In a photosensitive material processing apparatus having a wash tank for washing photosensitive material with a relatively large volume of water after development, means for releasing silver cations into wash water is provided for preventing bio-slime generation in the wash tank. Silver cations can be dissolved out from a silver alloy through electrolysis or from a silver release agent. A method for preventing bio-slime from accumulating in the wash tank includes the steps of: releasing silver cations into wash water, and optionally, draining wash water from the wash tank, and forcedly drying the wash tank.
A method for controlling bio-slime formation in a washing tank of an automatic processor, said washing tank having a discharge port at a bottom thereof and containing water during an operating period of said processor, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for controlling bio-slime formation in a water washing tank of an automatic processor, said washing tank having a discharge port at a bottom thereof and at least one transporting roller for passage of photosensitive material through the tank, said washing tank being full of water during an operating period of said processor, said method comprising the steps of:
A photosensitive material processing apparatus comprising:
A method for controlling bio-slime formation in the washing tank of a photosensitive material processing apparatus comprising the steps of:
