■INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the MJ Series Mist Collector. To ensure its long use and operational
safety, read this operation manual carefully before operating the product. After reading the
manual, keep it close at hand so that you can refer to it when necessary.

■ The MJ Series Mist Collector is to be mounted on a machine tool in order to collect water-soluble
mist or *oily mist.
※ If high density mist is drawn in, the MJ unit may not be able to process it completely, causing the mist to leak
from the outlet. Therefore, attach an after filter (option) before collecting high density or oily mist.

■ The MJ unit is not equipped with a protective device for the motor. Thus, power must be supplied
from the machine tool circuit equipped with a protective device. (See page 16 for power connection
details.)

■ To operate the MJ unit separately, provide an electrical component equipped with a protective
device (electromagnetic switch with thermal relay, fuse-less breaker, or earth leakage breaker).

■The installation of optional parts will render the product inapplicable for CE conformity (excluding
the use of ducts, cuffs, or hose clamps).

■The use of non-standard power supply voltage specs will render the product inapplicable for CE
conformity (power supply specs other than 3-phase 200V 50Hz/60Hz or 3-phase 220V 60Hz are
inapplicable).
■The MJ series need a periodical check to maintain the designed performance. (Refer to page 31 for
the periodical check.)

■The manufacturer and dealers are not responsible for accidents or damage due to the following causes.
・Improper operating conditions or usage different from that specified in this manual.

２ Place drain hose in recovery container oil

the same oil as that in the collected mist into the oil pan and therein, sink the drain hose until
more than 100mm in length from its top end is submerged in oil. The length of the drain hose
from drain hole to oil surface of the drain pan should be more than 250mm.

During operation, vacuum (suction force) acts also on the drain port. In order to cancel out
the vacuum, a distance of 250 mm or longer is required between the hose and the recovery
container. The tip of the hose must be placed 100 mm or longer in the oil. Without its tip
being placed in the oil, the drain hose will draw in outside air instead of draining oil.

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).

Waste Oil Disposal

Properly dispose of the waste oil that has accumulated in the recovery tank in accordance with
your company’s regulations, the laws of your country, or the ordinances of your locality.

Handling Of Oil Drain Hose

Important: Inappropriate handling of oil drain hose may cause contamination of the disk,
which may result in decease of blown air volume (i.e. bad suction).

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.

１ Turn on the power for a moment. Check motor rotation direction

Turn on the power and instantaneously turn it off.

２ Check the rotation direction.

If the rotation of the motor has slowed down, check
through the outlet hole that it is rotating clockwise
(arrow direction). If it is rotating in the opposite
direction, return to the section on “Electrical
Wiring”, and interchange the U and W phases of the
three power cords in the terminal box.

Caution:
・ Be sure to wear protective equipment such
as goggles or a mask before checking the
direction of the rotation.
・ Spend as short a time as possible to check Interchange phases U and W
the direction of the motor. Even when the
motor is rotating by inertia, the collected
mist could splash or the dust could be
discharged from the outlet hole. Therefore,
do not look at the outlet hole more than
necessary.
・ All work associated with interchanging the
phases due to the reverse rotation of the
motor must be performed by an authorized
electrician.

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
・To avoid ACCIDENTS: Maintenance work should only be performed by qualified
persons.

・To avoid PERSONAL INJURY: Always wear gloves during inspections and
when replacing parts.

・Before performing any inspection or maintenance service, be sure to turn off the
power of the unit at its source.
Failure to do this could cause electric shock.

■Inspection Precautions
• Be sure to turn off the (primary) power supply at the source before performing an inspection.
• When working at high places, wear protective equipment that is appropriate for the high altitude.

Cyclone Inspection and Cleaning

Following the procedure below, clean the cyclone approximately once a week.
* The inspection and cleaning intervals vary with use conditions, such as the concentration, type,
and amount of mist that is generated, as well as the amount of cutting chips generated.

１ Turn the power off

Turn the power off at the source before performing an
inspection and cleaning.

２ Open the inspection door to inspect (or clean) inside.

Remove the knob bolts, which are securing the
inspection doors in place, and open the two doors from
the side of the unit.
Remove the cutting chips and deposits that have
accumulated inside. Use a shop rag to wipe off any
dirt from the inside of the cyclone.

３ Close the inspection doors.

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.

<To use safely for a long time>

The periodical cleaning of the collection disk in the manner of ① or ② as follows, an appropriate
air volume can be maintained for a long time. (The period differs depending on the condition of
use.)

① Cleaning with tap water or compressed air

･ The collection disk can be cleaned with compressed air or tap water squirting from the cleaning
nozzle.

1. Stop operation.
If interlocked with machining equipment, stop it on the utility side.

2. Connect the hose of compressed air hose or tap water to the cleaning nozzle.
Connect the hose of compressed air hose or tap water to the cleaning nozzle by using a
cleaning kit. (Refer to the page 26.)

3. Start operation and immediately stop it.

Once it started, stop it immediately.

4. Supply compressed air or tap water.

Supply compressed air or tap water while the collection disk is rotating by inertia. (It is about 30
seconds.)

Connect compressed air hose or tap water hose to

Compressed air or tap

water
Collection disc If tap water is used, the post-cleaning
water will intermix with the oil in the
recovery container. If it is necessary to
prevent intermixing, take appropriate
measures such as placing the tip of the
drain hose in a separate recovery
container.

－２３－
 When compressed air or water enters through the cleaning nozzle, the collection disc will start
rotating, and pick up speed gradually. Therefore, it is unnecessary to provide an additional
rotational movement.

5. Check whether air flow volume is recovered.

Resume operation and make sure of the recovery by putting a hand on
air outlet port. (At this time, never look into it. Otherwise, it may

result in an injury.)

•Use tap water and compressed air within the following pressure range:
◆ Tap water: 0.2 to 0.5MPa
◆ Compressed air: 0.3 to 0.5MPa

•The cleaning nozzle has Ｇ1/4″parallel pipe female thread. Use it

for reference when you use another cleaning kit than ours. Do not
start operation with this female threaded pipe being open.
Otherwise, oil leakage will be likely.

- Caution -
If drained oil is recycled to machining equipment, the tip of drain oil hose should be put in another
recovery bin to prevent inclusion of and dilution with tap water.

② Cleaning using detergent

•The collection disk is cleaned by spraying detergent on the
disk.

2. Open the inspection door.

Open either of doors on the side of main body.

3. Start operation and immediately stop it.

Once it started, stop it immediately.

4. Spray detergent aiming at the collection disk.

While the collection disk is rotating by inertia, spray
detergent upward on the collection disk more that 10 times
from the inspection door by using an atomizer. (The collection
disk can not be seen from the inspection door, but as far as
the disk is rotating, the mist of detergent will be absorbed on
the surface of the disk.) Warming the detergent up to about
50℃ may improve the cleaning. Detergent

8. Repeat the procedures from 3 thru 7.
Repeating the procedures from 3 thru 7 a couple of time makes the
cleaning more effective.

9. Check whether air flow volume is recovered.

Make sure of the recovery by putting a hand on air outlet port.
(At this time, never look into it. Otherwise, it may result in an injury.)

10. Supply compressed air.

If air flow volume is not recovered, supply compressed air or tap water
through the cleaning nozzle. (Refer to ① in P23)

- Caution -
If drained oil is recycled to machining equipment, the tip of drain oil hose should be put in another
recovery bin to prevent oil from mixing with detergent.
