About

Shepherd Filters

Disposable kitchen grease filters work three times harder than traditional metal kitchen grease filters that only capture 20 to 40% of airborne grease. By installing Shepherd Filters, you capture up to an impressive 98% of this grease.

Our disposable kitchen grease filters work three times harder to STOP GREASE compared to conventional metal filters. This increase in efficiency helps users to further REDUCE RISK of potentially catastrophic fire events all year round. 

Shepherd Filters retrofit effortlessly within existing commercial kitchen hoods. They come as pre-cut packs of 50 in all standard sizes to use with a specially designed frame, making the filters easy to use. 

Changed quickly by your team according to the guide provided on install, not only will the metal filter frames stay clean, so too will the rest of your kitchen exhaust system, which sees you SAVING MONEY!

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.

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.

Our Difference

WHY CLEANING KITCHEN GREASE FILTERS IN-HOUSE CAN BE A PROBLEM
Kitchen hood cleaning for staff can be risky with injuries that occur while cleaning kitchen exhaust filters and equipment can be damaged when used to stand on to reach the grease filter hoods.

Should you install kitchen grease filters incorrectly it can lead to duct-work contamination, which can result in a higher risk of fire and/or repair & maintenance issues. Kitchen exhaust cleaning with hot water and chemicals can create an unsafe work environment for your staff and used without correct procedures, can even result in injury and damage to equipment. If the staff are not trained with the correct procedures, you risk the potential for your insurance claims to be denied.

Kitchen grease filters from Shepherd Filters will be at your best defence against a restaurant exhaust inspection infringements or fines. Insurance claims are commonly rejected if grease hood filters, canopies or the exhaust system have not been properly cleaned and maintained. Avoid this by installing disposable kitchen grease filters or contact us directly for more information.

Our responsible approach

Shepherd Filters are made from 100% wool that can be discarded in the regular waste bin. Being bio-degradable, these wool filters provide commercial kitchens with an environmentally friendly solution when it comes to maintaining their kitchen exhaust extraction systems.
Wool is an all-natural, renewable fibre, grown on sheep. It is a planet-friendly fibre for many reasons:

- Sheep are part of the natural carbon cycle, consuming the organic carbon stored in plants and converting it to wool. Fifty per cent of the weight of wool is pure organic carbon

- Wool products have long lifespans, meaning they are used longer than other fibre products

- Wool is one of the most recycled fibres. With a market share of 1,3% of all textile fibres, wool claims 5% within the recycled fibres market share identifying wool as a suitable fibre for recycling; and

- At the very end of its lifespan, wool biodegrades readily.

It all adds up to a highly sustainable fibre and in today’s world we all need to do our part to help the environment. Shepherd Filters help businesses save thousands of litres of water a year as well as reduce the need for harsh chemicals. Chemical cleaners used to keep kitchen exhaust systems clean, fully functioning and to code are not only expensive but toxic to humans and animals. Cleaning products that are flushed down the drain can have a serious impact on the environment.

Technical summary

Kitchen Grease Filters Explained: Restaurant Exhaust Safety

Kitchen grease filters are one of the first lines of defense for restaurant safety. Kitchen grease is highly flammable, therefore replacing and maintaining a restaurant’s grease filters is an important step in reducing the risk of kitchen grease fires.

Most people think of grease as a liquid, but grease can also travel by vapours and smoke. If the exhaust effluent is properly filtered, a large percentage of this grease is removed from the air stream. This not only greatly reduces the amount of grease that will stick to the inside of the kitchen exhaust hood, it also reduces the risk of a grease duct fire and the need for kitchen exhaust cleaning.
