The Lift for the Jobo CPP-2 and CPA-2 Processors is used to provide lab-quality processing of film and prints.
The Lift makes these processors easier to use, but it's not required to use the processors (except when using the Expert drums).
The Lift incorporates a transfer-gear that connects to the cog gear on the tank.
These CPP-2 & CPA-2 processors are designed for advanced amateurs and small labs.
I've used a lift on my CPP-2 for about seven years. Finally the old one broke as a result of lifting heavy drums so many times, so I had to buy a new one. From now on, I'll help it when lifting heavy drums.
Hello! The official information from JOBO is The CPE-2 Plus Lift Accessory makes the CPE-2 Plus easier to use. Simply pour liquid into the top of the Lift to start a chemical or rince step, then pull back on the handle to drain the step when complete. Your hands remain dry during the entire process, processing times are precisely maintained, films and prints are covered evenly and quickly, and the chemical is easily recovered. Thru is that this Lift is the best (and only one, sorry guys) solution for tabletop processor from JOBO. If You have a lot of work - price is nothing. But if You are about big print processing (more then 50x60 cm) - the tank is really weighted. And some supporting of another (right) hand is always needed. Because, If You use only one left hand - the lever frequently cracked. And Use additional rolls for big tank. Always.
