Abstract: Mixing baths 6A and 6B which temporarily hold chemical agents A and B respectively are disposed. The mixing baths 6A and 6B are each connected with a high-pressure fluid supplying unit 2. For surface treatment using a mixture of the chemical agent A and SCF (processing fluid), SCF is fed under pressure from the high-pressure fluid supplying unit 2 to the mixing bath 6A which already holds the chemical agent A, whereby the chemical agent A dissolves in SCF flowing into the mixing bath 6A and the mixture of the chemical agent A and SCF (processing fluid) is created. As a high-pressure valve (processing fluid introducing valve) 39 is opened, the processing fluid is sent into a pressure vessel 1. This achieves a predetermined surface treatment of a substrate which has been set inside the pressure vessel 1, using the processing fluid.

Abstract: A mixing valve assembly 42 is communicated with a dedicated tank 51D, storing therein a compatibilizer D, via an inlet valve 43 and is also communicated with dedicated tanks 51A-51C via three injection valves, the tanks storing therein auxiliaries A-C respectively. A chemical formulation is prepared by selectively injecting any one(s) of four chemical agents into the mixing valve assembly 42 by way of on-off control of the inlet valve 43 and the injection valves and blending together the injected chemical agents. Then, the chemical formulation is pumped into SCF by a high-pressure pump 45 such that the SCF and the chemical formulation are mixed together to form a process fluid. Thus, the number of components of a high-pressure portion can be reduced to achieve a cost reduction of an apparatus. Furthermore, a pipe line for pumping the chemical agents is simplified.

Abstract: After subjected to a developing process, a rinsing process and a replacing process in this order in a developing unit 10A, 10B, a substrate W wet with an anti-drying solution is wet-transported to a supercritical drying unit 20 by a primary transport robot 30. The supercritical drying unit 20 performs a high-pressure drying process (supercritical drying process) in a dedicated manner. Accordingly, by virtue of the presence of the anti-drying solution, the substrate W is effectively prevented from becoming air-dry during the transportation of the substrate W.

Abstract: When the hatch of a substrate washing chamber 5 is opened to receive a substrate, certain valves are closed, and one valve is opened, to supply CO2 to purge the substrate washing chamber 5 to and exclude air. When the hatch is closed, another valve is opened to vent substrate washing chamber 5 so that the CO2 expels any gas and unwanted air from the substrate washing chamber 5 and the conduits. Thereafter, supercritical CO2 is used to wash the substrate and clean the circulation line. The flow of supercritical CO2 is sent to the substrate washing chamber 5. After flowing through the circulation line, including a circulation channel 11, it passes through a bypass channel 12 to a decompressor 7. Any chemicals or organic substances left in the circulation line are continuously sent to separation/recovery bath 8 together with the flow.

Abstract: Separable upper and lower rims of a post-cure tire inflator requiring no upper rim replacing operation which requires much time and labor especially when mounting the upper rim, and also no time and labor for holding a lower rim upward when mounting. In the upper and lower rim for holding the bead section of the tire, a high-pressure air is filled in a cured tire discharged from a tire curing press to thereby inflate and cool the tire; therefore at least the upper rim has stairway-like steps having two or more outer diameters fit to the bead diameters of tires of different sizes and formed by extending a small outer diameter on a large outer diameter.
