Designed for use with high and low vacuum sources, these suction devices suck air downward through the suction platen.  Thanks to a specialized internal design, air is drawn uniformly across the entire surface of the suction platen, with no uneven or dead spots. 

Square suction platens come in two variations; side-venting, which can be set on a table for use and has convenient portability between work sites, and bottom-venting which can be permanently mounted inset in a tabletop. 

Each platen comes with disposable twill screening attached to the surface, a piece of vinyl diaphragm used for masking, and an adapter to connect to the desired vacuum source. State what vacuum source is being used in the notes to ensure the correct adapter is included with the device.  Standard vacuum sources are considered to be the , or the MSC Vacuum Control Console.  Vacuum sources are sold separately.  Non-standard vacuum sources may require an additional charge for an adapter.

Note:  Some sizes may have up to 4 weeks of lead time.  for current lead times.  Sold out devices can be special ordered; contact Museum Services Corporation.
