CineStill TCS-1000 – Temperature Control System – UK Plug Cinestill

Description

The °Cs “Temperature Control System” Cinestill TCS-1000 immersion circulator/thermostat is the simplest solution for precision film processing at home.

The TCS-1000 system allows you to heat up your chemistry to the precise processing temperature, and maintain it during the entire developing session – whether you’re developing B&W, colour negative, colour slide or B&W positive!

The universal design holds two 1000ml. storage bottles (Collapsible Accordion style, Wide-Mouth, JOBO, etc.) in a sink, tub, or basin of your preference, at the desired temperature.

It comes with a perfectly intuitive interface preset to standard C-41 processing, and easily adjustable temperature and timers for any process.

The Cinestill TCS-1000 mixes and heats chemistry in a 1000ml. pitcher in seconds, without splatter, spill or additional oxidation.

You can also reheat chemistry that has been preserved in the fridge for longer shelf life.

This is the UK model – with the plug complying with UK electrical requirements straight out of the box.

Main Features

• An intuitive ready-to-use interface does not require additional timers, downloading phone apps, nor connecting to bluetooth/wifi
• Display and firmware are pre-programmed to process film with an adjustable two-stage timer for any process (C-41, E-6, B&W, etc.) in Min : Sec
• There is simple toggling between °C/°F readouts
• Universal bottle holder holds two 1000ml. storage bottles (collapsible accordion style, Wide-Mouth, JOBO, etc.) in a sink, tub, or basin of your preference
• PTC heating element, brushless DC motor and moulded polymer impeller
• Stainless steel housing
• Ground protection and temp/water level/overheat protection sensor
• UK electrical plug

Advantages over kitchen appliances

There are of course similar products out in the world that are designed to help with cooking and baking, even mobile foot-spas have a similar mechanic! And these products all helped formed the inspiration for the Cinestill TCS-1000.

However there are obviously significant advantages to using a product custom-built for film developing rather than trying to adapt something from your kitchen or bathroom!

The Cinestill TCS-1000:

• Has user-adjustable precise constant temperature control, from 0°C to 95°C (+/-0.1°C), compared to cooking appliances which are only consistent between 45°C to 99°C (film processing ranges between 18°C – 40°C).
• Heats, mixes and circulates chemistry or temperature control bath, maintaining consistent accurate temperature (within +/-1°C of user setting) throughout the entire bath (1-20L).
• Contains positive thermal coefficient (PTC) heating element heats/cools quickly and is more stable and durable than standard metal heating tubes, which run too hot and rust.
• Features a display and firmware designed for processing film, starts up ready to process color film with adjustable two-stage timer for any process (C-41, E-6, Df96 monobath, etc.) in Min : Sec
• Has a high efficiency DC brushless motor offers fast speed, low noise, does not give off heat when processing film at lower temperatures, and has a life cycle over 4,000 working hours, 20-30% longer than most kitchen appliances. Combined with moulded impeller has a max circulation capacity of up to 20L.
