ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for continuously processing, in a horizontal through-put manner, a thin substrate having an image carrying coating on one surface thereof includes tank member for containing the processing solution, the tank having an entry end and an exit end. A pair of rotatable entry rollers is disposed adjacent the entry end of the tank, the entry rollers being disposed one above the other in nip contact for receiving the substrate and conveying it downstream in the apparatus. Guidance members disposed adjacent the entry rollers are included to receive the substrate from the entry rollers and direct it into the processing solution. A pair of rotatable holding rollers is disposed adjacent the entry rollers in the solution, the holding rollers being disposed one above the other in nip contact for receiving the substrate and conveying it in a horizontal direction within the processing solution. A scrubbing device for scrubbing the coated side of the substrate is disposed adjacent the nip of the holding rollers. The scrubbing device includes a rotatable brush roller, and a support roller disposed above the brush roller and in nip contact therewith. The support roller includes a shaft portion and a plurality of substantially cylindrical, individually rotatable, free-wheeling anvil members, disposed around the shaft in closely spaced, substantially frictionless relationship. A second guidance member disposed adjacent the scrubbing device is included for directing the substrate out of the processing solution. A pair of rotatable squeegee rollers is disposed adjacent the exit end of the tank, the squeegee rollers being disposed one above the other in nip contact for receiving the substrate, removing excess solution therefrom, and conveying the substrate towards the exit end of the tank. The subject apparatus further includes a motor for rotating the entry rollers, holding rollers and squeegee rollers at substantially the same speed, and a separate motor for rotating the brush roller at a speed greater than the entry rollers, holding rollers, and squeegee rollers.
