Abstract
A cleaning system for cleaning an imaging surface moving in a process direction, including: an abrading brush for uniformly abrading the imaging surface to remove laterally conductive deposits that lead to lateral charge migration therefrom, the abrading brush includes a core defining a core length and having fibers extending outwardly therefrom, the fibers include abrasive particles attached thereto.
Claims12
A cleaning system for cleaning an imaging surface moving in a process direction, comprising:
- an abrading brush for uniformly abrading the imaging surface to remove laterally conductive deposits therefrom, said abrading brush includes a core defining a core length and having fibers extending outwardly therefrom, said fibers include abrasive particles permanently attached to the end or the entire length of said fibers;
- and
- a power supply for biasing said conductive fibers, said power supply applies an AC bias sufficient to generate corona in the brush-imaging surface nip at the ends of the conductive fibers.
