Processor Description
Hope/Carnfeldt on-line processors are designed to operate as a complete integrated system with the
Scangraphic  imagesetters.

Modular Construction
The Hope/Carnfeldt processor is of modular construction, which allows you to choose between three different tank capacities. Deep tanks and long rack lengths determine the process speed and contribute to an even density.
Installation is easy as the GL processor can be split into two sections, which easily pass through doors, etc.

Easy Maintenance
The Hope/Carnfeldtt processor is easy to maintain. The easy access for regular cleaning ensures a long life span and troublefree functioning of the processor

Working Environment
The clean design and the low noise level of the processor fit into today’s modern working environment. The processor is supplied with an effective exhaust fan for removal of chemical fumes from the conveyor, processor and installation site. The exhaust fan is switched on continuously to prevent chemical fumes travelling through the conveyor into the imagesetter.

 Electronic Control
The electronic communication between the imagesetter and the processor ensures an optimum utilization of the capacity of the imagesetter.
The processor is equipped with an advanced electronic control system which is simple to operate. The system controls and displays developer and fixer temperatures, replenishment, antioxidation, developing time, low liquid level and on-feed indication. A power save function automatically reduces power and water consumption after completion of each processing cycle. During nights and weekends, a night mode system reduces consumption further, keeping the processor ready to operate without any delay. A safety level control system will cut off heat and automatically refill each tank if a low liquid level is detected.
A special link tells the imagesetter when to feed material and when the processor is ready. The control system informs the operator if an error occurs. Communication status is displayed by LED’s on the processor control panel.

Technical Features
The racks are built after the principle "staggered rollers" which has proven to be the most reliable rack construction on the market. The staggered rollers configuration of the racks ensures reliable transportation of the film or paper through the processing cycle.
