ABSTRACT:
A cleaning device for removing residual developer particles from a photoconductive element, such as a photoconductive belt, comprises a cleaning sleeve having a length substantially equal to the width of the photoconductive element. The cleaning sleeve includes a thin screen portion having apertures therein. The screen portion is maintained in contact with the photoconductive element. A biasing voltage is applied to the cleaning sleeve. Developer particles pass through the apertures in the screen portion. An auger is located in the interior of the cleaning sleeve. The auger transports the collected developer particles out of the cleaning sleeve where the particles may be either recycled or discarded.
