Stimvak Limited, an established manufacturer of industrial cleaning equipment commissioned the design and development of a domestic cleaner incorporating their patented water cyclone technology, a method for adding water to the airflow stream to dampen the collected material so that it can be poured down a drain - without releasing dust molecules back into atmosphere whilst doing so. The system was already proven on their existing industrial cleaners.
The design process of just under one year took the design from blank page to full CAD assembly to enable engagement with major plastics manufacturers, with assembly and test to be done in-house. The project was unfortunately abandoned at the commit to tooling/pre-production stage, so an initial functional prototype was never achieved.
