ECOlogical Design
STRUCTURIX M ECO meets environmental expectations with:
- Revolutionary cascade fixing system, which reduces the amount of silver in the effluent by a factor of 5 to 10.
- Reduced fixer replenishment when STRUCTURIX ecoFix is used.
- Economical water and power consumption.
- Infrared drying system that reduces the amount of heat generated in the darkroom to a minimum.
- Optimal replenishment system as a result of scanning the film surface.
- Intermediate wash, which ensures that there is virtually no carry-over of developer, keeping the fixer bath in optimal condition. This system also prevents processing faults on the film.
- Design for recycling
Extra attention has been paid to the choice of materials in order to improve recyclability. Materials or components that could disturb the recycling process are easily removable. A Recycling Passport (RP) and an Equipment Information Sheet (EIS) are available.
Accurate replenishment
The film surface area is measured accurately at the entry by 5 detector rollers. This unique scanning of the film area ensures a precise, economical and environmentally friendly replenishment operation and reduced replenishment rates.
Minimal operating costs
The accurate replenishment, as described above, results in low chemical consumption. In addition, only an environmentally justified volume of water is used during film processing, and the power consumption is particularly low thanks to the infrared drying system.
Tailored features
Compact size
Takes up only 0.56 m² of floor space.
Well-thought-out, lightweight construction
Constructed from stainless steel, aluminium and PVC to be corrosion-resistant, strong, lightweight and durable.
Easy to use
Built with an automatic start/stop function. Film detection with five scanning rollers allows intelligent and economical replenishment depending on the processed film surface. The removable control panel provides visual reference for all process parameters (temperature, drying settings).
An OK light indicates when the next film can be inserted.
Easy to service
Lightweight aluminium side covers allow quick access to the machine. Circulation pumps and racks are easy to remove, clean and service. The external water and chemical connections ensure efficient and separate disposal of the liquids.
Light-tight cover
The standard light-tight cover allows the operator to perform other tasks while the film is fed into the STRUCTURIX M ECO film processor. It also prevents dust particles from entering the processor, avoiding scratches on the film.
Globally adaptable
Supplied with advanced electronics. The worldwide "plug and play" function makes it possible to adapt it to any standard power outlet, accommodating all voltages globally.
