Flat grease filter „Öko Clean Control“
Mainly grease filters are used in cooker hoods operating in recirculating mode in order to avoid unhygienic grease deposits on furniture and walls in the kitchen.
Riensch & Held succeeded in developing a biodegradable grease filter for cooker hoods that, in contrast to all other cooker hood filters, do not have to be disposed via normal domestic waste. The PEFC-certified product consists of 100% natural fibres and is chlorine free bleached.
It is compostable and completely dissolves within 56 days as a study of ISEGA institute shows:
Analysis
A common problem is that it is often forgotten to change the „hidden“ filter in the hood in time. This might be dangerous as a saturated filter may influence the function of the cooker hood; furthermore due to the collected grease it implicates an extreme safety respectively fire risk.
In order to minimize this risk we developed an external self-adhesive exchange indicator that can be stuck on the hood or pin board.
The filter –Made in Germany- can be cut to size and is therefore suitable for all standard cooker hoods up to 60 cm width. Besides two exchange indicators, a pair of disposable gloves for hygienic filter change is attached to the product.
Stick the timestrip® on a place clearly visible (e.g. cooker hood). Then press firmly the START bubble - crack! After a few minutes a thin stripe appears in the window - the timestrip® is now activated!
After 3 months the window is completely coloured – for optimum efficiency you should change the filter now!
