10002955 - 27x27x2 Inch Pre-Filter Saver Pads (2-Pack)

Heavy-Duty Protection for Your Extraction Gear

When you are under the hood, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your fume extractor is pulling its weight. The Set of Two Filter Saver Pads (27" x 27" x 2") is built for the harsh reality of the welding shop. We know that welding, grinding, and cutting generate a mix of fine fumes and heavy, hot debris. If that heavy debris hits your main filter directly, it can burn holes in the media or clog it up in no time. These thick, 2-inch pre-filter pads are designed to take that beating so your expensive main filters don't have to.

Think of these pads as the shield for your machine. They sit right at the intake or in the pre-filter slot, catching the sparks, metal shavings, and heavy grinding dust that are inevitable in metal fabrication. The 27x27 inch size provides a large surface area, which helps keep the air velocity manageable and prevents the filter from choking off your suction too quickly. Because they are 2 inches thick, they have a lot of internal space to trap dirt, meaning they last longer than thin fiberglass mats and keep your airflow strong throughout the shift.

Swapping these out is dirty work, but it's fast and simple. When you notice your suction dropping, checking the pre-filter is step one. Often, a quick change of this pad restores your machine's performance instantly, letting you get back to work without the haze. Using these pads consistently prevents the "cake" of dust that forms on cartridge filters, which is notoriously hard to pulse off. This means your self-cleaning cycles work better, and you aren't buying expensive replacement cartridges every few months.

This pack comes with two pads, giving you a backup ready to go on the shelf. They are compatible with various industrial downdraft tables and large-format extractors that require this specific 27-inch footprint. Don't let grinding dust kill your fume extractor; throw in a fresh filter saver pad and keep your shop air clean and your equipment running smooth. It’s a small price to pay for protecting your lungs and your wallet from the high cost of equipment repair.
