Vacuum Pick Up System

This system is designed for various conservation practices, will pick up smaller fragments of wood, metal, gem stones, ceramics, paper and paint flakes. One feature is you do not have to hold your finger over a small hole (as with other systems) to create a vacuum. This is better for conservators to manipulate fragments into awkward positions, then simply press the button to release the fragment. The PTFE rigid cups will prevent pieces with wet adhesives sticking to the vacuum cup when you wish to release the fragment such as paint flakes.

The vacuum pump is very small, quiet in operation and lightweight and consumes only 5W of power. An internal filter on the inlet ensures that no particles can enter the pump mechanism and an outlet filter ensures that no particles created by the pump are released into the surrounding air. This makes the pump suitable for class 1 clean rooms. Vacuum pressure is sufficient to lift 150 grams weight and is adjustable from maximum to very soft pressure. Spare inlet filters are also available.

This high quality wand is manufactured in PTFE, a fluoropolymer resin with exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemicals and corrosion. This allows a high level of cleanliness to be maintained. The unique wand control value ensures reliable suction and instantaneous release. Vacuum is continuously drawn until the button is pressed (press to release). Suction cups are easily changed without dismantling the wand itself. Silicone suction cups are included in diameters 5, 8, 11 & 15mm. An optional set of rigid PTFE suction cups in the same diameters is also available.
