  • Patent number: 7144663
    Abstract: In the apparatus for liquid preparation, the silver halide emulsion contained in a dedicated pot is transferred as liquid by a mohno pump via a piping into a measuring tank. The silver halide emulsion transferred into the measuring tank is measured with a load cell and is melted by heating with a jacket while being stirred by a stirrer. Accordingly, even when a small amount is used as in the case of the silver halide emulsion used in the heat-developable photosensitive material, the time for heating the silver halide emulsion, within the time range from the liquid preparation of the silver halide emulsion to its utilization, can be made short to the utmost, and hence the time elapse in melt can be suppressed. Thus, the time elapse in melt, reagent loss, and mutual contamination in the liquid preparation of photographic reagents can be effectively prevented.
