Filter or separator? What is the best method for cleaning exhaust air in industry and gastronomy? <\/strong> Wherever grease or oil is used, tiny droplets are released into the air. Whether in the food industry, in mechanical engineering or in large commercial kitchens – these particles must be removed from the exhaust air flow. But what is the best way to do this? By filtering or by separation<\/a>? We answer this question in this article. <\/p>\n\n

The difference between a filter and a separator<\/h2>\n\n

A filter stores grease and oil particles in its medium. This means that the grease collects in the filter over time. A separator, on the other hand, separates the particles directly from the air. The particles are separated, run off and the air remains clean<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n
