Electrostatix – electrostatic filters
For: Grease and smoke removal in ducted systems
Plasma Clean’s Electrostatix electrostatic filters (also known as electrostatic precipitators, or ESPs) are the ideal choice for removing particulates from air. Electrostatix can be used across a wide range of applications including:
- Kitchen Exhaust – grease and smoke removal
- Oil Mist – machine shops, cold heading, screw machines, foundry, machining centres, heat treating and tenter frames
- Smoke – welding, presses / forging, curing, rubber, plasticisers and heat treating
- HVAC – return air, outside / makeup air
For industrial use (other than kitchen exhaust applications) we supply fan assisted units – please call if you would like further information.
Electrostatix Lite
Plasma Clean Electrostatix Lite is designed for Grease & Smoke Control in smaller commercial kitchens – cafes, pop ups, food trailers etc. – where space is restricted. The unit has a built-in flow sensor. This ensures it only runs when the kitchen extraction system is operating, increasing energy efficiency. The permanent filters are easily removed for cleaning in warm soapy water, rinsed off and dried thoroughly before replacing.
By applying technology in an innovative way, we’ve been able to make our ESPs up to twice as effective as competitor units.
The highest efficiency for the highest flow rates
Suppliers typically quote efficiency/particle removal rates for ESPs of 95% and above. Look more closely, however, and you find that high efficiency percentages often relate only to low volume air flows. The Electrostatix stands out by providing the highest efficiency for the highest flow rates. We’re happy to calculate what can be expected in any particular kitchen.
Our top rate 99.99%.
Leading technology for strong performance
Where honeycomb-type systems create only positively charged particles and leave around 20% of particles untouched, Plasma Clean electrostatic filters create both positive and negatively charged particles. Both types are then trapped on the charged collector plates. Combined with our larger than average collector cells, this makes a dramatic improvement to ESP performance.
There’s more…
A collection of further design features make the Electrostatix a clear winner.
The pressure drop is two to three times lower than competitor ESPs, so there’s no need for energy-hungry bigger and noisier fans. We’ve also included stainless steel ioniser blades, which don’t break– unlike competitor tungsten wire ionisers. And a high voltage stand off insulator virtually eliminates arcing, which prolongs even further the life of the already robust power supply.
The units are designed specifically for commercial kitchen and food production use. Low power, they can be configured in single, double or even triple pass depending on the nature of the cooking and the levels of efficiency required.
How does it work?
Contaminated air first passes through a diffuser and pre-filter. Grease and smoke particles are then ionised to give them an electrostatic charge. This attracts them to collector plates where they are trapped.

Care and maintenance
- Spent collector cells are removed for cleaning and replaced with fresh ones by our maintenance engineers. Cells typically last three to four months between changes.
- Two-year parts warranty.
- Planned maintenance contracts available – see Support.
For a complete grease, odour and smoke solution, we can combine Electrostatix with any or all of the following products:
Coil filters – grease and oil
Xtract 2100 – odour
Techniclean units – odour and grease
Electrostatix can also be combined with Techniclean in a single grease, odour and smoke unit.
