OVERVIEW

Breathe Easier with Superior Fume Control

When you are under the hood, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your fume extractor is actually doing its job. The Diversitech FRED Jr. Replacement Nanofiber Filter Cartridge is designed to give you peace of mind and clean air, shift after shift. If you are running a FRED Jr. portable unit, this is the upgrade your lungs deserve. Unlike basic paper filters that act like sponges—soaking up dust until they choke off your suction—this filter uses high-tech Nanofiber media. Think of it as a shield that catches smoke and dust right on the surface, stopping it cold before it can dig in and clog things up.

Why does "Nanofiber" matter to a welder? It's all about suction power and filter life. Because the dust sits on the outside of the filter, when your machine's self-cleaning pulse kicks in, that dust blows right off and falls into the tray. This means your vacuum pressure stays strong, keeping the smoke away from your face, and you aren't forced to stop working to change out a clogged filter every few weeks. With a massive 320 square feet of filter material packed into this cartridge, it handles heavy smoke from flux-core, oily smoke from stamped parts, and the fine particulate from plasma cutting with ease.

Installation is straightforward and fast, getting you back to fabrication in minutes. This cartridge is built tough to handle the heat and grit of a metalworking shop. It effectively captures the dangerous stuff you can't see—like the microscopic particles from stainless steel or aluminum welding—keeping your breathing zone safe. A clogged filter doesn't just hurt the machine; it hurts you. By switching to this high-capacity nanofiber cartridge, you ensure that your FRED Jr. pulls hard and filters effectively, protecting your health and keeping your shop floor haze-free.

Don't settle for generic replacements that might not seal correctly or filter efficiently. This genuine Diversitech replacement ensures a perfect fit and maximum performance. Whether you are grinding, welding, or gouging, this filter stands up to the abuse and keeps the air moving. Invest in your health and your equipment's longevity with the best filter technology available for your portable extractor.

FAQ

This cartridge is specifically designed for the Diversitech FRED Jr. portable fume extractor.

Nanofiber media captures particles on the surface (surface loading) rather than deep inside the filter. This allows for much more effective pulse cleaning, better airflow, and significantly longer filter life.

Filter life depends on usage intensity and the type of particulate. However, thanks to the 320 sq. ft. area and nanofiber technology, it typically lasts much longer than standard filters. Change it when the pressure gauge indicates high resistance or suction drops noticeably.

Yes, this filter is designed for use with the FRED Jr.'s reverse-pulse cleaning system. The nanofiber media releases dust cake very effectively during the pulse cycle.

Yes, the high efficiency (MERV 15) of the nanofiber media makes it suitable for capturing fine, hazardous particulates like hexavalent chromium generated during stainless steel welding.

The cartridge contains 320 square feet of filtration media.

This is a direct replacement part for the FRED Jr. No adapters are needed.

Absolutely. The nanofiber media is excellent for capturing fine grinding dust and releases it easily during cleaning cycles.
