MFP17-B Fully Automatic Film Processor

MFP17-B Fully Automatic Film Processor
Brand: Mitech
Model: MFP17-B

Product Overview

The MFP17-B Fully Automatic Film Processor is an advanced high-efficiency film processing system developed by Mitech Co., Ltd.. Designed with a super digital display board, microcomputer control system, and dense array roller technology, this next-generation processor supports a variety of film sizes while ensuring smooth operation. The countdown monitoring function completes the circulation process in just one minute, automatically switching to standby mode for improved efficiency.

The automated liquid cycling and replenishment system keeps processing liquids fresh, maintaining high-quality output. Additionally, the professional prototype drying duct system guarantees that both sides of the film dry evenly without water stains. This makes the MFP17-B ideal for monitoring pipelines, pressure vessels, aerospace applications, metallurgy, shipbuilding, and other industrial fields.

Working Principle

The MFP17-B follows six essential steps in film processing:

1. Developing: The film is placed in the developer tank, where it interacts with chemical solutions for a set duration.
2. Stop Sink Washing: A specialized stop sink system enhances the fixing liquid’s effect, ensuring accurate processing.
3. Fixing: The film then moves to the fixer tank, where the fixer solution stabilizes the image.
4. Small Waste Removal: Any excess chemicals and contaminants are safely removed.
5. Washing: The film is thoroughly rinsed to eliminate any remaining residues.
6. Drying: The film undergoes high-efficiency drying, preventing watermarks or streaks.

The processor operates under four modes:

• Cold Mode: The system remains powered but inactive.
• Preheating Mode: The system heats up to the optimal temperature before inserting film.
• Wash Mode: The film undergoes the washing phase.
• Self-Inspection Mode: The system automatically checks all components to ensure proper function.

Operating Instructions & Precautions

1. Preparation Before Use:
   • Ensure the water drainage stopcock is closed and the freshwater tap is open.
   • After daily use, turn off the freshwater tap and drain residual water from the processor.
2. Powering On:
   • Switch on the power supply, allowing the water tank to fill.
   • The ventilator fan will supply fresh air.
   • The developer and fixer baths will begin heating, and the LED bath heater will blink once the correct temperature is reached.
3. Film Processing Steps:
   • Open the light protection cover.
   • Place the film on the left side of the feed tray and insert it.
   • The film switch automatically starts transport and replenishment.
   • The system processes the film through developing, fixing, washing, and drying.
   • Once completed, the film is ready for use.

Maintenance & Care

• Before Use: Wipe the film infeed with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris.
• System Check: Ensure all surrounding devices are properly connected.
• Liquid Management:
  • Ensure replenishment tank liquid levels are at least 1/3 of the tank height.
  • Verify replenishment pipes are correctly inserted.
• Cleaning & Storage:
  • Open the cover to wipe internal water droplets caused by liquid evaporation.
  • Inspect and remove roller surface crystallization or dirt.
  • Fill the cleaning tank with fresh water after maintenance.
• Startup Check:
  • Ensure the power is connected and the water inlet switch is open.
  • Press the manual replenishment button to confirm developer and fixer circulation is functioning correctly.
• Pre-Processing: Run 2-3 cleaning films through the processor to remove any residual dust and debris.
• Post-Processing:
  • Drain all water from the system at the end of the day to prevent algae buildup.
  • Turn off the main power switch and activate the ventilation system.
