Process ECP-2E Specifications 9-3 PROCESSING MACHINE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION Machine Design The films intended for Process ECP-2E are processed in roll form in a continuous processing machine. Film is transported through the various solution tanks, emulsion side out, on a series of spools. These spo...

9-6 Process ECP-2E Specifications Construction Materials The construction materials recommended for the developer, stop, fixer, and bleach solutions are listed in Table 9-2. All the bleaches are quite corrosive. The UL bleach is slightly more corrosive than ferricyanide bleach, but less corrosive th...

9-8 Process ECP-2E Specifications Filters Filters are used to remove any insoluble material in the form of solids and tars from processing solutions and wash waters. If this material is not removed, it can adhere to the film being processed, machine tank walls, rollers, lines, etc. Filters are requi...

Process ECP-2E Specifications 9-9 Machine Exhaust and Room Ventilation Systems Install local exhausts at specific locations on the processing machine and at specific work areas to provide for the safety and comfort of the laboratory personnel. Supplement local exhausts with a room ventilation system...

Process ECP-2E Specifications 9-13 UL Bleach Formulations Two UL Bleach formulations are available to fill various laboratory operating and environmental needs. They are: • Ammonium UL or “UL House” Bleach. This formulation contains the highest percentage of ammonium ion which maximizes bleach activ...

9-14 Process ECP-2E Specifications Chemical Supplies and Substitutions Ferric nitrate is supplied in crystalline form as nonahydrate or dissolved in water as a 35 or 45% solution. Various bromides, carbonates, and hydroxides may be used interchangeably provided attention is given to effluent require...

Process ECP-2E Specifications 9-15 Wash-Water Flow Rates Adequate washing in conjunction with conservation of wash water is a matter of concern for all processors. Ways of reducing wash-water usage while maintaining adequate washing include: (1) using multi-stage countercurrent-flow washes, (2) inst...

9-16 Process ECP-2E Specifications Table 9-7 Mechanical Specifications for Rewash RW-1 Process Steps KODAK Formula Temperature * * Fahrenheit temperatures are primary. Celsius temperatures are rounded consistent with process-control requirements. Time Replenisher (Wash Rate) per 100 ft. (30.5 m) of ...

Process ECP-2E Specifications 9-19 Solution Mixing 1. Use the following mixing practices when preparing processing solutions with common mixing equipment. Mix solutions in the order in which the solutions occur in the process sequence. This order will minimize mixing time and oxidation, while provid...

9-20 Process ECP-2E Specifications Formulas and Analytical Specifications Maintain the fresh tank formula specifications exactly as given on the following pages. Any large deviations from tank specifications, noted by chemical analysis, should be corrected immediately by appropriate additions or cut...

Process ECP-2E Specifications 9-21 Alternate Developer To process VISION Premier Color Print Film, the normal replenisher flow rate must be increased by 8%. If the footage processed is less than one tank turnover, no change of pH is required in the replenisher, but small adjustment could be necessar...

9-22 Process ECP-2E Specifications Accelerator To process VISION Premier Color Print Film, the accelerator replenisher flow rate may need to be increased. If only a small amount of footage is processed no change in the flow rate should be required in the replenisher. For larger quantities of VISION ...

Process ECP-2E Specifications 9-25 Fixer To be used with persulfate bleach (may also be used with alternate process bleaches) To process a large quantity (more than one tank turnover) of VISION Premier Color Print Film, the normal replenishment flow rate of the fix may need to be increased by up to ...

9-26 Process ECP-2E Specifications Alternate Process Fixer The Sodium Fixer is recommended as an alternate fixer for use only with a persulfate bleach. The sodium fixer is not recommended for use in the ECN-2 process or as a “House Fixer”. To process a large quantity (more than one tank turnover) of...

Process ECP-2E Specifications 9-27 Storage of Solutions Do not use replenishers that have been stored at normal roomtemperatures 21 to 24°C (70 to 75°F), longer than the timesgiven in Table 9-9 . Storage temperatures higher than 24°C (75°F) will decrease the storage life of the solutions. Storagetem...
