FS640: Model-Vac® Cordless Vacuum
The Model-Vac® is a handheld, cordless vacuum engineered with the perfect suction strength for hobbyists. It is powerful enough to lift loose, unglued landscaping materials—like static grass, turf, and flock—without pulling up the items you’ve already secured with adhesive.
The standout feature of the Model-Vac is its ability to reclaim material. Because the vacuum is designed for clean operation, the excess grass it collects can be emptied from the hopper and reused, saving you money and reducing waste on large projects.
Key Features for Precision Cleanup
Calibrated Suction: Specifically tuned to pick up loose debris while leaving "Static-Tac" or "Tuft-Tac" secured items perfectly in place.
Ergonomic Handheld Design: Light and easy to maneuver around delicate scenery, buildings, and rolling stock.
Cordless Portability: Runs on battery power (not included), allowing you to reach deep into your layout without dragging a power cord across your scenery.
Material Reclamation: Features an easy-to-empty chamber that keeps collected material clean so you can pour it right back into your applicator.
Narrow Access: The included Vac-Tube allows you to get into tight spots between tracks, behind buildings, and inside forest thickets.
What’s Included in the Box?
The FS640 kit comes with everything needed for precision landscape maintenance:
Vac-Handle: The main power unit and motor.
Vac-Tube: For targeted cleanup in small or hard-to-reach areas.
Vac-Funnel: For wider coverage on open fields and meadows.
Collection Screens (SM, M, LG): Multiple screen sizes to filter different grades of material.
Instructions: Detailed guide on maintenance and best practices.
Best Practices for Scenery Maintenance
Wait for the Dry: Always wait until your adhesive (like Static-Tac™) is 100% dry before vacuuming. If the glue is tacky, the vacuum will pull up your neatly standing grass.
Screen Selection: Use the smaller screens for 2mm and 4mm grass, and the larger screens for 7mm and 12mm fibers to ensure maximum airflow and collection efficiency.
Regular Maintenance: Empty the collection chamber frequently to keep the motor running at peak efficiency and to keep your different grass colors/lengths from getting mixed.

The Pro-Level Finishing Touch
The difference between a "messy" layout and a "museum-quality" one often comes down to the cleanup. The FS640 Model-Vac® ensures your ballasted tracks are clear and your meadows are crisp, all while paying for itself by recycling your expensive static grass fibers.
Keep your layout pristine and your material costs low with the FS640 Model-Vac®.
