Introduction

Developer & Fixer
Replenishment
Mini-Medical Series processors are designed to operate in either “Batch” or “Replenish-
ment” mode. As such, replenishment chemicals may be replenished as necessary, with tank
overflow being directed into a drain or collection container for disposal, or recycled until
exhausted, then discarded and fresh chemicals installed. For additional information refer to
the Operation and Maintenance sections of this manual.
Anti-Crystallization
To prevent the build-up of chemicals on the processing rollers, an anti-crystallization or
“Jog” feature is built into all Mini-Medical processors.
This feature automatically runs the drive system at process speed for 20 seconds every 4
minutes, allowing fresh chemistry to be washed over the air-exposed rollers, effectively
preventing crystallization of chemistry on the roller surfaces.
Wash System
The film being processed is washed in the wash tank before entering the dryer. The wash
water solenoid is actuated during the processing cycle and refreshes the water in the wash
tank with tempered water from an external source.
“No Plumbing’’
System (Optional)
The available “No Plumbing” wash water recirculation system P/N 9992305003 (115 VAC)
or P/N 9992305004 (230VAC) allows the installation of Mini-Medical processors without
external plumbing connections.
When using this option, wash water is recirculated from a 7 gallon reservoir, to the proces-
sor, and then back into the 7 gallon reservoir.
Processing chemistry (developer & fixer) is recirculated through each respective process-
ing tank and replenishment container until its activity level is no longer satisfactory, at
which time it is drained and replaced.
