I have yet to change a hot/press roller on one of these. Still going over PM on Hot. I have been changing the Oil Rollers when the Web PM light comes on, but now it does not kill the machine.

They are rated at 160kOriginally Posted by JHahn7837
Ever had one be bad at 160k ? Highest one I have is 400k and still going.
Exactly.
My experience is that at over 400k the updated fusers don't look quite as smooth and shiny as the web fuser, but at 3x PM does it really matter? Kind of like the difference between a B064 fuser using a web and the previous model with the oil roller. You might be losing 50 or 100k on the hot roller, but it takes a lot less time changing a hot roller every 3rd PM cycle instead of every 4th than it does to change that web every 160k. In any case, as long as it still makes it well over its rated PM life Ricoh really can't complain, and your customers will be happier when you get to your next call a half hour earlier than if you had to rebuild a web.

It sounds very interesting! I will give it a try. Thanks for the PDF! Job well done!
I am with shadow1. Willing to sacrifice a few thousand to avoid the web replacement. However, If the oil roller yields a 160K UFR, no thank you.
It's yielding 400k+ so far as I can tell with no noticeable fuser jamming or copy quality problems.

Sure they can, because that's less parts being sold!
I know where everyone is coming from on this... My manager just hasn't let us do it yet. I might just change two over come Monday, because we have two webs at the shop waiting to be rebuilt, but no webs. And both owners are off to the Savin Connections meeting in Vegas. Sounds like time to take matters into our own hands.
