Function
Suction machines provide stable platforms during treatments such as manipulating inserts, adjusting distortions, control during washing, as well as water treatments like spot leafcasting, stain removal, tape removal, vellum treatments, and aqueous linings. Clean dry blotters are placed between the object and the suction platen to facilitate the treatments.

The MSC Suction Table has low installation cost and excellent after sale service. It is low maintenance - simply clean the surfaces and drain any accumulated water from inside the platen. These machines draw a uniform vacuum on the entire working surface. There are no 'dead spots' having no suction. The MSC Suction Platen is constructed completely of aluminum with a perforated top. An included removable polypropylene twill screen increases airflow under the object. The screen is easily cleaned or inexpensively replaced. The entire unit resists abrasion and corrosion.

What is Crossflow? Crossflow is an exclusive feature of the MSC PCT-E. When crossflow is activated, it directs air upward to the top surface of the platen while maintaining a vacuum overall. For certain treatments, this circulation of air allows drying action from the underside of the object even while the object is completely covered.
