Suction Point by Alan Buchanan

A small area, high pressure machine ideal for the removal of pressure sensitive tape adhesive and for small stain removal. The suction point is let into the centre of a stainless steel surface of 770mm x 470mm (30" x 18"). The vacuum surface measures 100mm x 100mm and is of sintered polyethylene. If required the whole stainless steel worktop can be lifted from the machine to stand in a fume cupboard or on a larger work surface. The vacuum pump will create a vacuum of up to 850 millibars or 85% of a pure vacuum. The pump is a Gast 1023 oil free, rotary vane pump, 0.5 H.P. Single phase.

As with the larger Buchanan Vacuum table the ‘Suction Point’ incorporates an integral light box to assist in making an even dyed pulp infill or for accurate repairs.
