Overview
Manual Rotating Base for Development Tank 137 x 90 x 36 mm Wheels with Bearings Plastic Black for Rotational Development of Films in Darkroom

The manual rotating base is designed for the rotational development of films in a development tank without an expensive motorised processor. The tank is placed horizontally on four wheels and during development, it is simply rotated by hand back and forth or continuously in one direction. The base has dimensions of 137 x 90 x 36 mm, making it suitable for any work surface or a small bathroom converted into a darkroom. The wheels feature plastic bearings in the centre, allowing the tank to rotate smoothly and evenly. The base is ready to use straight out of the box and requires no assembly.

The base is made from 2.7 mm thick plastic, which is sufficiently rigid to support a tank filled with solution. It is suitable for development tanks for 135, 120 films and 4x5 inch sheet films with two spirals, as well as the CombiTank 1530 with three spirals. Rotational development aids in the even flow of developer across the entire surface of the film and is favoured by photographers who desire repeatable results without constantly flipping the tank. The black colour of the base is practical and does not attract attention in the darkroom.

Place the base on a flat and stable surface, preferably in a tray or on a mat that catches any drips of solution. Position the closed tank with film and chemicals on the wheels and rotate it by hand at a steady pace throughout the development process. Between steps, lift the tank, pour out the solution, and pour in more. After use, wipe the base with a damp cloth to ensure no chemical residues remain on the wheels that could hinder their rotation. Store the dry and clean base along with the tank and spirals, so it is ready for the next development session.

The manual rotating base is an affordable way to achieve rotational film development in a home darkroom. Its compact dimensions of 137 x 90 x 36 mm allow it to be stored in a drawer with other equipment. The wheels with bearings ensure smooth rotation of the tank and even mixing of the solution. The base is suitable for 35mm film tanks, roll films, and sheet films, and will be particularly appreciated with the CombiTank 1530. It is ideal for both beginners and experienced photographers who wish to develop films more comfortably.
