Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When to replace the FCC-50?
The FCC-50 filter's replacement is indicated by an indicator on the front of the MFD and SFD units. It is designed for low to medium-intensity welding, with a recommended usage limit of three 15 kg spools of MIG/MAG welding wire or 22.5 kg of electrodes per month, per extractor.
What is the lifespan of the Cart-D premium plus?
The Cart-D Premium Plus offers excellent mechanical strength thanks to its use of bi-component polyester fibres. This design allows for intense and frequent cleaning through compressed air back-pulsing, meaning its lifespan is rarely limited by mechanical wear. Instead, the stickiness of the application determines the service life. Dry, non-sticky applications, such as dry welding fume, can achieve lifespans of over 8,000 hours of operation, and even longer in some cases. Sticky applications, such as oily welding fumes, can significantly reduce lifespan. If the service life drops below 2,000 hours due to excessive oil, Plymovent recommends using the OilShield. This system doses small quantities of limestone to absorb oil and extend filter life.
Can the Cart-D premium plus be used for other applications than welding and grinding and cutting?
Yes, the FCC-50, when used with the MFD or SFD, is suitable for most non-explosive airborne dust applications, specifically for dust classes L and M.
