Baffle Filter vs Filterless Chimneys - Which is better?

We are surprised by how many times we are asked this question - which chimney is better - Baffle Filter or Filterless Chimney? And we are also surprised by how very few people know the correct answer. So here you go. Which chimney is better, a baffle filter or a filterless one? The answer is, both.

Well, that depends. How much oil is used in your kitchen will determine the answer. You should choose BAFFLE FILTER if your meal uses a lot of oil, such non-vegetarian food, if you have a large family and cook a lot, or if you just prefer food with lots of oil, ghee, and butter! FILTERLESS chimney, however, can be an option if your kitchen uses less oil. To know why, read on!

For Standard Decorative Chimneys (image below): 

Reason 1: Baffle filter chimneys are superior to filterless chimneys for horizontal installations (0°-45°) because they effectively trap oil particles. The curved panels of the baffle filter create a double layer that captures oil, preventing it from entering and clogging the chimney. Ventair offers 11° inclined baffle filters to ensure that trapped oils flow directly into a container at the back of the chimney, avoiding oil dripping on the kitchen counter. In contrast, filterless chimneys lack the ability to trap oil efficiently due to the absence of multiple layers, causing oil to drip even at an angle.

Reason 2: Filters in chimneys play a crucial role in preventing oil and dirt from entering the chimney. Filterless chimneys, lacking an effective filter mechanism, allow oil and dirt to accumulate inside, affecting the performance of the motor and blower. This leads to reduced suction power in just a few months unless the chimney is cleaned frequently. On the other hand, baffle filter chimneys perform well due to the effective filtration provided by the filters, maintaining higher suction power for a longer time. Therefore, if oil consumption is high, baffle filter chimneys are preferable over filterless chimneys.

So for both reasons mentioned above, Baffle Filter Chimneys are better than Filterless Chimneys if oil consumption is high. 

For Vertical Chimneys (image below): 

In case of a Vertical Chimney ( filters at angles approx 75°-90°, like the image above), Filterless are a good option. In fact, in this case the type of filter doesn't matter because the angle of the filter makes the oil directly drip into the oil container.
