Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When to Replace the FCC-36 Filter?
The DraftMax downdraft table is equipped with a differential pressure gauge (manometer) that indicates when the FCC-36 filter needs to be replaced. A rising pressure reading signals that the filter is becoming clogged and should be changed to maintain optimal airflow and performance.
What are other applications for the FCC-36?
While the FCC-36 is primarily designed for welding fumes and grinding/cutting applications, it can also be used for most non-explosive airborne dusts in combination with the DraftMax downdraft table. The filter is suitable for dust classified as dust class L or M, making it versatile for a wide range of industrial dust collection needs.
