摘要： The present invention provides for a processing system and method of operating a photographic processor which comprises monitoring an average consumption of water, chemistry, packaging material and energy per unit amount of photographic film processed in the processor. By taking into account the inter-relationship between all of the above-noted parameters, a fully-automated color film processor having a specified eco-efficiency property can be designed. The eco-efficiency property of the processor is characterized in that it provides more function for the processor with less environmental impacts than comparable products and combines attributes such as minimization of mass and a volume of solution that is heated by a processor, effective use of energy, simplification of power consumption, minimization of time required to process film, recovery of waste produced during operation of the processor, and recovery and reuse of water evaporated during use of the processor.

摘要： A chemical delivery system and method for use in a photographic processor is disclosed. The chemical delivery system includes a heating assembly that comprises a heating chamber and a level detection sensor. The heating chamber receives a predetermined amount of processing solution from a storage tank based on the level of the level detection sensor, heats the predetermined amount of processing solution and supplies the same to an associated photograph processor.
