Abstract
An X-ray film processor comprises a developing station, fixing station, rinsing station and drying station compactly arranged in a casing. Gear driven rollers transport the films continuously from a feed slot at the front of the casing, through the processing and drying stations and out of a discharge slot which faces forwardly but is above and back of the feed slot. The films are discharged onto an illuminated viewing screen located above the developing and fixing stations. The transport rollers are arranged in sets, one for each of the processing stations, which can be readily removed as a unit for cleaning, servicing or replacement. A system for continuously supplying fresh water to the rinsing station during operation prevents entry of contaminants back into the supply line. The drying station is located above the rinsing station and has a single heater and single fan so arranged in cooperation with the transport system as to dry both sides of the films.
