 Posted: Wed Jun 15, 2005 2:31 pm Post subject: 8000 Dev Rebuild questions. |
  |
|
We have 1 8000. It is in our shop. It has the following meter reading:
SF 2,412,766
LF 0,919,639
The pint quality is poor and loosing a lot of toner at the bottom of the dev unit, between PM's. I have not been trained on the 8000.
I think it is time for a new drum, cleaning roller, and dev unit. I'm not used to this machine so I pulled out the parts manual and no rollers are listed. I called KIP and you have to buy the whole thing. This is not like the 2000 or 6000 that I have experience with and KIP training.
We are looking over 6,000.00 for this change. If I want to rebuild this myself what do I need? What are the part numbers?
Thanks, Ralph |

It does sound as though your dev unit is in need of service. I would think your drum and cleaning roller still have some life left. You can order the dev rebuild kit from KIP at about $3000 and then spend 4 to 5 hours rebuilding that unit, and then hope you got everything right when you put it back in. Or you can send me your unit and I will refresh not rebuild the unit at a cost of $799. You will get another 750,000 to over 1,000,000 sq ft more usage from the unit before it needs to be refreshed again. I currently service over 20 8000's in the field. One of my highest volumes units has over 8,000,000 sq ft on the original developer unit. No rollers replaced ever! Just refreshed every million or so.

The full PM for parts per manual specs is approx 10000 ,
for the developer unit call the doc to refresh, if you want parts at discount call on myself or reprodog |

Definitely call the Doctor for his refresh. Whether or not you need a drum is up to how picky you are. It is not uncommon to get 2.5 to 3 million sf from an 8000 drum.
I believe I am in the process of quoting the owner of your company on drums and other items.
What we ended up doing was buying one 8000 unit and rotating it among the 8000's in our shop. Always have a refreshed unit ready to pop in.
Also, my thanks to the Doctor and the Intern for their many mentions.
