Filmomat Light: compact manual rotational film processing
$699.00 On Sale
Filmomat Light is a compact workstation for manual rotational film processing - at a very affordable price point! The centerpiece is a pivotable motor unit, which will adapt to almost all processing tanks on the market (Jobo, Paterson, Kaiser, etc.). The rotation speed is continuously adjustable from 20 to 99rpm. Every seven revolutions the rotation direction is inverted, to ensure proper agitation of the chemistry. A powerful planetary gearbox motor ensures that even big tanks (like Jobo Multitank 5) can be rotated reliably. The body of the Filmomat Light can be filled with water, which allows temperature control for C41 or E6 processes. Filmomat Light doesn’t have an integrated heater - instead, you simply use a SousVide cooker! The machine is designed for maximum compatibility with your existing equipment - a perfect fit for every darkroom.
The Filmomat Light is a universal and affordable workstation for manual film processing. On a very small footprint, it offers a temperature-controlled and reproducible processing environment with automatic rotation of the film tank. Compatible with most common processing tank systems of various sizes (for example Jobo 15x and 25x series, NO ExpertDrums). The perfect way to get started with home film development!

TECHNICAL DETAILS:
• Universal workstation/platform for manual film processing.
