Environmentally friendly product development

Kyocera is committed to implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Since the 1990s, we have been working to develop products with materials and components with extended service life, such as high-durability amorphous silicon drums, as part of our ongoing commitment to good environmental stewardship. In addition to developing useful functions and features, we are constantly looking to enhance and improve our products in key areas such as power consumption, component service life, and resource reuse and recycling.

Long-life Design

Our ECOSYS product concept focuses on extending the life of the mechanical parts, which are involved in creating the printed image, to the maximum extent possible. This will reduce the frequency of replacing parts and the number of parts that will end up as waste. Since running costs can also be minimized, there are both economic and environmental advantages. Our various unique technologies for extending service life are the driving forces that have made this dream a reality.

New Long-life a-Si Photoreceptor Drum

The a-Si (amorphous silicon) photosensitive drum, which forms the core of the ECOSYS Concept, was first introduced in the first-generation ECOSYS printer, the “ECOSYS FS-1500,” in 1992. It boasted industry-leading longevity of 300,000 pages as a device.
In 2011, a-C (amorphous carbon) thin film, which has a hardness close to that of diamond and superior durability, was adopted as the surface protection layer for the conventional a-Si photosensitive drum. This extended the lifespan of the photosensitive drum to over 1 million pages, ensuring exceptional durability.
Furthermore, since 2016, a sub-micron-sized (1/10,000 millimeters) fine irregular shape has been formed on the outermost layer of the drum surface. This reduces friction with the cleaning blade by approximately 30%, prolonging the lifespan of peripheral devices. As a result, the photosensitive unit achieves an industry-leading lifespan of 600,000 pages (φ30mm photosensitive drum).

Moreover, by reducing friction, the power consumption during photosensitive drum operation is reduced by 30%, making a significant contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions. The a-Si photosensitive drum has fast photosensitivity, enabling it to be integrated into high-speed engines. Additionally, the electrostatic latent image formed by laser light is sharp, allowing for high-resolution image formation.

Ozone-free

Our products use photoreceptor units that can be used with a positive charge and curb the generation of ozone, such as an amorphous silicon (a-Si) drum and a PSLP*³ drum. In overhauling the old charging system, we’ve combined a positively charged photoreceptor drum and a roller charging system to reduce the amount of ozone generated by the machine to an almost undetectable level. We have been using this ozone-free design since 2010.
