Elimination of electrostatic discharges in automatic daylight film processor systems. A simple, cost-effective solution. Technical note.
Automatic daylight film processors may produce heavy electrostatic discharges on radiographic films when using other brands of film than those produced by the processor manufacturer. This is a disadvantage, as it can eliminate competition when purchasing film. By 1. earthing the processor feeder rollers, 2. coating them with aluminium paint, and 3. isolating the wheels with a conventional insulating spray for electric cables, the artifacts vanish, and various brands of film can be used.
