CONT

Today suction table treatments are generally considered alternatives to standard paper conservation techniques. These would include flattening, stain reduction, lining, etc. The suction table is composed of a series of stainless steel meshes, that allow for air and moisture be pulled through by a vacuum. The table is covered by a Plexiglas dome and treatments are often carried out through four access portals. A separate console houses the vacuum pump that provides the suction for the table and the controls, including the power switch motor speed control + vacuum gauge (measuring the vacuum in inches of water + kilopascals).
