Features & highlights
- The FCC-30 DuraFilter is the perfect fit for the Plymovent MFS and SFS self-cleaning welding fume extraction systems.
- The filter medium is made of high-quality cellulose fibres, impregnated with phenolic resin. Complies with dust class M according to DIN EN 60335-2-69.
- The DuraFilter FCC-30 comes standard with a SurfacePlus precoat treatment. This instantly increases the filter's performance from the very first use. Combined with the RoboClean automatic cleaning system, the filter is cleaned in cycles during operation, giving it a long service life before replacement is needed.
- Contaminated dust released during cleaning is collected in the reusable residue barrel of the MFS and SFS, keeping your exposure to contamination to a minimum.

Self-cleaning for maximum uptime
The MFS and SFS are equipped with the RoboClean automatic filter cleaning system. During operation, a pulse of compressed air cleans the FCC-30 DuraFilter™ in sections, so the filter keeps performing at its best without you having to intervene. The released dust falls into the reusable residue barrel, ready to be emptied when needed. A filter status indicator on the unit shows you exactly when the filter itself is saturated and needs replacing. Thanks to the self-cleaning cycle, that moment comes far later than with a disposable filter, which means lower operational costs and less downtime.
The Smarter choice 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. That's why 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
Which option is right for you?
- MFS/SFS Filter Pack (FCC-30): the standard genuine DuraFilter with SurfacePlus precoat and >99.9% filtration efficiency. The right choice for the vast majority of steel welding and grinding applications.
- MFS/SFS High Efficiency Filter Pack (FCC-30 High Efficiency): the upgrade option for even higher filtration of the finest particles, ideal where the most stringent air quality is required. Fits your MFS and SFS seamlessly, just like the standard pack. (Confirm the exact efficiency figure / filter class of the High Efficiency version from the product data sheet before publishing.)
Frequently Asked Questions about the FCC-50 DuraFilter™
What is the FCC-30 DuraFilter™?
The FCC-30 DuraFilter™ is an original Plymovent (replacement) filter that effectively captures welding fumes and ultrafine dust particles, contributing to a safe and clean working environment during welding. Thanks to its unique colour and number, you'll know exactly which filter you need when replacing it. Note: older Plymovent systems may still contain uncoded filters, without a distinguishable colour or unique number.
Which welding fume extraction systems is the FCC-30 DuraFilter™ suitable for?
This filter is specially designed for the self-cleaning MFS and SFS systems.
How effective is the FCC-30 DuraFilter™ at extracting welding fumes?
The FCC-30 DuraFilter™ removes over 99.9% of ultrafine, toxic welding fume particles, providing maximum protection for welder health.
In which welding processes can you use the FCC-30 DuraFilter™?
This filter is suitable for extraction during MIG/MAG and GMAW welding, TIG welding, flux cored wire welding (FCAW), electrode welding (MMAW), and for grinding and polishing of steel.
Is the FCC-30 DuraFilter™ suitable for intensive use?
Yes. Because the MFS and SFS clean the filter automatically with the RoboClean system, the FCC-30 is suitable for medium to high intensity and continuous welding.
What filter class does this product have?
The FCC-30 DuraFilter™ is suitable for dust class M and complies with DIN EN 60335-2-69.
What is the difference between the FCC-30 and the FCC-30 High Efficiency?
Both filters fit the MFS and SFS. The standard FCC-30 offers >99.9% filtration for everyday steel welding and grinding. The FCC-30 High Efficiency captures even finer particles and is the right choice when the most stringent air quality is required.
Is the FCC-30 DuraFilter™ suitable for all types of metalworking?
No, the filter is not suitable for welding or machining aluminium, magnesium, or titanium. You can only use the filter in the Plymovent MFS and SFS systems mentioned above.
What maintenance does the FCC-30 DuraFilter™ require?
Very little. The MFS and SFS clean the filter automatically during operation and collect the released dust in a reusable barrel. When the indicator on the unit shows the filter is saturated, it's time to replace it. When this happens depends on usage.
When should I replace the FCC-30 DuraFilter™?
When it's saturated. You can read this via the indicator on the front of the MFS and SFS extraction systems. The level of saturation depends on usage. Thanks to the automatic self-cleaning, the filter lasts considerably longer than a disposable filter.
Why should I choose a genuine Plymovent filter?
Only a genuine filter guarantees optimal performance, reliability, and safety of your welding fume extraction system. This filter filters perfectly because it has been extensively tested in MFS and SFS systems. It's also very user-friendly: the filter is identified by its colour, unique number, logo, and QR code, so you can quickly and easily reorder with trusted Plymovent quality.
