The MiJET standalone unit, powered by air, is used near CNC machines or inspection stations to clean oily residue and chips from parts, then captures that residue with vacuum into a container for recycling. A specially designed valve allows an operator to pull the trigger on an air nozzle which simultaneously actuates both an air jet and suction. The air jet allows localized cleaning of parts, while the suction pulls the atomized fluid particles and chip residue downward into a removable container below.
The typical method used in shops is spraying air from an air nozzle over parts, creating oily aerosol which gets inhaled and eventually settles all over the floor.
MiJET solves four immediate problems over this typical cleaning method:
- unhealthy oil-ladened air is captured,
- accidents are reduced from slipping and falling on oily floors,
- cleaning time and supplies are reduced, and
- expensive coolants are captured for recycling.
All of these problems are solved with no electricity required, just an existing shop airline! Portable, with a small footprint, the unit can easily be installed next to each CNC machine while still making valuable shop floor space available for other operations.
Options include low noise air nozzles, parts baskets to hold various part sizes during cleaning, and castors for easy relocation. MiJET is also completely "Made in the USA."
