This compact, low-volume processor was designed to meet the needs of clinics, private practices and other facilities that desire the convenience, productivity and consistency of automated processing but that do not handle the high volumes necessary to justify purchasing a higher-throughput processor.

A quality x -Ray film processor built and priced to make in-house film developing cost-effective for small offices, clinics, satellite health care facilities, and mobile installations. Special versions of this processor are available for those sites desiring to specialize in mammographic film processing. The Mini-Medical has been designed to include many time, space, and money saving features found in higher priced models. The Mini-Medical is setting a new standard for tabletop film processors. A single switch activates the Mini-Medical. Ease of operation makes the unit simple for all staff members to use. The AFP Mini-Medical requires a minimum of precious darkroom space; it measures only 33" x 22" x 24" overall, with only a 21" footprint. Processed film exits from the top, back to the operator, allowing the unit to fit handily into smaller spaces. The entire drive system is designed to take advantage of AFP's technological advances. Our tank system now features a completely new molded plastic uni-body design. A capacitor start motor assures quiet and reliable operation. Worm drive greatly reduces the load on the drive system and extends motor life. A reliable electromechanical film detector allows the Mini-Medical to accept standard sizes and colors of x -Ray film. use. The Mini-Medical handles films as small as 4" x 4" and as large as 14" x 36" and can process up to 90 14" x 17" films per hour. An optional "No Plumbing" Kit allows the unit to function on self-contained chemicals, making the AFP Mini-Medical ideal for mobile installations or in areas of strict EPA regulations regarding processor effluent disposal. |

Audible and visual indicators add to operator convenience by signalling when the processor is ready to accept another film. Two separate indicator lights let the operator know the developer solution is at the proper level and that it has reached the optimum temperature for film processing. CONSTANT READINESS DESIGN A special "jog" cycle keeps rollers wet while the machine is in standby, thus guaranteeing quality processing throughout the day. An electronic activating system replenishes solutions automatically keeping all chemicals used in the Mini-Medical at peak operating efficiency. Films travel from tank to tank with minimum exposure to air. The tank's new molded plastic uni-body design and the interlocking design of each rack simplify removal. Minimizes the consumption os water by eliminating flow during standby mode. Approximately 1 pint of fresh water is added during each "jog" cycle to eliminate algae problems associated with standing water. |
Energy efficient "I.R. heat lamps" dry each film quickly and quietly. "Pivot-back" dryer rack enables easy access to wash section. The AFP Mini-Medical runs on standard electrical current (115V 15A) and requires only a cold water line connection. The unit is UL approved. During periods of inactivity, the drive motor and pumps shut off automatically reducing energy consumption and mechanical wear. Temperatures are maintained electronically. Reduces time in the dark. Fixer drainage hose fittings are compatible with most standard silver recovery units. Modular, state-of-the-art electronics are designed to assure reliable operation with minimal start-up and reset times. An audible tone alerts operator that processor is ready to accept another film. |
