Safe and easy replacement

On the front of the MFD and SFD units, you'll find an indicator that tells you when to replace the filter. When the filter is saturated, it's time for a new one. The FCC-50 DuraFilter™ traps contaminated particles inside the filter. This prevents unnecessary exposure to contamination when replacing the filter. The integrated handles make it easy and safe to do. If you need a new filter, you can quickly order one using the QR code on the filter.

The best filter for your health

Welding fumes contain particulate matter: a constant source of irritation for your body. They are so harmful that there's no known lower limit that's 100% safe. Therefore, you need to ensure that welding fumes are optimally extracted from your workplace using a professional extraction system.


Choose your filter consciously

Safe air quality is only achieved when the extraction system and filter are carefully coordinated and perform optimally together. Sometimes it's easy to get lost in the vast array of filters available: they may look similar, but their price and filter capacity vary enormously. Remember: only a genuine filter guarantees the quality and reliability of your welding fume extraction system and provides maximum protection for your health.
You can expect the highest quality and ease of use from Plymovent filters:

  • Instantly recognisable: clear colours for the correct media type, with Plymovent quality guarantee thanks to the logo and the unique number per filter
  • Quickly (re)ordered: with the unique product number and the QR code on each filter
  • Extra protection: includes gloves and FFP3 masks for safe replacement

Frequently Asked Questions about the FCC-50 DuraFilter™

The FCC-50 DuraFilter™ is an original Plymovent (replacement) filter (309 Green) that effectively captures welding fumes and ultrafine dust particles, contributing to a safe and clean working environment during welding. Thanks to its unique code, 309 Green, you'll know which filter you need when replacing it. Note: Older Plymovent systems may still contain uncoded filters, without a distinguishable color or unique number.

Which welding fume extraction systems is the FCC-50 DuraFilter™ suitable for?

This filter is specially designed for the MFD and SFD.

How effective is the FCC-50 DuraFilter™ at extracting welding fumes?

The FCC-50 DuraFilter™ removes over 99% of ultrafine, toxic welding fume particles, providing maximum protection for welder health.

In which welding processes can you use the FCC-50 DuraFilter™?

This filter is suitable for extraction during MIG/MAG and GMAW welding, TIG welding, flux cored wire welding (FCAW), electrode welding (MMAW), for grinding and polishing of steel and for plasma and autogenous cutting.

Is the FCC-50 DuraFilter™ suitable for intensive use?

No. The FCC-50 DuraFilter™ is suitable for low to medium intensity welding, with a recommended usage limit of three 15 kg MIG/MAG welding spools or 22.5 kg electrodes per month, per fume hood.
