Carestream Industrex M37 Plus Film Processor

Carestream Industrex M37 Plus Film Processor

Fully Featured, Powerful, Innovative, and Space Saving Design for Mid-Volume Output

Space Saving Design

The tabletop Industrex M37 Plus is ideal for automatic processing in mid-volume facilities. While compact, it offers the output you need and the excellent image quality and reliability you demand. The processor ensures totally automatic film handling and supports nine programmable-controlled processing channels that allows for flexibility in your day-to-day NDT film production.

 

M37 Plus Features

  • 43 cm processing width
  • Economical medium-range processor with capacity of 33 sheets/hour(35cm x 43cm) in the recommended processing cycle
  • Compact design for smaller labs or environments
  • Filtered developer solution that reduces film artifacts
  • Intermediate rinse rack bath system
  • Can be used in stand-alone darkroom or through-the-wall installations
  • Automatic film-in detection utilizing a pulsed infra-red sensor bar
  • Automatic replenishment system for developer and fixer
  • Automatic heating for developer and fixer
  • Automatic anti-oxidation and anti-crystallization cycles
  • Separate drainage for developer, fixer and wash chemicals
  • Factory fitted replenisher tank level control assemblies with a plug connection into the processor
  • Incoming water temperature sensor - beeper alarm when wash water temperature is outside the programmed range
  • Enhanced cold water cooling system
  • Unit pre-configured with connection fittings to simplify installation of optional external chiller
  • Automatic wash water top off at start-up

 

 

Industrex Film Processors

Quality images, efficient output, energy and water savings

These feature-rich processors include state-of-the-art microprocessor control, to automatically monitor and regulate:

  • Developer temperature
  • Drying temperature
  • Developing time
  • Replenishment rates

Robust Features

  • Automatic stand-by mode for low water and power consumption, environmental friendly
  • Filtered developer processing solutions
  • High Capacity, ranging from 33-5835cm x 43cm sheets/hour based on model
  • Automatic tank solution replenishment. Microprocessor calculates amount of film entering processor based on the input of sensors; it then uses the data to precision-measure the replenishment fluid needed
  • Anti-oxidation standby mode. This function prevents oxidation and chemical breakdown by automatically injecting developer solution into the tank when unit is not in use
  • Superior film-drying system. Processors dry film thoroughly without the use of damaging infra-red technology
  • Specialized transport rollers protect film. Eliminate crystallization of chemicals on rollers, and minimize dirt and debris deposited on film. Processor rollers remain submerged in solution when not in use—keeping them clean and running smoothly

IS-199 Chemical Mixer Accessory

Pair the M37 Plus with the IS-199 Chemical Mixer, the ultimate automatic x-ray chemical mixer with specific gravity control to produce a consistent mix each and every time. The mixer responds to the addition of concentrated chemicals and adds the correct amount of water automatically. Made with reliable and rugged materials and includes a low level warning system that resets automatically.
