FRED Eco II

Designed for everyday applications, the FRED Eco II is a high-performing fume extraction & filtration kit. Featuring an externally articulated 10’ flexible capture arm that allows for simple repositioning and maintenance, the FRED Eco II is both easy-to-install and affordable. Smoke, dust, and other airborne contaminants are safely captured at source, reducing risk of exposure.

Equipped with a 120V rotary motor starter, the FRED Eco II can be conveniently mounted close to work areas. For applications where the extraction arm needs to be mounted further away from the blower, the remote mounting kit is a popular option.

The FRED Eco II’s high-efficiency 26” filter collects particles as small as 0.5 microns before returning clean air to back into the facility. By capturing, cleaning, and recycling contaminated air, the FRED Eco II works as a heat recovery device, helping to keep your energy costs down.

Recommended Applications

  • Ideal for welding.
  • Ideal for grinding.
  • Ideal for deburring.
  • Ideal for soldering.
  • Not ideal for sanding
  • Not ideal for painting
