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: Zeus Feed Rollers
Novel idea on the roller press.
I just might have to try it out.
I have been using Ricoh rollers for color machines in some of my Kyoceras. Very similar roller from what I see in the picture.
The press deserves several likes.
Thanks!!!Comment

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
We have been using the solid gray rollers from the 4035\5035 and km-4050\5050 models and they have been running longer at less then the cost of the originals in the machine. The part number is 2AR07230. They seem to be the ticket for us.Comment

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
I took the liberty to photo-edit in your suggestion. I see a small mechanical issue. To illustrate the point I drew in the rollers as cutaways. Do you think that you can push the 14mm end of the hub through a 10mm oriface?

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
Try this idea. I have two possibly three other design ideas......
Apology for the resolution of the images. They are suppose to be 1280 x 1024 in size.
The images are automatically reduced down in size when uploading to CTN.
Use these images as you wish.
The design is suppose to be used in the vertical upright position against a table surface or floor.
Leave the plunger on the table sitting on it's base and hold the entire main cylinder and roller and then push downward
to the table over the top of the plunger.
The press should first push the hard plastic hub out away from the rubber roller.
The hole either end of the main cylinder is big enough to allow the plastic hub to be pushed back into
the new rubber roller sleeve.

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
So here is my question. when you remove the roller from the drum or whatever the proper name. Is there any orientation you slide the replacement roller into that drum or it does not matter ?.THE ONLY THING FOR EVIL TO TRIUMPH IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING..........edmund burkeComment

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
The neoprene Konica Minolta rollers do not have a grain to the tire material, so it doesn't matter. The Kyocera rollers have a grain to the rubber. Let's see if I can find an illustration:

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
Yes grey konic pickups are in use on 5500's
Orange feed /sep too.

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
I've got two high volume machines 8000i and 8001i running the KM rollers. If we get a month it will be shocking and wonderful. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
You'll be happy
I have used it on 6500 tray 3-4 and it works great.
One off topic rant since a lot of great engineering is going on this thread- The only thing that I am anoyed by is the silly design of feed sensors(photo-reflective) getting dusty a lot.They are just in perfect position next to sep roller, catching all the dust. And the only way to check is to pull the feed units out. You can blow it with air duster but some paper has more additives and its sticky. So cotton swabs and alcohol.. I had idea to make them self clean whenever the paper drawer is pulled out ( there is plenty of lever for a slider with mylar+felt over the sensor) if linked with separation disengage mechanism. Similar system as behind transfer belt run by solenoid, but without solenoid
Hope some smart cookie at Kyo is watching this thread and gives some credit to every developing engineer here

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
Here BlackCat, check that wear on these. 30k no jam yet. Think the separation on Kyo is better handled than on KM. So ideal when meshed together

Re: Zeus Feed Rollers
I finally got off my gluteus-maximus and finished building a Press Roller prototype.
I haven't tested this unit in the field, but so far so good on the test bench.
Now I'll just have to make room in my already overly crammed tool case.
See the attached images :
