AGFA Mamoray Classic E.O.S.
AGFA · Model Mamoray Classic E.O.S.
For reliable mammography optimized processing with reduced chemical costs, look no further than the MAMORAY Classic E.O.S. processor. Agfas Ecologically Optimized System With Agfa's unique "Ecologically Optimized System" approach, the MAMORAY Classic E.O.S. processor allows you to comply with ecological standards while reducing fixer consumption, silver content in the wash water and water consumption. The silver content in the washing water is reduced to 1 ppm at regular water consumption rates, and to 50 mg/m² at reduced water consumption rates. Excellent image quality The racks in the MAMORAY Classic E.O.S. processor have been specially designed for dedicated mammographic processing or for mixed processing of general radiographic and mammographic images. The result is image quality that meets the most stringent regulations imposed by different countries. The MAMORAY Classic E.O.S. processor offers you a choice of processing cycles: RP (Rapid Processing) and EXT (Extended Cycle), providing you with optimum image quality of your films. IP (Intermediate Processing) will be added to new E.O.S. universal software. Photographic consistency The developer temperature can be selected and monitored through a control panel. The developer temperature will be controlled within a tolerance rate of ±0.3 °C. Room to insert a thermometer to calibrate and monitor the photochemical process has been foreseen. The automatic jog cycle will replenish the chemicals at regular intervals to ensure optimum processing conditions. All these features contribute to consistent image quality, facilitating daily quality control. User-friendliness The MAMORAY Classic E.O.S. processor's functions are microprocessor-controlled. Its user-friendly control panel has an interactive 2 x 16 digit LCD display (12 languages). The MAMORAY Classic E.O.S. processor offers you the very best in processing technology. Its infrared drying modules provide superior drying performance and generate low heat so as not to disturb the working environment. Easy installation A single phase, 15/16 A wall outlet and standard plumbing connections are all you need to install the MAMORAY Classic E.O.S. processor properly.
Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Poor film quality (density / contrast / fog)
HighSymptoms: Films too light / dark, low contrast, chemical fog, streaks or drag marks.
Root cause: Exhausted or wrongly mixed developer / fixer, wrong replenishment rate, or a temperature-control fault.
Transport jam / film not advancing
MediumSymptoms: Film jams between racks, crossovers or the dryer, transport stalls.
Root cause: Worn or dirty transport rollers / gears, or a chain / drive fault.
Temperature not held
MediumSymptoms: Developer temperature drifts, density varies day to day.
Root cause: Heater, temperature sensor, or the circulation pump.
Replenishment / chemistry pump fault
MediumSymptoms: Chemistry not topped up, tanks over/underfilling, pump not running.
Root cause: Replenishment pump or float / level sensor.
Dryer fault
LowSymptoms: Films come out damp, dryer not heating or the blower not running.
Root cause: Dryer heater or blower.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Daily QC per modality: image-quality phantom test
- ·Tube and detector inspection
- ·Annual state-required radiation safety survey
- ·Vendor-scheduled preventive maintenance
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Poor film quality
- Run a sensitometric strip and compare density / contrast / base-fog to the control chart.
- Confirm the chemistry is fresh, correctly mixed and at temperature.
- Check the replenishment rates against the spec.
- Clean the transport racks and crossovers.
- Drain, clean and re-fill with fresh chemistry if it is exhausted.
Symptom: Transport jam
- Remove and inspect the rack where the film jams.
- Clean the rollers and check the gears / chain for wear.
- Confirm the drive turns all racks.
- Replace worn rollers or a rack.
- Run several test films.
