Development of Digital Thermal Plate Processor LP940HII, LP1310HII

Abstract

Fuji Photo Film Co.,Ltd. has developed the new thermal positive platemaking system which can reduce 40% of environment load in LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) of current system. Concretely we developed new computed developer replenishment method and hollow floating lid for developer and those attained of making chemical life three times and chemical wastes by half. In addition, we adopted plastic molded parts for the main body and side racks first for this kind of machine to make it easy for operator to clean the processor.
