Names Explained Name Purpose Inlet Draws oil mist by way of the rotational movement of the fan motor. Separates and collects large cutting chips contained in the air stream that is Cyclone drawn in. Collection disc Collects the oil mist that spins along with the cyclone. Inducer Straightens the clean air that has passed the collection disc into a uniform flow.
3.Outline The air and oil mist that enter from the inlet port pass through the cyclone, collection disc, and the fan, becoming clean air and being discharged outside. [Mist collecting flow] ① Cyclone :Separates and collects large cutting chips contained in the air stream that is drawn in.

Starting/Stopping When the unit is operated together with a machine tool, it must be started and stopped at the equipment. In the case of use of MJ alone, it should be operated by electrical equipment that is provided with protection devices (such as pushbutton switch with an overload protection device, fuse-less breaker or earth leakage breaker).
Test Run (Motor Rotation Direction Check) Because the unit operates a motor with a three-phase power supply, its rotational direction can be reversed, depending on how it is wired. Make sure that the motor rotates clockwise (arrow direction) after the unit is installed or if any electrical work has been performed by your company.
6. MAINTENANCE Make sure to read and understand the following warnings and cautions before performing maintenance. WARNING ! ・MOVING PARTS! To avoid SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY: ALWAYS TURN OFF the POWER and wait for the rotation to stop completely BEFORE opening the cover. CAUTION !...
Collection Disc Cleaning Check every day for any changes in the flow rate and any leakage of mist blowing out of the outlet hole. The collection disc has a self-cleaning function. However, if the flow rate decreases or a mist leakage from the outlet hole is observed, it may be caused by a dirty collection disc. In that case, blow compressed air from the cleaning nozzle or water pressure from the tap water to clean the collection disc.
