Automatic developing machine for color photographic sensitive material

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To enhance development processing capacity without water rinse, to raise refreshing ratio of a processing soln. with a small replenishing amt., and to prevent deterioration of the processing soln. due lapse of time by arranging a color developing bath, a bleaching bath, fixing bath, and a stabilizing bath in succession in accordance with the advancing direction of a photosensitive material to install the processing baths of an automatic developing machine, and setting a volume of each bath to <=50l. CONSTITUTION:A color negative film 102 taken out from a magazine 103 is fed from the inlet 105 to the main body of the automatic developing machine 104, passed through the color developing bath 106, the bleaching bath 107, the fixing bath 108, the first stabilizing bath 109A, and the second stabilizing bath 109B to automatically process it, and passed through a drying zone 110, and it is taken out from the outlet 111 of the main body. The temp. of the bath 106 is controlled with a fan 113 in a cooling chamber 112 in accordance with the detection temp. of a temp. sensor 115 without using cooling water. Heating is executed by using a large capacity heater 117 and a small capacity heater 118. Since the volume of the processing soln. of each bath is set to <=50l, the refreshing ratio of the processing solns. can be enhanced with the small replenishing amt., and deterioration of the solns. due lapse of time can be prevented.
