PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid processing agent replenishing device for photosensitive materials constituted in such a manner that the solid processing agents in a hopper to be replenished are uniformly stored from below without solidifying their storage state and that the delivery of the fixed amount of the solid processing agent to a replenishing tank is smoothly, stably and exactly executed without being affected by moisture and being deteriorated in the performance of the processing agents and further without the splashing of the processing agents and the contamination of the outside by the solid processing agents. SOLUTION: This solid processing agent replenishing device for the photosensitive materials has a loading means for loading packages housing the solid processing agents for the photosensitive materials, a feeding means for feeding the solid processing agents which are the contents of these packages into the hopper 21 and a delivery means for delivering the prescribed amount of the solid processing agents from the hopper 21 and replenishing the replenishing tank 5 with these solid processing agents. The solid processing agent replenishing device for the photosensitive materials described above is characterized in that the inside walls of the hopper 21 are perpendicularly constituted. |
