COLENTA INDX 900E

category: film processor

COLENTA INDX 900E IS THE MOST COMPACT DESKTOP PROCESSOR, CAPABLE TO PROVIDE ALL ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATIC PROCESSING OF PHOTOMATERIALS IN SMALL LABORATORIES AND PRODUCTION PREMISES.

The unit allows the saving of money due to the energy saving characteristics and also provides the fulfillment of requirements on the environmental protection and utilization of spent chemical reagents.
Processor COLENTA 900E, reliable and quality equipment, is an obligatory attribute of modern radiographic laboratory.

USABILITY
• Due to its small area of 64 x 91cm only, INDX900E is rather compact, easy transportable and allows saving the space on the floor or on the desk.
• Function of automatic solutions replenishment ensures the convenient and efficient operation. The possibility is provided for the pre-setting of required volumes of replenishing solutions depending on the film type and exposure value.
• Differing from many other compact processors, INDX900E determines the area (but not the length) of material developed which reduces the consumption of developing and fixing solutions.
• At long intervals in the operation the system automatically passes into the standby mode, de-energizing the drive, fan and heater of drying chamber. The full cycle of processing is launched by one pushing of the button. It ideally suits for the application in the systems with alternating mode of loading.

RELIABLE OPERATION
• In order to provide the reliable operation in INDX the same high-quality components like in more powerful processors COLENTA INDX are used.
• The thermostat with microprocessor control, water heat exchanger and developer circulation system provide the constant developing temperature with accuracy of ± 0,3°C.
• Drying with warm air provides the optimum quality of the film surface.

EFFICIENCY
• Saves the costs on energy and heat due to the use of room temperature water in the washing cycle.
• Automatic passage of the system into the standby mode during the long intervals in the operation saves the electric energy and reduces the wear.
• Filter with cell size of 10mcm, installed in the loop of developer circulation, removes solid particles and increases the service life of the solution. The use of tanks for replenishing solutions on 25l with floating covers to slowdown the oxidation also contributes to the service life prolongation.

ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES
The processor delivery package doesn’t include any accessories for the preparation and storage of replenishing solutions.

Lightproof feed tray for COLENTA INDX 900E
Additional accessory, saving time and allowing to the operator to work in a normal light or to leave the darkroom just after inserting the exposed film into the tray.

Set of additional tanks for feeding replenishing developer and fixing solutions
Tanks by 25l with possibility to be installed onto the support of the processor (separate delivery)

Support for COLENTA INDX 900E
This is a reliable support for the processor and equipment, using the sliding shelf, made of stainless steel for the installation of tanks with replenishing solutions on it.
