Feed rollers wear.

[Max]

Has any one tried using green rollers from the older generation copiers like c250 on the new copiers like c360, c451 and the current range? The red rollers cost a fortune but wear out very quickly. Was hoping I could save some money.

Thank you.

A00J563600 - it's about $4.5 with tax
vs.
4030300501 - almost $10.5 with tax

Hehe. The rubber composition is the same the colours makes not difference it just looks pretty. If you replace all 3 at the same time you should get 300K plus on a tray.

What about the one way clutches. Are the whites ones same as the black?.

That is cool to know that both rollers work. My car stock always has a few 4030300501on hand but hardy ever do they stock me on the red rollers. So in the past I had to go back to the office to request them and then go back to customer site.

red rollers are screwed after 100k I always change them around that stage.

The older rollers are actually harder, they are not suitable for the newer machines that allowed thick paper stock in all trays. Have tried this before and the experiment prooved unsuccessful.

The new black ribbed roller can be used as the pickup roller for all machines that use red rollers - it is 1 less roller you will have to change regularly. I have seen them last many hundreds of K and still have not needed to change one.

katun makes decent feed rollers, been using them on the C451 and C650 for the life of them and they work well enough. Thick paper makes them wear faster.

I can confirm the new pick up rollers 4030300501 work very well, i have been using them on the C552 series & C284 with good results

We use the red ones for everything from the Di3510 series all the way up to current models. Saves us a ton of money and they last just as long.

We are using the A5C1562200 new ribbed style for the pick up tire. For the paper feed tire, go with the OEM red tire. We are sourcing direct from China for about 5 dollars or so with free shipping. It takes a couple of weeks to arrive. Go to Aliexpress.com and search A00J563600. We've not had to replace the sep tires much at all.

Oem costs us R50 and that is about $5. This ribbed roller is R25 so i am going to give it a try.
