Metal kitchen grease filters allow grease vapours to enter the hood. At their most effective, they will still only capture 20 to 40% of the kitchen grease. On the other hand, Shepherd Filters disposable kitchen grease filters capture up to 98% of the grease before entering the kitchen hood exhaust system. This greatly reduces the grease build-up that enters the plenum, duct work, fans, and roofs, minimising the risk of a catastrophic fire.
Shepherd Filters are quick and easy to install and can be disposed of in seconds.
Changing a wool filter is dramatically more straightforward in comparison to taking apart an exhaust hood to clean grease build-up.

Shepherd Filters capture the grease before it enters the exhaust system, reducing the grease build-up within and decreasing the risk of fire.

Airborne grease is heavily reduced from entering the kitchen hood exhaust system, offering immediate savings by dramatically decreasing both the labour costs associated with cleaning metal grease filters and the number of kitchen duct cleans.

Decreasing the current filter cleaning schedule along with fewer grease hood and duct cleans greatly reduces the amount of water and chemicals being used to maintain a clean kitchen exhaust system.

Save energy with a cleaner kitchen exhaust system, rooftop fans, HVAC and other rooftop equipment results in more efficient operation of the equipment, not to mention less maintenance. Wool is also a renewable natural resource.

Shepherd Filters are made from 100% wool. The filter media is carbon-neutral and will break down in landfill. In today’s world we all need to do our part to help the environment.
