Dust Extraction Unit MIPEC DEU-400
>10 kPa vacuum · 1.5 m³/min air flow · HEPA filtration · Automatic spindle-synchronized operation
Product detailed description
Dedicated high-vacuum extraction for PCB milling and drilling.
The MIPEC DEU-400 is a dust extraction unit designed and manufactured by MIPEC specifically for the 4MILL range of PCB milling machines.
It removes dust, chips and fine particles generated during PCB milling and drilling and can operate automatically together with the milling machine spindle.
Designed for PCB Milling Dust
Milling and drilling FR4 circuit boards generates a mixture of glass-fibre, epoxy and copper particles. Mechanical machining of glass-fibre reinforced composites can also produce fine inhalable and respirable particles, making effective dust control an important part of the PCB milling process.
The DEU-400 provides the vacuum source for the integrated dust extraction systems used in MIPEC 4MILL machines, capturing machining debris close to the working area during milling and drilling.

Designed & Manufactured by MIPEC
The DEU-400 is engineered specifically for the MIPEC 4MILL range, providing direct compatibility with the dust extraction systems integrated into the milling machines.
Key Benefits
Automatic Operation With the Milling Spindle
The DEU-400 can be controlled automatically by the connected MIPEC 4MILL machine.
The extraction unit starts together with the milling spindle when machining begins and switches off when the spindle stops. This removes the need for separate manual switching during normal PCB milling and drilling operations.
Extraction Only When Needed
Spindle-synchronized operation means the DEU-400 runs automatically during machining and stops when extraction is no longer required.
HEPA Filtration
Moving dust away from the milling tool is only part of the extraction process. Fine particles also need to be retained rather than simply redistributed into the surrounding workspace.
The DEU-400 uses HEPA filtration to capture fine particles from the extracted air and support cleaner laboratory operation.
Capture Dust at the Source
High-vacuum extraction combined with fine-particle filtration helps control machining dust close to where it is generated and reduces the amount of debris spreading around the machine and laboratory workspace.
Purpose-Built 3D-Printed Chassis
The DEU-400 is not a generic extraction unit adapted to PCB milling. It has been developed by MIPEC specifically as part of the 4MILL PCB prototyping system.
Its chassis is manufactured using 3D printing, allowing the enclosure to be purpose-built around the components required for a compact, dedicated PCB milling extraction unit.
Made for the 4MILL System
From the enclosure to automatic machine control, the DEU-400 is designed as a dedicated companion to MIPEC 4MILL PCB milling machines.
