The Klarzone KZE series was developed to remove grease, smoke and odor particles from commercial kitchen exhaust systems with high efficiency.
The electrostatic filter of the Klarzone KZE series reliably removes grease, smoke and oil-mist particles from the exhaust air of commercial and professional kitchens. The separation efficiency reaches up to 98.7 percent. Washable collector cells keep operating costs low and extend the service life of the exhaust ducts.
An electrostatic filter electrically charges grease and smoke particles in the kitchen exhaust air and then captures them on oppositely charged collector cells. This removes even the finest aerosols from the airflow before the air enters the exhaust duct.
In the first step, the particles are electrically charged in an ionisation field. The charged particles then retain their charge across the entire filter cross-section. In the final step, they are attracted to and held on the collector cells, while the cleaned air flows on.
The electrostatic filter achieves a high separation efficiency of up to 98.7 percent for grease and smoke particles. Because the collector cells are washable, there are no ongoing consumables, and operating and maintenance costs remain low.
By reducing grease deposits, the fire risk in the exhaust duct decreases and the entire exhaust system achieves a longer service life. The energy-efficient and compact design can be flexibly integrated into existing ventilation systems.
For standard gas and electric appliances, electrostatic filters achieve a separation efficiency of over 95 percent. The right air velocity is decisive: the optimal range is between 2 and 3 metres per second. The longer the air dwells in the filter cells, the more efficient the separation.
Solid-fuel cooking such as charcoal grills or wood-fired ovens produces fine, sticky smoke particles. In these cases a two-stage double-pass electrostatic filter system is recommended to raise overall performance back above 95 percent.
The KZE series comprises three models that differ in air capacity and the number of collector cells. The KZE-25 offers an air capacity of 2,500 cubic metres per hour with one collector cell. The KZE-50 delivers 5,000 cubic metres per hour with two collector cells, and the KZE-75 reaches 7,500 cubic metres per hour with three collector cells. All models operate at a filter efficiency of 98.7 percent and a power supply of AC 220 volts at 50 hertz.
The electrostatic filter is suitable for all commercial kitchens with high grease and smoke loads, including restaurants, hotels, industrial kitchens, food courts, canteens, and catering and event kitchens. For complete multi-stage purification, the ESP can be combined with UV-C filters and activated carbon filters, integrated in the ecology unit of the KZT series.
The collector cells of the electrostatic filter are washable and can be cleaned at regular intervals. This avoids ongoing consumable costs and keeps maintenance simple. The optimal air velocity of 2 to 3 metres per second increases the dwell time of the air in the filter cells and therefore maintains separation efficiency over the long term.

With solid-fuel cooking such as charcoal grilling, fine and sticky smoke particles can reduce the efficiency of a single-stage system. In these cases a two-stage double-pass system is recommended, which raises separation performance back above 95 percent.
