ABSTRACT:
A processor for sheets of x-ray film has racks of rollers for transporting the film sheets sequentially through a series of stations including a washing station and a drying station. A pair of squeegee rollers located where the film leaves the washing station and enters the drying station squeezes most of the wash liquid from the sheet of film. However, a bead of water may remain on the tail end of the film as it leaves the squeegee rollers, and this bead of water can be deposited onto rollers in the drying station and then be deposited onto the next sheet of film to form water spots on the film after it is dried. In order to greatly reduced these water spots, an absorbent roller is located between the squeegee rollers and the rollers in the drying station so that after the film leaves the squeegee rollers it contacts the abosrbent roller which removes the bead of water from the tail end of the film.
