Velopex Xtender Automatic X-Ray Film Processor
Velopex Xtender Automatic X-Ray Film Processor
Reliability, Quality and Speed
Processes all sizes of film from intra-oral size, to panoramic and cephalometric (full skull size). High quality, archivable radiographs are delivered dry in five minutes. Endodontic films may be viewed wet (archival) after only two minutes 30 seconds. Has high capacity external reservoirs for processor chemistry and recirculation pump for automatic chemical recycling with extended chemical life. Includes unit self-filling from developer and fixer reservoirs.
Easy-to-use daylight loader (optional) eliminates the need for a darkroom. Films are processed automatically on insertion of the film. Unique film transport system ensures consistently excellent results.Electronic management system shows machine status and help codes. Compact dimensions, simple installation and minimal servicing.
The Velopex Xtender offers the ultimate in x-ray film processing efficiency, reliability and convenience for the busy practice. The Xtender package comprises a top specification processor with high capacity auxiliary chemical reservoirs. An integrated recirculation pump provides automatic chemical filling and recycling for optimum chemical life.
High
quality radiographs, fast
The Xtender
processor saves time and reduces patient recalls. Dry-to-dry radiographs of
high quality are available in just five minutes, supporting the dentist's
diagnosis while the patient is still in the operatory. A preview facility
allows endodontic films to be viewed wet within 150 seconds
(archival).
Unique
film transport system
The key to the processor’s performance and
efficiency is the unique Velopex film transport system, which holds each x-ray
film stationary and gently protected between two continuous permeable belts.
This well-proven system virtually eliminates the risk of film loss and ensures
uniform exposure of the film to the chemicals for consistently excellent
results.
Automatic processing
The Velopex Xtender
is very easy to use. Switch on, and the processing chemicals are brought to
working temperature automatically. Post the films through the entry slot in any
order irrespective of size and the machine’s auto-sensor immediately initiates
the processing cycle, developing them dry-to-dry
automatically.
Electronic machine
management
An electronic management system provides
at-a-glance information on machine status. An indicator panel shows when the
unit is warming up, when it has reached operating temperature, and how long
before a posted film will appear. Audible signals advise that a film is safely
within the transport system and that the next film can be inserted.
Self-diagnostics warn of any fault in the machine’s operation, displaying the
relevant error codes to assist rectification.
Stand-by mode
After the final film
has been processed, the Xtender goes into stand-by, which is indicated by 3
horizontal dashes straight across the display. Stand-by allows the Xtender
to automatically maintain the correct chemical temperature for immediate further
use, thus saving electrical power and water.
Deep
processing tanks
Deep chemical tanks provide for a long film
transport path, ensuring generous contact with the processing solutions. The
slim shape of the tanks keeps the surface area small, reducing the effects of
chemical oxidation and evaporation.
Daylight operation
A convenient, rigid
daylight loader can be supplied when required. This eliminates the need for a
darkroom with its associated risk of film fogging, and relieves staff from
working with chemicals in a dark, confined space. The loader may be fitted later
if the unit is to be upgraded from darkroom-only use.
Accepts
all film sizes
The Xtender develops all sizes of x-ray film from
intra-oral (22 x 33mm) to panoral and full skull format (240 x 300mm). The entry
slot incorporates a built-in guide for organising small sized
films.
High
capacity reservoirs
The integral tanks are supplemented by auxiliary
sealed reservoirs, creating a high capacity system with ample developer and
fixer for heavy usage in the busiest office.
Compact
and easily installed
The compact, smartly-styled Xtender can be
supplied with an optional robust stand, which also provides convenient housing
for the auxiliary tanks and recirculation pump. Installation is simple,
requiring only a power socket. The unit can either be plumbed in using a cold
water supply and water outlet – or alternatively with a closed-loop water
reservoir independent of plumbing (a useful option where plumbing on site
presents a problem).
Chemical recirculation
A specially designed
triple pump connects the auxiliary reservoirs with the processor, automatically
topping up the processing chemicals, recirculating the developer and fixer and
gradually recycling the entire volume of chemistry. Continuous recirculation of
the solutions within a sealed system extends their service life and helps
maintain effective processing performance. The pump can additionally be used to
recirculate a sealed wash-water supply, avoiding the need for connection to
mains water.
Auto-filling from
reservoirs
Charging the machine is simplified by self-filling
from reservoirs. The recirculation system may also be used to simplify the
cleaning of tanks at the time of chemical change.
1. Endodontic film in as fast as 60 seconds
(on fast cycle) On standard cycle film will be available in 120
seconds. Film will be required to be washed and dried after viewing.
2. Speed Control - Fast cycle -150 seconds (Extra-Oral film) Standard cycle - 300 seconds (Intra-Oral film)
3. Multi-function LED display
- Alerts the operator when the film is ready for collection.
Temperature condition, choice of cycle speed are also displayed as are a
comprehensive sequence of error codes - if any faults occur.
4. Touch Panel initiation switch
5. Electronic Film Sensing System - Brings machine out of stand-by on film entry
6. Replenishment/ Recirculation - Aso used for filling unit with chemicals.
