Does anyone know if anyone sells the charge roller that you clean in the PCU for the MPC3500/4500 units?

Thanks

just clean off the protective sleeve and it will work 100% tested it and the result was and is great.

...and remove the cleaning roller at the same time

Do you guys mean that soft rubbery grey crap that ive removed by accident when cleaning it then freaked out and fitted a new PCU? Is the grey rubbery stuff the protective coating?

These drums would go forever if it wasnt for the charge rollers failing early in winter. Oh yeah - and the odd arc spots every now and then....

We always clean the charge rollers once, then next visit replace the PCU at around 150%....Some go for waaaaay more than 255% depending on the site, but maybe ALL will last if we remove the rubber coating? The CHG rollers are definately the weak spot on these drums - and they fit in every model up to the 03 range so there could be a HUGE cost saving here.

I remove the cleaning roller, then clean all the surface colour off the charge roller using scotchbrite and alcohol, once the roller is uniformly cream in colour, I use a clean cloth with alcohol to clean off any final dirty marks, then ensure it's completely dry before refitting to the PCU

All good information, but it does not answer the question.

Does anyone know if this charge roller can be ordered? It must be the same as something else. Rarely are they unique.


Thanks

I would be very careful about ordering from some one in knew nothing about. I do not even trust Ebay.

I just answered his question. I wouldnt use them either unless I was in a pinch. My charge rollers for that model have been perfoming well, much better than before they redesigned the pcu.

I guess that some people have not figured out how to remove the charge roller assembly to clean it.

Again , thanks for info BUT I already know about cleaning and Chinese suppliers and such. My simple question was referring if anyone knew if these were the same as any others. Didn't mean to cause everyone to answer everything BUT that!
