Canon iR Advance C5030 / C5045 / C5235 / C5245 Drum Cleaning Blade – "Old Version"
Product Overview Restore professional-grade image clarity to your Canon copier with our Premium Drum Cleaning Blade (Old Version). This specialized wiper blade is engineered specifically for the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5000 and C5200 series, fitting the early-generation GPR-31, GPR-39, NPG-45, and NPG-46 drum units.
Because the iR-ADV C5000/C5200 series underwent a mid-cycle revision to its drum unit housing, it is essential to use this "Old Version" blade for original, early-style drum units. It features a high-resilience polyurethane edge designed to remove residual toner from the OPC drum surface without causing surface wear.
Key Features:
- "Old Version" Precision Fit: Designed with the specific screw-hole alignment and frame dimensions required for early-generation C5035/C5240 drum housings.
- Industrial-Grade Polyurethane: Features a sharp, durable cleaning edge that maintains a perfect seal against the drum to prevent vertical streaks and "backgrounding."
- Universal Color Compatibility: Suitable for use in all four drum positions: Black (K), Cyan (C), Magenta (M), and Yellow (Y).
- Cost-Efficient Rebuild: An ideal solution for service technicians looking to rebuild the drum unit rather than replacing the entire expensive assembly.

Technician’s Maintenance Tip:
The Canon C5035/C5240 series is sensitive to "blade flip." Before installing this Old Version blade, you must verify the version of your drum unit. The "Old Version" blade generally has a different mounting bracket shape than the "New Version."
Pro-Tip: Never install the blade "dry" against the OPC drum. Apply a thin, even layer of Setting Powder (Kynar) or a small amount of yellow toner to the yellow polyurethane edge. This provides the necessary lubrication for the first few seconds of rotation, preventing the blade from sticking to the drum and damaging the drive gears or the drum surface.
