Saturation Guidelines

Reference these three distinct visual states to ensure peak airflow and optimal grease trapping efficiency.

1. Fresh & Functional

The clean cream-white wool pad signifies peak capacity. Standard extraction airflow is unhindered.

2. Actively Trapping

The fibers darken to an amber hue. Normal performance continues—no replacement required yet.

3. Fully Saturated

Dark brown with surface grease beads. The pad must be changed immediately to preserve fire barriers.

7-Step Wool Pad Replacement Process

Follow these steps for safe, simple, and clean canopy maintenance.

1

Remove steel primary baffle filters carefully from extraction hood plenums.

2

Detach the grease-saturated organic wool pad and inspect the support framing.

3

Clean frame edges with reverse side of old pad to collect extra grease.

4

Dispose of the fully biodegradable soiled wool pad directly in general waste.

5

Position a fresh clean AES wool pad flat across the support baffle face.

6

Refit filter frame with gentle pressure, ensuring all seals lock correctly.

7

Wipe down canopy plenum edges and complete log documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers regarding compliance, materials, and safety certifications.

What are AES Wool Pad Filters made from?

They are composed of 100% pure organic sheep wool. The natural structure is highly flame retardant and completely biodegradable.

Can filters fit existing extraction canopies?

Yes, our custom support frames allow wool pads to mount perfectly behind standard UL1046 baffle systems.

Are All-Clean filter products certified?

Absolutely. They hold DIN-18869-5 flame barrier certification and are fully UL 1046 compliant.

Will duct cleaning still be required?

Yes, but duct grease build-up is lowered dramatically, extending TR19 audit intervals by over 50%.
