photographic processing machine

In context this clearly refers to a piece of equipment, lined up with the CTP imagesetter/photosetter which makes the plate(s). "Tren de revelado" is a generic term for photographic film development/processing equipment, used to automate the whole process of colour photographic printing. It was already standard usage in the days of colour film, before digital photography and CTP came along:

"CURSO DE LABORATORIO QUÍMICO
Cursos de Fotografía – Certificado Profesional
Este curso comprende el conocimiento de la película de B y N y su correcto revelado, así como el positivado de los negativos y el copiado de color con calidad profesional, en tren de revelado."
http://www.tvlocal.com/cursoscev/cursos-CURSODELABORATORIOQU...

"Es fácil imaginar el perjuicio creado por la rotura de la película en el interior del tren de revelado. [...]"
José Martínez Abadía, Manual básico de técnica cinematográfica y dirección de fotografía
http://books.google.es/books?id=SDV93M1LKoUC&pg=PA256&lpg=PA...

Although "machine" may sound a bit unsophisticated, it is in fact the standard term:

"Photographic Processing Machine Operators
Operate photographic processing machines, such as photographic printing machines, film developing machines, and mounting presses."
http://online.onetcenter.org/link/summary/51-9132.00

"A method of processing a photographic film in a photographic processing machine of the type including a film developing unit (A), a film drying unit (B), a printing unit (C), a photographic paper developing unit (D) and a photographic paper drying unit (E) that are arranged continuously, said method comprising the steps of feeding the film with a leader (L) attached to the leading end thereof through the film developing unit and the film drying unit to develop and dry the film [...]"

It could be called simply a photographic processor. Better not to include the word "film" with CTP technology, where there is no film as such involved.

Film Developing Process

There are several development processes that can be used to develop the photographic film. Most of these methods only differ in the containers used to carry the chemicals but more or less use the same chemicals in the actual process. There are several processes like the tank method or the tray method for film development. Here is the description of the tank method for development of photographic film:
•Step One: This is the pre-soaking stage. Put some water in the tank; soak the film for a few minutes. The time for which you need to soak the film will differ with the size of the film. After the soaking, pour the water out.
•Step Two: The developer has to be diluted with water according to the standard measurements and then poured into the tank. The diluted developer should now be poured into the tank carefully to completely submerge the film. Once the developer is poured, start the timer and close the push-cap on the tank. Shake the tank by flipping it over for ten seconds after every minute. As the timer rings, pour out the used developer down the drain. Always remember that soaking the film in the developing solution is a crucial stage and the timing for which the film has to be soaked in the solution has to be accurately followed.
•Step Three: Use the stop bath solution (acetic acid) as a stop bath. Fill the tank with the stop bath solution, shake it and pour out the contents. Repeat the procedure twice.
•Step Four: The Fixer helps to fix the image on the photographic film. Pour the fixing solution in the tank and shake it for ten seconds after every minute. Continue the fixing process for five to ten minutes and rinse the rank after that.
•Step Five: Once the fixing process is over, the film can be safely exposed to light. Unscrew the top of the tank and take out the reel. Now fill the tank with fresh water and shake it for half a minute and pour the water out. Repeat this procedure for the following ten minutes. Make sure there are no remnant traces of the fixing agent, since that ruin the entire process.
•Step Six: Pour a small amount of wetting agent into the bottom of the tank and fill the tank with water until the reel is submerged. Make sure to shake the bubbles off the surface of the film and leave the solution for 30 seconds. After that, pour the contents out and take out the reel. Do not by any chance rinse the film now.
•Step Seven: Lift the film off the reel and allow it to unfurl. Make sure that it doesn’t touch the ground or anything else. Hang it up for drying for 4 to 8 hours so it has sufficient time to dry and harden.
Photo Development

Once the negative is ready, it has to be processed and transferred onto a photographic paper. The enlarger, which is an optical apparatus, is used to project the image of the negative onto a base, and finely control the focus, amount, and duration of light incident on the paper. A sheet of photographic paper is exposed to the enlarged image that projects from the negative. During exposure, the dodging and burning techniques can be used to adjust values of the image. These processes include reducing and increasing the amount of incident light selectively for part or all of the exposure time. After exposure the photographic printing paper is ready to be processed. The photographic paper is processed using chemicals in the following order:
1.The print is developed using a photographic developer
2.Rinsing with stop-bath
3.Fixing the image permanently with the use of photographic fixer
4.Washing to remove all the processing chemicals and then finally drying it
Photography is a fascinating art, and to experience the true magic of it you have to get your basics right. Go out with your SLRs, capture all you want and head right to the dark room, to experience the true beauty of photography unfold in front of you...


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_processing
Photographic processing is the chemical means by which photographic film and paper is treated after photographic exposure to produce a negative or positive image. Photographic processing transforms the latent image into a visible image, makes this permanent and renders it insensitive to light.
