Abstract: A filter assembly includes a filter pad comprising fibers including natural, synthetic and/or hybrid fibers. A stabilizer frame formed of a non-metallic material may be imbedded in the filter pad. The stabilizer frame may be configured to provide support to the filter pad to maintain the filter pad in a generally flat configuration. In accordance with a particular embodiment, the filter pad may be comprised of at least first and second fibrous mats that are coupled together. In this embodiment, the stabilizer frame may be disposed between and coupled with the first and second fibrous mats.

Abstract: A filter assembly includes a filter pad comprising flame resistant viscose. The filter assembly also includes a bonding emulsion. The bonding emulsion may comprise casein resin. The bonding emulsion may additionally comprise acrylic resin. The filter assembly also includes a structural support. In particular embodiments, at least a portion of the fibers are treated with a solution that is fire resistant or fire retardant.

Abstract: A filter assembly includes: a filter pad including fibers selected from wool fibers, wood-based viscose fibers, and cellulose-based synthetic fibers, the fibers configured to absorb grease particulates; a baffle-type filter; and a support bracket configured to support the filter pad. The support bracket includes: a clip portion that is substantially u-shaped; an attachment portion including a mounting hole formed in a surface thereof; and a support portion arranged between the clip portion and the attachment portion, the support portion configured to support the disposable filter thereon. The filter assembly includes a hanging bracket configured to support the filter pad therein, the hanging bracket including a front wall, an attachment wall including a mounting hole formed in a surface thereof, and a top wall arranged between the front wall and attachment wall. The support bracket and the hanging bracket are configured to mount the filter assembly to an exhaust hood.
