context_page_description: Turboswing is a type of grease filter used in kitchen ventilation to remove grease particles from the air. It is typically installed inside the extractor hoods of restaurant kitchens. Its operation is based on a rotating filtering medium.
context_section_description: The main difference between turboswing and most common filters is that in turboswing filters the filtering medium is not static. There is a perforated disk rotating at high speed. When the grease particles go through the rotating disk they are separated from the air.
  After separation, centrifugal force due to the rotating disk throws particles against the inner walls of the filter. Particles then drip down the walls of the chamber onto the lower collection basin, where they stay until they are removed through the tap at the bottom of the filter dome.
