ABSTRACT:
A dryer for photosensitive material has a main housing. A blower housing with a blower is mounted inside the main housing. A container defining a drying compartment is also mounted inside the main housing on top of the blower housing. An inlet opening in the bottom of the container establishes communication between the blower and the drying compartment. A transporting unit consisting of a support which carries a series of transporting rollers, a series of guides and drive means for at least some of the rollers is removably mounted in the container. The main housing is provided with an aperture, and the transporting unit functions to draw photosensitive material into and to discharge photosensitive material from the drying compartment via the aperture. The main housing is further provided with an air admitting opening for the admission of fresh air to the blower. The blower housing and the container cooperate with the main housing to define air flow channels so that drying air which has traveled through the drying compartment can be recirculated to the blower. The container has an open upper end, and the main housing has a removable cover which overlies such end. This allows the transporting unit to be withdrawn from the container in the event of a malfunction, or for maintenance or repair. The transporting unit can subsequently be reinserted in the container.
