Abstract (en)
A fluid treatment apparatus, for example, for treating photographic material or the like, wherein a plurality of tanks (11-18) are arranged in side-by-side relation and a suspension device (50) is caused to rise, move laterally and then be lowered into each tank in turn. The tanks for chemicals are each provided with a pair of doors (90) which reduce evaporation, prevent oxidation and save heat. The doors are floating on the liquid in the tank and being opened and closed by the act of raising and lowering the suspension device which has a carrier for the material to be treated thereon. The suspension device and carrier are reciprocated vertically gently to cause agitation and further agitation is achieved by indexing the carrier within the liquid relative to the suspension device.
