OVERVIEW

Keep Your Lungs Clear and Your Shop Clean

Welding is a tough job, but breathing in the smoke shouldn't be part of the daily grind. The Diversitech FRED Jr. (FRED-JR-13-015N1) is your personal bodyguard against welding fumes, smoke, and grinding dust. Designed for the welder who needs mobility and power, this portable smoke eater rolls right up to your workpiece, giving you clean air exactly where you need it. No more hazing out the shop or blowing black mucus at the end of the shift.

Plug-and-Play Power: One of the best things about the FRED Jr. is how easy it is to set up. It runs on standard 120-volt power, meaning you can plug it into any regular wall outlet in your garage or shop. You don't need an electrician to wire up a special circuit. Just wheel it in, plug it in, and flip the switch. The 1.5 horsepower motor kicks on instantly, pulling 1200 CFM of air to suck away smoke before it even reaches your welding helmet.

Massive Reach: This model comes equipped with a massive 13-foot extraction arm. That extra length is a game-changer. It means you can park the machine in one spot and still reach all around a large assembly or welding table. The arm is super flexible and stays put once you position it. Whether you are welding overhead, down low, or around a corner, the hood stays right where you need it to capture the plume effectively.

Superior Filtration: Inside the unit is a high-tech Nanofiber filter. Unlike cheap filters that clog up instantly, this MERV 15 rated cartridge stops 99.9% of the nasty stuff, including the ultra-fine particles that do the most damage to your lungs. It captures the smoke and returns clean, safe air back into the shop. This also helps keep your shop cleaner by preventing dust from settling on your tools and benches.

Built for the Shop: The FRED Jr. isn't a flimsy appliance; it's built like a tank. The steel cabinet is powder-coated to resist scratches and corrosion, and the heavy-duty wheels roll easily over cracks and cords. It also features a spark arrestor to keep hot sparks away from the filter, adding an extra layer of safety. If you are tired of breathing smoke and want a professional-grade solution that moves with you, the FRED Jr. with the 13-foot arm is the tool for the job.
