Summary

Black and white photograph of the gelatine pasteurisation room on the 2nd floor of Building 2, Emulsion Department, at the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory, Coburg circa 1963.

The gelatine pasteurisation room is situated directly above the finishing room and houses three kettles. The smallest kettle, (partly shown on extreme left) is of 60 U.S. gallon capacity, and the other two (fully pictured) are each of 100 U.S. gallon capacity. After pasteurisation, the gelatine is run from the kettle through the Mono pump (right foreground) to the Ekwip 21P filter (left foreground), and then through the drawdown line to the Finishing Room.
