Title: Expert exhauster
Post by: trebor on April 12, 2016, 12:41:28 PM

I have a few expert exhaust stations for removing cure plastisol from textiles. Where can I find replacement parts? More specifically the screened arm where it vacuums away the fluid.

I have one of these laying around somewhere without the top piece as well.  Albatross makes them, so you'd probably want to start there if you haven't already.

Let me know if you track the part down, I may pick one up myself.

From Albatross:

Thanks for contacting us.  The Expert Exhauster was discontinued around 12+
years ago.  We no longer have any spare parts available for this.  It was
replaced by the SuperKleen Venta 2 Exhauster (which has now been replaced by
the Venta 2M).  Attached is a diagram showing the Venta 2 parts.  While some
parts are interchangeable with the Expert Exhauster & Venta 2, the arm with
the screen is different.  Possibly you could find a way to make this work,
but, it would take customization.

Figures as much, thanks for the heads up.

your expert exhauster looks new compared to ours.

we have the one with a round screen, its in need of help.

i think ours is from 1996 or so - about once a year i take it apart and clean out the blower.

You know that folks will now want to see it! You are such a tease.
Take out your phone, snap and post a pic. (If you can't figure out how to do it, ask one of the young'uns, LOL!)

There are a few DIY posts from the past. Here's one, and I think that binkspot has something as well.
