Features	Benefits
Efficient front-end grease capture system	Reduces the operating costs by decreasing the frequency of hood and duct work cleaning, exhaust fan replacement, and roof repair Improves fire safety of cooking operations by reducing quantity of fuel (grease) throughout the system In some cases, can eliminate the need for costly, downstream air purification systems
Captures 2-4 times the weight of grease compared to standard baffle filters	Cleaner ducts, exhaust fans, and exterior surfaces, including roofs, walls, and pavement Less grease being exhausted from kitchens means less odor; reduces neighbor complaints
Available in all popular sizes of standard baffle filters	Retrofit capability – CaptiveAire’s Captrate® Combo Filters will fit into most existing hood systems that use standard 2” deep filters
Light-weight	Easy removal and cleaning by the kitchen staff
Tough stainless steel construction	Stands up to rough handling

 

CaptiveAire’s Captrate® Combo Filter (view Solo Filter page ») uses the latest technology in multi-stage grease filtration, delivering unparalleled efficiency for restaurant hood systems. The first stage consists of an optimized S-baffle designed to remove and drain the larger grease particles. The second stage features a packed-bed of porous ceramic media, designed to capture the smaller grease particles associated with commercial cooking. The combined result is a front-end filtration solution delivering unparalleled grease removal efficiency for restaurant hood systems.

 

The Captrate® Combo Filter is available for new kitchen hoods and can also be retrofitted into most existing ventilation systems. It will substantially reduce cleaning, maintenance cycles and attendant expenses, providing greater overall cost savings than other grease capture devices or systems on the market today.

 

Capturing grease in its finest form

 

Cooking produces emissions that are the source of mess and cost. The emissions include steam, gas molecules, and aerosol droplets that range in size from sub-microscopic to large spatters and solid particles. CaptiveAire has combined the latest aerosol technology and a novel media to produce a filter that captures most of the particles that standard baffle filters cannot stop. The Captrate® filter, which is a bed of porous ceramic beads, captures small particles as they are forced through the bed’s pathways and then pulls the grease into the beads to prevent clogging. This capture-and-store process as well as the high efficiency, first-stage baffle, which confines more grease than any other baffle, extends the cleaning interval, thereby lengthening the system’s run time.

 

Captivating performance

 

The Captrate® Combo Filter is designed to capture substantially more grease than today’s standard filter systems. The superior efficiency means cleaner duct work, exhaust fans, and external surfaces such as roofs, walls, and pavement. Less grease means improved safety as well as reduced maintenance and cleaning cost of the ventilation system.
