Obviously, that is due to their advantages, which in any case are not so overwhelming as to cannibalize even the other 5% of sales.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s see what their pros and cons are, shall We?<\/p>\n<p>The baffle filter has a higher oil mist-stopping power than the mesh filter. Furthermore, the labyrinth filter can act as a limit to the passage of flames beyond the hood, thus making an excellent contribution to limiting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/2024\/02\/26\/il-rischio-incendi-in-cucina\/\">fire hazard<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Baffle filter, however, creates greater pressure drops, as it offers more resistance to the passage of air: which makes it not extremely efficient when compared to its alternative.<\/p>\n<p>And another small flaw is its higher cost. Of course, if cleaned regularly the baffle filters last almost forever, so in the long run they will repay the initial investment!<\/p>\n<p>Anyhoo&#8230; for all your air-extraction needs, contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aluminox.it\">Aluminox<\/a>, Italian manufacturer of extraction hoods for the professional Catering industry[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text text_larger=&#8221;no&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text text_larger=&#8221;no&#8221;]There are two most common filtration systems in the professional catering air-extraction industry: mesh filters and baffle filters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4433\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virdex.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
