Photographic processing apparatus

摘要

A photographic processor for processing a photosensitive material. The processor comprising at least one processing section having a generally U-shaped processing channel for holding a processing solution through which the photosensitive material passes. A belt is provided for transporting of the photosensitive material through the generally U-shaped processing channel. The generally U-shaped channel comprises a first generally straight section in which the photosensitive material enters the processing channel, a second generally straight section through which the photosensitive material exits the U-shaped processing channel, and a turn-around section connecting the first and second sections. The turn-around section has a radius of curvature of a predetermined value. The first and second straight sections having a cross-sectional thickness T, and the turn-around section has a cross-sectional thickness TR greater than the cross-sectional thickness T.
