The JOBO SilverBase Processor makes developing your own black-and-white film in rotary processing as easy and cheap as never before. The compact device impresses with its simple design and the JOBO-typical elements. A power plug provides power to the unit to allow rotation of the magnetically coupled tanks in either direction. Changing the direction of rotation ensures that the entire surface of the film is washed particularly well and at the same time avoids the formation of bromide plumes. The compact electronic control including the motor is enclosed in a small housing that has the exact dimensions of the 1510 tank.

The JOBO SilverBase does not have a water jacket which makes it is very compact and economical. Since black and white development usually takes place at room temperature, the JOBO SilverBase is perfectly suited for this. The development of film in rotary processing uses only half as much chemicals as tilt development and leads to absolutely reproducible results due to the constant agitation. Just 120 ml of developer is required per film. .

All tanks from the 1500 series can be coupled to the JOBO Silverbase, as well as the 2520 tank from the 2500 series. This means that not only 35mm and roll films can be developed in the JOBO Silverbase, but also 4x5' sheet films with the 2509N reel in the tank 2520

Adam ★★★★★

Set up took maybe ten minutes and the rotary action is smooth as butter, no wobble at all. For the price, this thing makes home B&W processing feel completely effortless, I’m genuinely shocked how quiet it runs too.

Lily ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised how straightforward the rotary processing setup is—just set the bottle on the base and it agitates perfectly. Takes up barely any counter space and the simple controls make it a breeze.

Olivia F. ★★★★★

I set this up in my darkroom last weekend and the simple design made it incredibly intuitive to get started. The rotary processing is smooth and even, saving me time and chemicals compared to my old manual method.
