Some grease filters have adjustable features incorporated in their designs that allow the static pressure created by the filter to be increased or decreased. The ability to increase or decrease the static pressure can be beneficial in controlling airflows with in the CKV hood.
There are basically three types of Grease Filters for Type 1 hoods: Baffle, High Velocity High Slot Cartridge, and Multi-Stage Filter. These filters range in price and efficiency depending on the manufacturer. The more economical baffle filters are available in aluminum or stainless steel construction. The cartridge filters are typically made in more durable stainless steel. [...]
There are no current national codes or standards that include a minimum grease extraction efficiency that a filter for a CKV Hood must achieve; currently there are several air quality management districts that are considering minimum grease extraction efficiency requirements for filters for CKV hoods.

Multi Stage Filter Cartridge with Filtration Mesh A multi-stage grease filter is a filter that has a primary filter and additional stages of filter downstream of the primary filter. ExtractAire™ HVCMS Filters are engineered for use in CKV hoods requiring a filter that is Listed to the UL 1046 Standard. The ExtractAire™ HVCMS Filter [...]
Multi-stage filters generally have significantly higher grease extraction efficiencies when compared to single stage filters. The ExtractAire™ HVCMS Filter design and construction provides the ultimate fire protection and the highest level of grease extraction available in CKV Grease Filters. ExtractAire™ HVCMS Filters can withstand the harshest CKV environments. The HVCMS Filter assembly incorporates Streivor’s sustainable, [...]
The most commonly used metals that CKV hoods are manufactured from are Stainless Steel, and Aluminized Steel. 304 Stainless Steel for Canopy Hood Streivor's standard is to build the hood canopy using high quality 304 Grade Stainless Steel. 304 Stainless Steel is a non-magnetic alloy that has lower carbon to minimize carbide precipitation [...]
CKV hoods are manufactured form several type of stainless steel, The most commonly used material are 304 and 430 stainless steel. Type 304 stainless steel is a high grade of stainless steel that includes a minimum of 8% nickel. Type 430 stainless steel is a lower grade of stainless steel that includes a minimum of [...]
The benefit of using type #304 verses #430 stainless steel is that the #304 is better suited for the harsh environment that a Type I CKV must withstand. The 304 material will better withstand the harsh degreasers and other chemical that are used during the hood and duct cleaning, the chemicals that make up [...]
Aluminized steel is steel that is coated with aluminum during the milling process. Aluminized Steel Characteristics Aluminized steel was developed for providing more structural durability and a high yield strength in highly corrosive environments. Aluminized steel is carbon steel coated, through the hot-dip process, with an aluminum-silicon alloy. This process assures a tight metallurgical bond between the steel sheet and [...]
Aluminized metal can be used in the non-exposed portions of a CKV hood, such as the exhaust plenum. When it is imperative to reduce the costs of the CKV hood, substituting aluminized metal in the non-exposed portions of the hood can be a consideration.
