MITECH X-Ray Film Auto-Dry Machine MD-500

The Mitech MD-500 Film Auto-Dry Machine is a professional-grade drying unit designed to efficiently dry X-ray films after manual washing in industrial, scientific, and medical applications. Equipped with PU and soft rubber rollers along with a high-absorption sponge shaft, the MD-500 ensures fast, uniform drying without watermarks or surface damage.

With stepless speed adjustment, adjustable drying temperature, and dual water supply options (internal circulation or external source), the MD-500 offers unmatched flexibility and performance in NDT (nondestructive testing) environments. Its compact size, low water consumption, and easy maintenance make it an essential tool for high-throughput film handling and post-wash drying.

Key Features

• Fast & Efficient Drying: Dries manually washed X-ray films quickly and without damage or water spots.

• Soft-Touch Roller System: PU and soft rubber rollers combined with sponge shaft ensure gentle film transport and superior water absorption.

• Adjustable Drying Speed: Stepless control allows precise film processing between 450–125 cm/min.

• Dual Water Source Options: Use either internal circulation or external water supply.

• Clean Water Circulation: Built-in pump keeps water clean and reduces waste.

• Temperature Control: Adjustable drying temperature from 20°C to 60°C for optimized film results.

• Compact & Lightweight: Ideal for mobile operations and space-limited environments.

Applications

Used in post-processing of manually washed X-ray films in:

• Nondestructive Testing (NDT)

• Photography Labs

• Medical Imaging

• Scientific Research Facilities

• Industrial Inspection Lines

Technical Specifications

Working Principle

The MD-500 dries X-ray film through controlled conveyance between soft rubber rollers and an absorbent sponge shaft. As the film passes through, moisture is effectively removed without causing damage. Water can be supplied via an internal tank with a circulation pump or through a direct external water source.

The machine’s motorized system regulates film speed and drying temperature to ensure even and fast drying. The unit is ready for use after reaching the desired operating temperature and completing water circulation.

Usage Conditions

• Operating Temperature: Ambient conditions (recommended: 23°C–30°C)

• Water Temperature: 5°C–30°C

• Relative Humidity: ≤70%

• Environmental Requirements: Avoid exposure to vibration, strong magnetic fields, corrosive substances, and dust.

Safety & Maintenance Notes

• Clean the machine surface and rollers before use.

• Ensure water level in the tank is at least ⅓ full and that all tubes and pipes are correctly positioned.

• After daily use, drain water, power off, and leave the cover slightly open to prevent condensation.

• Run a test film before processing to confirm proper operation.

• Regularly wipe the inner chamber to remove water vapor and residue.

• Press the water supply button to verify circulation function.

• Ensure rollers are clean and free from crystallization or debris before each use.
