Abstract
A non-contact cleaner for a paint spray equivalent having a housing with an open top with a venturi opening. A ring is contained the housing in a space downwardly from the entry opening thus forming a chamber between the ring and the venturi opening adapted to receive the paint spray tip to be cleaned. A plurality of circumferently spaced air nozzles created downward airflow through the housing while a solvent nozzle contained in the housing sprays solvent onto the paint tip to be cleaned.

An integrated media separator for a paint spray cleaner comprising:
- a base;
- a funnel positioned in the base creating a baffle between the funnel and the base, wherein the funnel is configured to receive a residual cleaning agent from a cleaning assembly of the paint spray cleaner;
- a plurality of air nozzles positioned in an interior of the funnel, wherein the air nozzles are configured to expel air to direct the residual cleaning agent downwards through the funnel;
- a collection area positioned in the base, wherein the collection area is configured to collect the residual cleaning agent from the funnel and allow air to be removed from the residual cleaning agent;
- and
- a vent integrated with the base, wherein the vent is configured to allow the air to escape from the integrated media separator;
- wherein the air is directed by the baffle from the collection area to the vent.
