Evolution No Smoke vacuum arms in the service of cultural heritage protection

The La Venaria Reale Conservation and Restoration Center: an international excellence in preserving cultural property

The La Venaria Reale Conservation and Restoration Center (CCR) represents one of the most advanced scientific and educational poli in Europe in the field of restoration and conservation. Established in 2005 within the 18th-century stables of the Savoy Palace, the Center has become a world reference over the years thanks to the unique combination of expertise, technologies and a synergistic model between the public and private sectors.

Over the course of two decades, extraordinary works have passed through its facilities: from the Buddha statues of the Museum of Oriental Art to Donatello's crucifix, from the mummies of the Egyptian Museum of Turin to Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe silkscreens and Napoleon's chariot. Today the JRC has 66 specialists, 21 active research projects and more than 400 restored works, supported by cutting-edge technology such as Italy's largest CT scan, capable of analyzing artifacts up to two meters high.

The expansion with the new scientific hub "Heritage Research"

To support the growing demand for advanced diagnostics and education, the Center will soon start work on "Heritage Research," a new scientific hub dedicated to innovation, 3D technologies, preventive conservation and development of new solutions in collaboration with companies and research organizations.

In a model of excellence where science and art dialogue every day, air quality and operator protection also play a central role. This is precisely where Coral systems come in.

The need for professional aspiration in restoration laboratories

Restoration of cultural property requires extremely delicate interventions, often carried out with the help of solvents, resins, fine dust and substances that are potentially dangerous if inhaled. In JRC's laboratories, where restorers, chemists, art historians and cultural heritage diagnosticians work, it is essential to ensure:

• maximum protection for operators
• absence of environmental contamination
• a controlled and stable microclimate
• Absolute protection of works during restoration phases

High-performance localized suction systems are installed to meet these needs. Prominent among these are the Coral Evolution No Smoke restoration suction arms.

Coral Evolution No Smoke: the ideal solution for restoration laboratories

I Coral Evolution No Smoke are suction arms designed for maximum maneuverability, high uptake efficiency and stability over time-allcritical factors in professional laboratories and cultural heritage conservation activities.

Why does the JRC use Coral arms in its laboratories?

1. Precise and localized suction

The hood's aerodynamic shape and modular structure allow it to capture vapors, dust and micro-particles directly at the point of emission. This reduces dispersion into the environment to almost zero, a key requirement in the preservation of delicate works.

2. Versatility in restoration operations

The Evolution No Smoke series is available in different configurations:

• Wall-mounted (such as those in use at the JRC)
• bench
• with arm suspended on column
• With antistatic or chemical-resistant piping

This allows the system to be adapted to the needs of each laboratory: wood, metals, paper, textiles, archaeological artifacts and polychrome surfaces.

3. Safety and security of personnel

Restorers often work long hours on works that require solvents, chemical reagents or microabrasives. Adopting laboratory vacuum arms such as Evolution No Smoke dramatically reduces exposure to harmful agents.

4. Integration with advanced filtration systems

Coral arms can be connected to activated carbon filters, HEPA filters, suction benches or centralized systems, ensuring clean and safe air at all times, complying with current regulations.

Innovation and heritage protection: a shared commitment

The Venaria Center is not just a place where works are restored, but a true citadel of science applied to art. Its professionals work on international projects ranging from the flooring of the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem to collaborations with Colombia, Kosovo, Egypt, Kuwait, Japan and Uzbekistan.

In this context of global excellence, Coral is proud to contribute to operator safety and quality of work through reliable and technologically advanced solutions.

Coral and the restoration industry: a collaboration that looks to the future

The use of Evolution No Smoke restoration suction arms in JRC laboratories reinforces Coral 's role as a reliable partner for:

• museums
• conservation centers
• universities and research institutes
• diagnostic laboratories and museum poli
• professional restorers

With the new "Heritage Research" hub on the way, the synergy between Coral suction technologies and the needs of modern restoration will continue to grow, contributing to the preservation of the world's cultural heritage.
