Author Topic: Who knows this Static-vac + PTR unit? Jamie Sanson Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Port Macquarie,NSW, Australia Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-02-2003 08:10 AM                     Hi everyone. Please help: I have been trying to find information on this (what looks like a static-vac and PTR film cleaning system unit) for 6 months here in OZ land, but no one knows of it. This photo is taken from the Cinematografia Dec 2002 magazine. Has anybody seen this unit?  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-02-2003 08:39 AM                        Might that have been a unit made by FilmLab Engineering in Australia, known as the "Cleanmaster"? Or it could have been a custom design by a theatre circuit.  |  IP: Logged Jamie Sanson Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Port Macquarie,NSW, Australia Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-03-2003 05:15 AM                     John, there is a PTR cleaning unit called the "cleanmaster" made by FilmLab, but they didn't make this one and they don't make them with a static vac unit. The magazine article which relates to the picture was in relation to a new multiplex in Barcelona opened by UCI.Cinesa. Projection equipment was supplied by Cinemeccanica and installed by Suministros-Kelonik. The guys I have talked to say that it could be made in the US somewhere? Does anyone out there have any other ideas??  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I've never heard of it.  |  IP: Logged Jamie Sanson Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Port Macquarie,NSW, Australia Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-03-2003 07:21 PM                     Michael if only I could see the label than I would be right. But the magazine picture is all I have; I have never see this unit before anywhere. I am just hoping someone out there has seen it or recognise the craftsmanship of the unit.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

Maybe even the photographer himself knows more details about the cleaning device.  |  IP: Logged Jamie Sanson Film Handler Posts: 33 From: Port Macquarie,NSW, Australia Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-04-2003 05:52 AM                     Hi Bob The magazine is produced by Cinemeccanica in Milano, Italy.
