301675 - Miller FilTek XL Replacement Filter for FILTAIR 215 - MERV 16

High-Efficiency Filtration for Industrial Welding Environments

The Miller 301675 FilTek XL Replacement Filter is a critical maintenance component engineered specifically for the Miller FILTAIR 215 fume extraction system. In the realm of industrial hygiene and welder safety, the efficiency of particulate capture is paramount. This filter cartridge utilizes Miller's proprietary FilTek XL technology, which represents a significant advancement over traditional cellulose or synthetic blend media. By employing an ultra-thin surface webbing of tiny fibers, the filter is designed to capture weld fumes on the surface of the media rather than allowing them to penetrate deep into the filter substrate.

This surface-loading characteristic is essential for maintaining optimal airflow and static pressure within the extraction unit. Traditional depth-loading filters often suffer from rapid clogging as particles become trapped within the fiber matrix, leading to a swift decline in suction performance and frequent replacement intervals. The FilTek XL design mitigates this issue, ensuring that the FILTAIR 215 operates at peak efficiency for longer durations. The filter boasts a MERV 16 rating, the highest class for general ventilation air cleaners, making it capable of capturing at least 95% of particles in the 0.3 to 1.0 micron range. This level of filtration is crucial for trapping hazardous submicron particles commonly found in weld fumes, such as hexavalent chromium, manganese, and zinc oxide.

The 301675 replacement kit is comprehensive, addressing not just the filtration needs but also the safety of the maintenance personnel. It includes the main filter cartridge, a heavy-duty plastic disposal bag, and eight magnetic pegs. The magnetic pegs are a thoughtful addition designed to assist in the removal of the used filter, minimizing direct contact with hazardous particulate matter. The disposal bag ensures that captured contaminants are contained during the change-out process, preventing re-release into the facility environment. For facilities prioritizing regulatory compliance (OSHA/ACGIH) and equipment longevity, the genuine Miller 301675 filter is the only approved replacement for the FILTAIR 215 unit.
