The Midbrook Mist Reducer is a proven way to reduce steam emitted from your parts washer, and can also return condensed mist (in the form of water) to your parts washer. The Midbrook Mist Reducer includes mounting brackets and ductwork to make installation on to your parts washer even easier. With the Midbrook Mist Reducer, you can reduce steam from your parts washer and the need for costly external ductwork is eliminated. The Midbrook Mist Reducer is maintenance friendly; there are virtually no elements that need to be changed.
Reducing the steam from your parts washer is a simple process with the Midbrook Mist Reducer. First, the unit collects coarse solid particles produced by the parts washer. In the second stage, turbulence is generated by the mist reducer, which creates air eddies that propel the smallest droplets from your parts washer into a porous wall where they are trapped and then drained. The mist reducer eliminates the need for expensive filter replacement on your parts washer or frequent cleaning of the parts washer. Airflow in the mist reducer remains consistent at all times, providing a high removal rate of airborne pollutants.
- Blow-off/Cool Down Stage
Midbrook offers a blow-off/cool down upgrade for parts washers. The unit is equipped with a 40HP dual centrifugal blower and custom air manifolds mounted parallel to the spray header of the parts washer. The blower is placed at the discharge end of the parts washer and encased in a sound enclosure, keeping the noise to 85 dba.
The blow off system can remove solution water at a temperature of 140° from all smooth surfaces, pockets, thru holes, etc. This drying system consists of rotary air knives (patent pending) and nozzles designed to operate at factory condition s of 75°F.
The first two indexes are utilized for drying the part and are circulated at high-pressure low CFM airflow into pockets and blind holes of oil pans. The third stage is circulating low-pressure high CFM ambient air at a rate of 1200 CFM. This provides an additional temperature drop to provide an ambient exit surface temperature. Employ this blow-off/cool down upgrade to your parts washer today and improve the quality of your parts.
- Oil Removal
Midbrook can equip any aqueous parts washer with an Extractor II™X-3 to remove oil. The Extractor II™X-3 oil coalescing system removes free floating, dispersed, and mechanically emulsified tramp oils from your parts washer. The unit can be constructed with either stainless or mild steel and is entirely mechanical. Midbrook deploys an air diaphragm pump to draw the oily solution from the parts washer tank, then utilizies the unique plate design of the Extractor II™X-3 to collect droplets of oil and direct them to the surface of the parts washer tank. Once on the surface, the oil can be skimmed and disposed, leaving your parts washer free of emulsified oils. Contact Midbrook today and rid your parts washer of oil buildup with the Extractor II™X-3.
- Filtration
Midbrook offers a variety of chip filtration solutions for your parts washer. Chip filtration is processed by internal drain pans in each tank that channel solution through the chip filter baskets, which feature a 24-mesh stainless steel filter screen. Each filter basket lifts out for easy cleaning, keeping your parts washer free of unwanted debris. The units come in a multitude of sizes to fit any parts washer application.
Single Particulate Filtration:
This unit is constructed with single particulate filtration in each tank, which features a stainless steel cylinder type filter unit with replaceable polyester bag. This option can be added to any wet stage. Filters from 10 to 200 microns are available. Oil filled gauges would be provided to visually monitor vessel pressure for maintenance purposes.
Dual Particulate Filtration (Series):
This unit is constructed with dual series particulate filtration. This option includes two filtration canisters per stage. The unit is plumbed so that the flow is through one filter, then the other filter.
Dual Particulate Filtration (Parallel):
This unit is constructed with dual parallel particulate filtration. This option includes two filtration canisters per stage. The unit is plumbed so that the flow is through both filters at the same time.
Duplex Particulate Filtration:
As an option, this unit could be constructed with duplex particulate filtration. This option includes two filtration canisters. Each of the canisters is capable of handling the pump flow rate independently. The unit is plumbed so that the flow is through one filter or the other.
