ABSTRACT:
A processor for processing undeveloped photographic film discs mounted on a spindle assembly has a conveyor to intermittently convey the spindle assembly along a generally horizontal conveyor path. The spindle assembly is conveyed to a plurality of processing and drying stations on the conveyor path. At each processing station, the spindle assembly and film discs mounted thereon are rotated at a first rate of rotation and the film discs are contacted with processing fluids. At a first drying station, the spindle assembly and film discs are rotated at a second higher rate of rotation. At the second drying station, the spindle assembly and film discs are again rotated at the first rate of rotation. Tempered air is blown through the drying stations and a movable dryer hood encloses the drying stations to prevent fluid from being cast from the spinning film discs into the rest of the processor and to direct the tempered air through the drying stations. The dryer hood is synchronized with the conveyor to intermittently move out of the way when the spindle assembly is advanced by the conveyor along the conveyor path.
