10001587 - Diversitech FRED Jr. Portable Fume Extractor - 13ft Arm, 575V Nanofiber

Diversitech FRED Jr. 13' Arm Fume Extractor (575V)

The Diversitech FRED Jr. (FRED-JR-13-030N5) is the industry standard for portable, capture-at-source fume extraction. Engineered for heavy industrial applications requiring 575V 3-phase power, this unit delivers powerful airflow to effectively remove welding smoke, fumes, and particulate matter. It is an essential tool for metal fabrication shops looking to protect workers and maintain air quality standards.

High-Efficiency Nanofiber Technology

This unit is equipped with a Nanofiber filter cartridge, which offers superior filtration efficiency compared to commodity filter media. Nanofiber technology excels at surface loading, meaning dust and fume particles are trapped on the surface of the filter rather than embedding deep within the media. This results in lower pressure drop, higher sustained airflow, and longer filter life, ultimately reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Maximum Reach and Usability

The included 13-foot flexible arm is a standout feature, providing a wide radius of operation. The arm's external pantograph joints allow for easy adjustment and positioning without restricting airflow inside the duct. This length is ideal for working around large assemblies or reaching into difficult spots without needing to reposition the main unit. The capture hood is designed to maximize suction velocity, ensuring fumes are drawn in effectively.

Rugged and Portable Design

Designed for mobility, the FRED Jr. is mounted on locking swivel casters, making it easy to maneuver over concrete floors and around obstacles. The unit's compact footprint allows it to fit into tight spaces, while its 1.5HP (typical for this class) motor assembly provides the static pressure necessary to overcome the resistance of the long arm and high-efficiency filter. For shops operating on 575V infrastructure, this plug-and-play (wiring required) solution is the reliable choice for cleaner air.
