Abstract: A stabilization processor is provided having activator, stop, stabilizer and rinse baths sequentially arranged therein. A plurality of pairs of upper and lower rollers are provided with at least one pair being disposed in each bath. The upper rollers in each pair of rollers is driven by a worm gear, while the lower roller is driven by frictional coaction with the upper rollers and the stabilization paper. The movement of the rollers urges the stabilization paper through the stabilization processor. The rotation of the lower roller transports the chemical solution in each bath into contact with the stabilization paper. The stop bath assures no contamination of the stabilizer bath by the activator solution. A pumping and recirculation system is provided for each bath. The recirculation system enables complete draining of the stabilization processor during periods of non-use.
