Keeping a genuine M-Class cartridge in your FumeVault matters for maintaining real-world capture performance as Australia's welding fume exposure limits tighten under the WES-to-WEL transition, effective 1 December 2026 — the certified 99.9%+ efficiency only holds if the filter itself is in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eM-Class certified\u003c\/strong\u003e — tested to IFA-BGIA standards, filtering toxic industrial dust at greater than 99.9% efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge filtration surface area\u003c\/strong\u003e — 7–8 m² per single cartridge for strong dust-holding capacity between services\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine FumeVault fit\u003c\/strong\u003e — the same horizontal cartridge used across the whole FumeVault EC range\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctable\u003e\r\n\u003cthead\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eØ325\/4PS1-H400-M\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e325mm\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e400mm\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eFiltration surface area\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e7–8 m² per cartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eClassification\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eM-Class (IFA-BGIA certified)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eFiltration efficiency\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026gt;99.9%\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquipment compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis cartridge fits the entire Weldmax FumeVault EC range:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\r\n\u003ctable\u003e\r\n\u003cthead\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eFumeVault EC Single (0.55\/0.75kW)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e1 horizontal cartridge\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eFumeVault EC Dual \/ Dual W3 (1.1\/2.2kW)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e2 horizontal cartridges\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.weldingsupply.com.au\/products\/weldmax-fume-extract-w-single-160mm-x-3m-arm-xhd\/\"\u003eFumeVault Single Arm\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.weldingsupply.com.au\/products\/weldmax-fume-extract-w-dual-160mm-x-3m-arm-xhd\/\"\u003eFumeVault Dual Arm\u003c\/a\u003e units use 2 x horizontal cartridges each (24 m² total filtration area).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich media option should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Standard M-PES suits general welding fume and dust.
