MSC Small Suction Devices

Small Suction Devices

Suction devices are available in many sizes and for various treatments. Each MSC Suction Device is designed to fit a specific need. Each one easily connects to vacuum pumps, vacuum cleaners, or the MSC Control Console for use. Each device comes with a twill polyethylene screen, a vacuum diaphragm, and a hose for connection to the specified vacuum source.

0801 Manuscript Suction Device
a.k.a. Stealth Sucker
An effective suction tool for stain removal, tape removal, aqueous treatments, drying operations, spot casting and much more. The Stealth Sucker features a thin beveled edge that slides under the object without disturbing fragile objects, large documents or damaged pieces of art.

0802 - 0803 Book Suction Machine
The Book Suction Machine consists of a thin, wedge-shaped suction platen and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) tabletop lectern to hold the book. The suction platen is available for sale separately. The book suction platen’s thinnest edge measures 1/16 inch thick (2 mm). This allows the platen to slip far into the spleen for treatments.

0804 Hand Held Suction Device
A small suction device designed to fit in the palm of your hand. Useful for controlled vacuum treatments in confined locations. Manufactured of anodized aluminum with stainless steel perforated screen.

The Table Mounted Suction Device mounts into a worktable or it can be used in the palm of your hand. Table can be constructed to any size specification. Please inquire.

0807 Fritted Glass Disk
A glass funnel with a fritted top of superfine porosity. The suction surface diameter is 92 mm (2.33 inches). An optional support table is available. Please inquire.

0808 Small Square Suction Platens
Designed for use with high and low vacuum sources, these suction devices suck air downward, through the suction platen. Standard hose connection is 3.81 cm (1-1/2 inches). Please specify if another hose size is used. Custom sizes available, please inquire.

0822 and 0825 Thin Edge Suction Devices
For suction treatments under stretcher bars, this design evolved from a great idea originated by Robert Proctor. Dimensions for the 0822: 12 x 12 x 1/8 inches thick (304 x 304 x 32 mm thick) , and for the 0825: 6 x 12 x 1/8 (152 x 304 x 32 mm). Weight approx. 1 lb (.45 kg). Solvent resistant, each suction platen is constructed of stainless steel while the suction plenum is made of aluminum. Different size hoses can attach to the plenum. Tripod sold separately

An excellent vacuum source for all Small Suction Devices. The Gast 1023 or Gast 1423 vacuum pump comes installed in a noise reducing cabinet. Easy operation uses a foot pedal switch to turn the pump on and off. Able to be used with water and small amounts of solvent thanks to a system of fluid traps and filters. Each vacuum pump cabinet includes casters, an exhaust hose, a foot controlled electrical switch, noise-reducing material inside the cabinet, dual fluid collection containers, water trap, and quick-connect hose fittings.
