Hello,

I recently had to replace the sponge gathering rollers on the finisher of my machine. I opted to not go with the original parts, as from my experience I know that these foam rollers are rather fragile.

I found these rubber roller on AliExpress instead and thought I would give them a try.

Initially they were giving me trouble, but after removing the rubber rollers from their shafts and placing them on the old shafts from the original foam rollers they worked great.

I hope you find this information useful. Hopefully these will last longer than the foam rollers.

I've found the wear on these depends on the customer. Seems if they are doing 2 page staple jobs constantly they wear faster. Also if they don't use the proof tray, you are changing them more. I've only done this once, but seems to be fine (haven't been called back) Order a pair of D6864183 and use them or remove the hub and use the original hubs. They aren't foam and they aren't solid rubber either. The finishers that kick the paper out and draw it back in for stapling use these. I think I am going to use these more instead of those flimsy soft foam ones.
