New accessory launches, the AGO Quick Pour Funnel
AGO Quick Pour Funnel for smoother chemical handling
The AGO Quick Pour Funnel is a new accessory for the AGO Film Processor. Designed to work with Paterson tanks, it helps make chemical pouring faster, cleaner and more controlled. Many users have mentioned small spills during fast pouring, or slowing down to carefully aim at the inlet, especially in tighter C-41 and E-6 timings. The funnel was created to address these situations and make daily processing smoother.
How it works
The funnel clips onto an assembled AGO and Paterson tank, forming a stable wide opening that guides chemistry directly into the tank. It can stay attached throughout the whole session — even while pouring chemicals out — reducing the need to remove and reattach it during each step.
To remove it, a quick pinch release lifts the funnel off in one motion, without twisting or applying force. This makes cleaning and storing it straightforward.
The funnel is printed from EPDM, chosen for its flexibility, durability and resistance to film chemistry. It is safe up to 50 °C, fitting the needs of C-41, E-6, B&W and RA-4 processes. Cleaning is simple — rinse it under water or wash it with your usual darkroom equipment.
It works with any Paterson tank used with AGO, without needing adapters or extra parts.
Key benefits
Faster and cleaner pouring
Helps guide chemistry into the tank when working quickly or in low light.
Less spillage
Addresses one of the most common user frustrations during fast C-41, E-6 and B&W sessions.
Can stay attached
No need to remove the funnel between steps, which helps keep the rhythm of the session uninterrupted.
Works across all common processes
Suitable for C-41, E-6, B&W and RA-4 thanks to the heat-tolerant EPDM construction.
Easy cleaning
Rinses clean and dries quickly, ready for the next use.
Why users have wanted this
Users have pointed out that missing the Paterson inlet or splashing at the tank edge can slow them down. Others adjusted their pace to avoid spills, reducing the speed advantage of rotary processing. In busier setups — multiple rolls, RA-4 printing, or classroom rotation — these small interruptions add up.
The AGO Quick Pour Funnel offers a simple improvement: a controlled, repeatable way to pour chemistry at any pace without worrying about spills or accuracy.
