The Thesvin stainless steel oil removal filter mesh is a replacement filter for range hoods, designed to capture heavy grease and cooking odours. It combines a 304 stainless steel frame and front cover with an aluminium foil micro-perforated mesh, flame-retardant polyester fibre, and a high-quality activated carbon layer. It is intended for open-kitchen recirculating range hoods, European-style top-vent or side-vent hoods, and commercial kitchen exhaust purification systems.
The first thing to check is how the filter seats in your hood. Thesvin builds the outer frame from high-strength aluminium profiles or stainless steel, and the front cover is stainless steel. The interface is defined by the frame dimensions, the position of the mounting points, and any optional clips or handles you specify. Because every hood model has its own cavity, Thesvin does not rely on a universal size; instead, the filter is made to match the host device or duct opening.
Sealing and location are handled by the frame and the filter media pack. The activated carbon layer sits behind the aluminium foil mesh and polyester fibre, and the whole pack is held within the rigid frame. This construction keeps the filter flat and stable in the hood slot, so air passes through the media rather than bypassing it. If your hood uses a push-in fit, a bayonet mount, or a screw-fixed frame, the mounting style is confirmed from your drawing or old part before production. Optional clips and handles can be added to suit the way you remove and refit the filter during cleaning or replacement.
Thesvin supports full customisation of size, structure, filter media grade, frame material, logo, and packaging under OEM/ODM. That means the fitment is not limited to a catalogue list: the frame can be adapted to the host unit’s opening, and the media can be selected for the level of odour control required. For commercial kitchen exhaust systems, the same approach applies to duct-mounted frames, where the filter is sized to the duct interface and the frame provides the locating surface.
The filter works on two levels. First, the aluminium foil micro-perforated mesh and the flame-retardant polyester fibre separate and capture heavy oil and grease particles from the cooking air. This reduces grease build-up on the hood interior and on downstream components. Second, the activated carbon layer adsorbs cooking odours, including oily smoke smells and spicy notes, which is the main reason recirculating hoods use this type of filter.
The media combination is intended for open kitchens where air is returned to the room rather than ducted outside. By trapping grease before it reaches the carbon, the pre-filter layers help the carbon layer do its job of odour adsorption. The filter complies with UL 900 Class 1 / Class 2 fire safety testing, which addresses flame spread and fire resistance for air filter media. This is a safety characteristic of the filter media and does not replace the fire safety requirements of the appliance itself.
Because the filter is made from 304 stainless steel, aluminium foil, polyester fibre, and activated carbon, it is suited to the warm, greasy environment of a kitchen. The frame and front cover can be wiped clean, and the media pack is replaced when grease loading or odour breakthrough becomes noticeable. Thesvin does not add adhesives or sealants beyond what is needed to hold the media in the frame, and the construction is kept simple so that replacement is straightforward.

Dimensions are made to order. Provide the frame width, height, depth, and mounting details, or send an old part for reference. Thesvin will confirm the drawing before production.
Thesvin operates a quality system certified to IATF 16949 (achieved in 2024) and ISO 9001, with in-process controls at IQC, IPQC, and OQC to maintain dimensional consistency from batch to batch. The company’s own laboratory is CNAS-accredited and can issue test reports for filtration efficiency, dust holding capacity, and resistance. The production base covers 50,000 m², including six clean workshops totalling 20,000 m², and the company also holds ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications. Products comply with REACH and RoHS environmental regulations, and compliance documents can be provided.
With more than 20 years of filtration product development and manufacturing experience, Thesvin has supplied export markets in Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea for over 20 years. Multiple automated production lines support monthly capacity in the millions of pieces. For this range hood filter, lead time and minimum order quantity are confirmed with your inquiry, based on the customisation level and order volume.
To get a quote, send the device or vehicle model, the filter size or a drawing, the airflow or water flow requirement, the operating conditions (temperature, grease load, recirculating or ducted), and the quantity you need. If you do not have a drawing, an old part or a photo with dimensions is enough to start. Contact us through /en/contact and we will confirm fitment and pricing.
Fitment depends on the frame dimensions and mounting points of your hood. Thesvin makes the filter to your drawing or old part, with a 304 stainless steel frame and front cover, and optional clips or handles. Send the hood model and a photo with dimensions, and we will confirm the interface before production.
Yes. An old filter or a photo with a ruler in the frame is enough to establish the outer dimensions and mounting details. Thesvin will use it to create a drawing for your approval before manufacturing. This is often faster than producing a CAD file from scratch.
The filter uses aluminium foil micro-perforated mesh and flame-retardant polyester fibre to separate and capture heavy oil and grease, followed by an activated carbon layer to adsorb cooking odours. Efficiency depends on the media grade and operating conditions. Thesvin’s CNAS-accredited laboratory can issue test reports for filtration efficiency, dust holding capacity, and resistance on request.
Yes. Thesvin supports OEM/ODM customisation of size, structure, filter media grade, frame material, logo, and packaging. The filter is built to match the host device or duct, and the company has developed more than 1,000 filtration solutions. Provide your requirements and we will propose a specification.
Minimum order quantity and lead time are confirmed with your inquiry, because they depend on the customisation level and order volume. Thesvin operates multiple automated production lines with monthly capacity in the millions of pieces. Send your quantity and required date, and we will respond with a firm schedule.
Replacement depends on cooking frequency, grease load, and whether the hood is recirculating. In typical open-kitchen use, replace the filter when grease loading becomes visible or odour control weakens. Thesvin does not specify a fixed interval because operating conditions vary; monitor the filter and replace it as needed.
Yes. A sample or drawing confirmation is used to verify fit and sealing before mass production. Send your drawing or old part, and Thesvin will confirm the sample arrangement and quote. Sample policy and cost are confirmed with your inquiry.
The filter media complies with UL 900 Class 1 / Class 2 fire safety testing. Thesvin holds IATF 16949 (achieved in 2024), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, and products comply with REACH and RoHS. Compliance documents can be provided.
