It's a ferrotype dryer. The drum is hot and chrome plated. If you place the print so that the emulsion faces the drum it gives the print a super shiny gloss. Paper can also be placed so the emulsion faces the canvas to dry to a matte finish. Edited August 6, 2019 by pico Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdachs Posted April 26, 2020 Share #22 Posted April 26, 2020 To proceed the discussion from August, my problem ist not the drying but very often dust, especially bw film. German DIY warehouses offer fans ( the wonderful german composite is "Rohreinschublüfter") being able to convey 180m³ per hour. Vacuuming is this fan capable to surpass a at least to small HEPA-filter. A solution for my drying question. Regards Joachim Welcome, dear visitor!

tommonego@gmail.com Posted April 27, 2020 Share #23 Posted April 27, 2020 I have a cord across the shower in the bathroom where I develop my film, shut the shower curtins and there is very little dust. I use photo flo and a squeegee after the last rinse, hang it with plastic covered clips. In the winter it dries in a couple of hours, don't have a humid summer experience yet. When I had a dark room I built a plywood epoxy paint covered cabinet for film drying. I don't like the Senrac dryers they are too hot and the film has a curl coming out of them, used one for years at work when I had extreme deadlines.

I think (hope!) the steam settles whatever remaining dust, and adds heat to the room, for faster drying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share #25 Posted May 1, 2020 Very nice construction Joachim. And that is a funny, very to the point German word, made me smile. In the meantime I have updated my design somewhat, described here: https://philipus.com/project-film-dryer-ver-20 On 4/26/2020 at 11:08 PM, mdachs said: To proceed the discussion from August, my problem ist not the drying but very often dust, especially bw film.
