VPI Industries MW-1 Cyclone

Vinyl grooves are complex, and debris can become lodged at different angles. The bi-directional motor allows you to scrub and vacuum in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, ensuring you lift stubborn grime from both sides of the groove walls for a more thorough clean.

While the MW-1 Cyclone features a powerful vacuum system, it is designed for professional-grade performance. You should expect a noticeable sound during the vacuum cycle, similar to a standard household vacuum, but it is engineered to be efficient so the cycle time remains short.

Yes, the housing is specifically constructed from waterproof aluminum to prevent damage from cleaning fluids. This design choice ensures that spills or splashes during the cleaning process won't compromise the internal electronics or the structural integrity of the machine.

The Delrin clamp serves two purposes: it securely holds the record in place while the high-torque motor scrubs the surface, and it protects the record label from getting wet during the cleaning process. It is a critical component for ensuring your labels stay dry while the grooves get a deep clean.

The welded stainless steel tank is designed for efficient drainage, but the frequency depends on your cleaning volume. It is best practice to check the drainage level after every 20 to 30 records to ensure the vacuum system maintains its full suction power.

The MW-1 Cyclone is primarily designed for standard 12-inch LPs. If you plan to clean smaller formats, you will need to ensure you have the appropriate platter or adapter accessories, as the standard setup is optimized for full-size vinyl.
