A processing apparatus includes an inner cylinder 25 (a processing chamber 23) accommodated in a carrying unit for carrying an object to be processed and further seals up the object with the inner cylinder 25 or a first stationary wall 34 to process the object in contact with processing fluid. In this processing apparatus with sealing mechanism, flexible hollow packings 100, 101 are arranged doubly in either the inner cylinder 25 or the first stationary wall 34, at its occluded part with the first stationary wall 34 and the inner cylinder 25. The hollow packings 100, 101 have their hollow parts 102 connected with respective pressurized-air sources 103 through pressure-detecting switches 110 and closing valves 105. By expanding or contracting the hollow packings 100, 101, the operation of the apparatus is switched in between its sealing state and non-sealing state. With this arrangement, it is possible to improve the sealing capability and prolong the life of the mechanism.
