PAPERBOY & BIGBOY

Vacuum Systems: N.A

The PAPERBOY features a 3/4 hp single piston pump connected to a high density polyethylene holding chamber, which never rusts; it is easy to clean and is rated for a full vacuum. Roll out the materials and connect the hoses and it's ready to use on any flat waterproof table or surface up to 40" x 70'. The BIGBOY model comes with a twin piston pump for double flow capacity per minute.
 

Hydropulper and Mixer

N.A.

We have been using the heavy duty Garrett Hydropulper (bast model) at Magnolia on a daily basis for about five years. It has held up very well and performed admirably. We use it for making pulps that need not be beaten and for pigmenting cotton and abaca pulps. Versatility makes this piece of equipment ideal for any papermaking studio. The Rehydrator is designed for rehydrating linters and other pre-processed fibers. The Processor works with bast and other native fibers.
Studio models: Portable models: 895.00 for the Processor (bast), 445.00 for the Processor, 695.00 for the Rehydrator (linters), 395.00 for the Rehydrator
 

Pulp Sprayer

$135.00 / ea --- w/compressor $525.00

A very fast way to apply pulp to porous surfaces, spraying any fiber at up to one and one half gallons of wet pulp per minute. Pulp is pulled into a lightweight gun from a remote hopper. Spray width and volume are adjustable. To reverse the flow, simply cover the tip with your finger and knots and clogs flow back into the hopper.
 

Pump Sprayer

$18.00 / ea

We have tested many pressurized sprayers and have found this to be the most durable and versatile. Used to keep works in progress wet with its gentle spray setting or to cut freshly formed or pressed sheets with its sharp powerful stream.
 

Stainless Steel Sieve

$18.00 / ea

Great for straining pulp or for making circular paper 11" in diameter, three fine, medium and coarse removable screens.
 

Plastic Pulp Pot

$2.00 / ea, 8" diameter

Good for pouring, scooping and general use in the paper studio.
 
 

Plastic Colanders

$1.50 / 8" --- $2.50 / 10" --- $3.75 / 14"

These inexpensive, brightly colored colanders are perfect for straining and rinsing most types of pulp. We have been using them for years and think they are indispensable. We use these colanders for rinsing cooked Kozo and pulps that have started to go bad, also for thickening up sculpture pulp and for emptying vats to catch fiber before it goes down the drain.
