[Misc] KM Bizhub 7145 New OPC Drum Required 'Desperate'

[Guest]

Hi All
Has anybody out there got a couple (2) new drums for these machines.
I am trying to improve the copy on a 7145 that I managed to obtain for my local church. I picked 2 of these machines up for not much money but obviously you dont get out fa nowt and they need fixing!!!! + Church funds not being to flush need to beg a bit but we do have some cash so not totally broke! Yet!
I have tried everything in the cleaning and the mix and matching and have now got to very feint lines instead of wide black mess but would like to get them better still. I have fitted a new drum wiper which did improve things considerable.
The other parts I'm after is the drum 'bearings'. Seems it is just felt bonded to the plastic bearing halves. Do you make them yourself or are they available?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Luther
Thanks for that but already cleaned c/corona. The felt on the drum bearing halves is all manky with bits missing!

The plastic housing where the drum sits? what plastic halves?

can you take photos...


I can get you drums, they are not super expensive. I would only buy 1 until you know that's what you need.

Those are called "blade seal blocks" even the improved ones are JUNK. If you have the felt still intact use an even thin layer and glue it back on.

The felt things aren't even necessary. They've all rubbed off on the majority of my machines....and those work fine . You said you picked up two of these machines, were both drums shot? Can you upload photos of your faint lines ?

I can get you Bizhub 360s for under 400 each with low meters, and you will never have any issues...

Hi Smellshot
This project seemed like a good idea at the time. Both machines were less than 75 the pair and came with staplers. They did copy without error although the copy was rubbish!!!! First machines drum looked like it had been cleaned with sandpaper so this is going to be used as a standby machine. This sample I am sending you is of the second machine output after cleaning and installing new cleaner blade and cleaning corona grid and wires. Pics are non flash, cause flash bounce caused nothing to be visable. RegardsP1010066.JPGP1010067.JPG

That looks more like a developer issue or even possibly the fuser......

Hi Methogod.
Would love to do a deal for more modern reliable machine problem is empty church funds and dwindling congregation means 'skint'. I have given machines to church and give my time freely to try to fix. I have also bought and installed the maintenance kit for them. I am do hope its not going to cost tooooo much more.

Re: KM Bizhub 7145 New OPC Drum Required 'Desperate'

which way are those test sheets being printed...

8.5x11 or 8.5x11R

LEF or SEF?

I would print face up...
could be decurling roller, what you think may be lines may just background, from not running adjustments.

2 machines, mean you can swap parts and test....

swap fusers, swap cleaner units, swap DV units. ...


some combo will make it work...


what are the meters of the 2 machines?

Thanks Flash
Is that all I have to do? Just reset counter. No other adjustments or tests?
