 Automatic Processing
|
The Velopex Extra-XE is very easy to use. Once switched on, the chemical is brought to working temperature
automatically. It is then only necessary to press the 'Run' button - and films can be posted through the entry slot in any order
and of any size. They are developed dry-to-dry in 5 1/2 minutes without further attention. The machine completes the processing
cycle unattended and stops automatically. Automatic x-ray processing avoids unnecessary re-takes - and therefore unwarranted x-ray exposure. |
Accepts All Film Sizes |
The Extra-XE develops all sizes of x-ray film from intra-oral to panoral and full skull format. A built-in
guide is useful in organising small sized films. |
High Quality Radiographs, Fast |
Dry-to-dry radiographs of high quality are delivered in less than six minutes, supporting the dentist's diagnosis while
the patient is still in the surgery. The Extra-XE saves time and reduces patient recalls by making x-rays available promptly and
conveniently - and there is a 'fast lane' feature to produce endodontic film for viewing wet within less than three minutes. |
Unique film transport system |
The key to Extra-XE performance and efficiency is the unique Velopex film transport system in which x-ray films are
kept stationary and gently protected between two continuous permeable belts. Four identical modules carry the films securely through the
developer, fixer, water-wash and air-drying chambers.
This well-proven system virtually eliminates the risk of film loss compared with conventional multi-roller assemblies, and ensures uniform
exposure to the chemicals for consistently excellent results. |
 |
Daylight or Darkroom Operation |
The Extra-XE is supplied for daylight operation with a capacious and convenient daylight loader - eliminating
the need for a darkroom and the associated risk of film fogging. The loader can be fitted to the darkroom version very simply at any time.
With the Extra-XE, staff are no longer obliged to work with chemicals in a dark, confined space. |
 |
Deep Processing Tanks |
The deep chemical tanks provide for a long film path to allow 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. |
Compact and Easily Installed |
Occupying little countertop space (or floor area if the optional stand is specified), the Extra-XE is among
the most compact automatic processors in its class. Installation is very simple, and requires only a suitable power socket, cold
water supply and water outlet. Simpler than plumbing in a domestic washing machine. |
Easily and Economically Maintained |
Routine chemical replacement and cleaning are quick and straightforward. Furthermore, the entire machine is designed
for long life, maximum reliability and simple maintenance by the user. The unique modular construction of the transport system ensures that,
in the unlikely event that a film transport module requires renewal, the module can be replaced in a matter of seconds at modest cost. |
Archivable Radiographs |
Films processed by the Velopex Extra-XE form an accurate, permanent, non-corruptible record of treatment for
the future protection of both dentist and patient. |
