Questions
Useful answers before you specify
Baffle filters use a series of rolled metal plates that change the direction of the air, catching grease and acting as a flame barrier. Mesh filters use layers of expanded, corrugated mesh to catch grease. Both are easy to clean and tested to DIN 18869-5.
