Conservation equipment and the word portable doesn’t usually go together. However, we know conservators often require tools to get to hard to reach areas or visit ‘on-site’ locations for the task at hand so we’ve picked our best suction tools and lighting equipment that can be used for ‘portable conservation’.
What would you find useful?
Suction Tools - The Miniature Suction Wand
The Miniature Suction wand was first custom built for for accessing restricted locations that require conservation treatment. Using a connecting hose for a suction source, this wand makes a very versatile and adaptable tool.
As the manufacturers of all Willard tools, we can produce these wands in different sizes to suit your individual requirements.
The model shown in the photo is produced in the size 150mm x 60mm and is available to purchase online here.
Suction Tools - The Miniature Suction Platform
While our large suction tables are an invaluable piece of equipment for most studios, sometimes, a smaller suction plate is needed for localised treatments while eliminating the need to remove the canvas from its stretcher.
These portable platforms have been developed mainly for work on easel paintings, but can be used for a range of treatments. They can be supplied as free standing units or with a floor stand for vertical positioning or fully integrated within a workbench.
The Miniature Suction Platform is available in either heated or un-heated specifications, the unheated version is thin yet still very strong. The heated suction platform model contains the unique and reliable Willard heating system and is naturally a little wider.
This equipment requires a Suction Source to be operated, the 0.75kw model is recommended as most suitable for most platform applications, please visit the exhauster (suction source) section for further details.
