Repairing and Rebuilding the Transfer Belt Cleaners for the V80, V180, V2100, & V3100<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing along the lines of going green, saving some green and keeping stuff out of landfills, let\u2019s see what we can fix this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few months back, we rebuilt the heat belt units\u2026 charming buggers. Now let\u2019s have a look at how the cleaning assemblies come apart. These are really easy to rebuild\u2014I think you\u2019re going to love them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The IBT (transfer belt) cleaning assemblies sell under part number 042k94700, and retail for around $300 at last check (July 2019). Xerox does offer their own factory rebuilt units (part number 641S01070), but those are not always available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IBT cleaning blade is the main component which wears out. They do spare it (033K98760). You can save some money if you choose to replace just the IBT cleaning blade (V80IBTCB). Even better, if you also replace the cleaning brush at the same time, the new blade will last quite a bit longer. The other piece which is available, the mylar seal blade, should only be replaced if it\u2019s damaged (kinked, curled or otherwise deformed). You can pick up a rebuild kit (V80IBTCK), which includes all three pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacing the cleaning assembly is quite simple\u2014only two screws need to be removed from the front end to slide it out. Naturally, it\u2019s likely to drop toner during removal, so make sure you put down a drop-cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On to the rebuild procedure. You\u2019ll want to be very gentle when vacuuming the waste toner out of the unit, especially if the seal blade is in good condition. Use a 5.5 mm nut driver for most of the screws, though on the units I\u2019ve seen, a #2 Philips head screwdriver will suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now to it! Here\u2019s the rebuild procedure, nice and simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PROCEDURE<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. by removing the baffle (2 screws, photo #1). Be careful when handling it, as the metal blade is extremely sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Remove the IBT cleaning blade (2 screws, photo #2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Gently vacuum up waste toner in the auger area and inside the spring-loaded shutter and tube at the rear of the unit. Be extra careful not to hurt the mylar seal blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Take off the front-end cover (2 screws, photo #3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Remove the black gear cover (1 screw, photo #4), and slide the cleaning brush\u2019s gear off (see photo #5 for orientation of the gear).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Photo #4: Remove the front gear cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tip<\/strong>: It\u2019s best to leave the Auger, its gear and the shutter in place, as it\u2019s tricky to re-seat both ends of the auger and the shutter properly. Check the feel of the rotation of the auger before and after\u2014if it feels stiff when turning, the auger isn\u2019t seated properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. At the rear end, remove the tiny e-clip and washer from the end of the cleaning brush (photo #6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Carefully peel up the rear fuzzy end seal, so it\u2019s far enough to release the cleaning brush, then slide the brush\u2019s bushing to the rear and off (photo #7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Remove the cleaning brush and replace it with a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. If the mylar seal blade has any kinks or curling, replace it. Check the positioning of the new seal blade against where the original one lines up first. Then, peel off the old one and clean under it thoroughly (do not leave any adhesive behind). Start at one end and slowly lay the new blade\u2019s peel-and-stick adhesive evenly and slowly to make sure it remains straight. Do not stretch the new seal blade or it will come out wavy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photo #8 & 9: The recommendation is to not remove the auger, its gear or its shutter part, but if you do, the two photos above may prove helpful, as they show how the shutter is situated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

10. Clean everything thoroughly and reassemble it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piece of cake\u2014you did it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After replacing or rebuilding the IBT cleaner assembly, you should reset the counter from the HFSI (high-frequency service items) section of the NVM (non-volatile memory): code 954-876.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hope you all have a wonderful autumn and happy recycling, folks! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
