Is there a trick to reduce the center gouge that starts to appear after only a few dozen k prints?

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
If you think of one I'd like to hear it. I've got a bunch of bizhub 423's that the heat roller never makes more than 240K (on a 480K yield fuser).
There is a Chinese supplier of heat rollers, but to make it worthwhile you've got to make a minimum order of 50. Care to split the order?If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
If this is the same issue as with the BH-350 B&W machines we cover the thermistors with thermistor tape. Before we push carefully the little thermistor "bulb", which protrudes out of the surrounding cushion, back with a wooden toothpick or match.
Good results until now.

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
BTW, be careful with some of those Chinese UFR's. I got one type which didn't last more than 10K. The Teflon surface was not black or dark grey as usual but a rather light grey color. From the same manufacturer we got also UFR's for the Di-450/550 with exactly the same problem.
It seems as if the Teflon was not hard enough to withstand the friction of thermistor and separator fingers.
Hate to admit but had to go back to Katun for the moment.........

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
Yes Cat, We are using Katun fuser rollers for the DI-Series and also the BH B&W machines. They are not worse than the OEM but cheaper.
I'm getting regularly parts from China from aftermarket suppliers/manufacturers but one has to be very careful. Quality is not constant even when the same item is coming from the same manufacturer another time. Also their way of handling and the communication with them is not easy. Recently I got a bunch of parts very different from what I ordered. I had the feeling that they just threw parts in the boxes to complete the total quantity regardless of type and use of those parts.

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
I've got six fusers sitting in the graveyard with 240K. I'd be delighted to see those fusers reach life. Thanks again for the good advice. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:

After 200/250/350 I was shocked to STILL see this problem on the 223 series.

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
Give the Thermistor Tape Method a try. Its worth it.After 200/250/350 I was shocked to STILL see this problem on the 223 series.
Don't forget to push the thermistor bulb carefully inside as much as possible.

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
Do you have a code to order the thermistor tape from KM?Comment

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
Its not from KM. My buddy from the USA got it for me from Precision Roller.
I had to do one today so I made some pictures of the procedure.

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
Here's an example. LFR for the Di-450 from China. Made 600 copies only then it disintegrated. The LFR bearings (OEM) where new ofcourse as well as the lower picker fingers so that could not be the cause of this damage. It seems that the silicone didn't bond to the metal core and became loose causing bubbles in the rubber which than tore because of the friction.parts from China from aftermarket suppliers/manufacturers but one has to be very careful. Quality is not constant even when the same item is coming from the same manufacturer another time.

Re: Mid volume bizhub heat rollers
"Ten Bucks"????A lot of the time trying to save ten bucks costs you 100 bucks in callbacks.
LFR for the Di-450 from Katun costs USD 110.00 (OEM would be even more, you must know) The same roller from Chinaman USD 15.00
So if I need ten pieces I save USD 950.00.........
Darren, for a small company like ours this makes a very big difference. Usually most of the aftermarket parts work well but you have to know your partners overthere.
