Looking for Information on Printer Fusers

**carolinaecycle** · 07-30-2015, 09:08 PM

Anyone know anything about printer fusers.
Friend of mine is going to help me pull them from a bunch of larger printers.
Was wondering if anyone here can give me a little information on them or anyone on here interested in buying them.
I know eBay would be my best bet, just hoping for some advice.

Some do have a core value. Not sure if there are buyers here. Google around they are out there. I don't recall any pricing but did get responses from a couple of places. Seemed that HP was in demand more than others.

Yea I did break the Google search engine the other night before posting, spoke with one rep from a company and they're talking possible 180 day turn around times.

Mostly HP at this point , looks like we'll be getting some lexmark and dell too.

So far total is 25 fusers, started saving the toner too, as much as I hate the stuff

Model numbers
hp q7814a 19 total
dell 3100 cn 3 total
hp 3050 3 total

Fuser units are in laser printers. They are what heats the toner and makes it stick to the paper. they have to be replaced every so often, but will run for quite a long time before needing to be replaced. They come out as a unit similar to a toner cartridge, but it has a heavy roller and some other parts. You have to be careful not to damage it when getting it out or it has no value to be refurbished.

Hope that helps!

I just learned that many fuser roller assemblies contain 7oz of clean #2 copper. Previously, I thought that they used some type of wire (not copper) heating element.
