier at night knowing we are doing all we can with reducing the risk of a hood fire.
We get amazing support from the team and would highly recommend this system to anyone in the food service business.
Thanks team!

Easy to deal with, orders arrive promptly but better yet the product actually does what is advertised.
Prolongs the time between the exhaust needing deeps cleans which keeps money in your pocket!
Thanks from the team!

Nanuku Resort originally had Stainless Steel baffle type filters in our kitchen exhaust. We used to clean out the fan and ductwork on a 3-monthly basis to remove the grease build-up. The Hood and Baffle filters were cleaned weekly.
Since 2019, we changed to Shepherd Filters and have found a marked reduction in grease build-up. We faithfully replace the filters as recommended, and have found we do not have to clean the ducts and fans. This has been a good investment on our part.
