Abstract
A replenisher supply device for photosensitive planographic printing plate processing apparatus, the supply device being arranged independently of each photosensitive planographic printing plate processing apparatus, which includes: a unit for opening a seal for a processing replenisher contained in each of containers; a tank for receiving the processing replenisher from the container; sensors for detecting the levels of the processing replenisher in each tank; and piping for supplying the processing replenisher from each tank to sucking inlets of processing replenisher supply pumps which are arranged in each photosensitive planographic printing plate processing apparatus body. Accordingly, the replenishers and water can be supplied to a plurality of photosensitive planographic printing plate processing apparatus by a reduced number of replenisher supply devices. In addition, when each solution level has reached its minimum level, the power supply of a replenishment controller is disconnected, thereby preventing pump failure by operating the pumps without sufficient replenishers.
