KREOLAB PHOTOGRAPHIC LABORATORY SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT

Photographic & Graphic Arts Sinks

Sinks are of a one-piece molded glass-fiber reinforced resin construction. This resin was specifically developed to be impervious to the corrosive effects of rapid fixers, color bleaches, iron chloride and other harsh chemicals used in photographic and graphic arts processes.
Sinks are pre-plumbed at the factory and delivered ready for installation. Plumbing packages are chosen to suit the application, and fixtures include appropriate water temperature blenders, water filters, faucets with hoses, vacuum breakers, standpipes and basket strainers. Controls can be positioned for optimum handicap accessibility. KREOLAB sink stands and cabinets are laminated plywood.

WALK AROUND SINKS

What is the purpose of plumbing packages?

Plumbing packages are used for temperature control on photo processes that require critical temperature control. Incoming water is blended to the proper temperature and circulated by jets around the trays in the sink. This keeps the trays at the proper temperature. Many photographic processes require developement at a controlled temperature for a specific time. In some parts of the country, incoming cold water temperatures may reach 86-90 degrees in the summer; if lower developing temperatures are required, a chiller must be installed in order to maintain the proper temperature.
