ABSTRACT:
A modular photographic processor for processing a photosensitive material. The processor comprising a modular processing section containing at least one removable processing tank for holding a processing solution therein. The one removable processing tank having an outlet port and an inlet port. The processor also includes a modular recirculation system having a first inlet end and a second outlet end. The second outlet end being connected to the inlet port by a first quick disconnect dripless fluid valve assembly and the first inlet end being connected to the outlet port by a second quick disconnect dripless fluid valve assembly. Various fluid processing components may be connected to the apparatus by at least one quick disconnect dripless fluid valve assembly for quick and easy repair or replacement of that component. The modular processor allows the quick and easy customizing or conversion of the processor to any desired processing chemistry
