Can I send you drums to repair in order to evaluate the Rotby System?
The Rotby System is capable of repairing and coating hundreds of different kinds of drums and belts. It is not feasible for us to have on hand all of the different brands of printers and copiers supported in order to test drums sent to us. The Drum Rotator Spray Booth is also custom made for each drum type. As such we are not able to coat and repair drums sent to us. Becoming a Rotby Member is an affordable investment that pays for itself: If you apply our formulas to your drums before they are scratched you should never have to purchase a drum again.
So how CAN I evaluate the Rotby System before becoming a member?
You can see the Rotby System in action for yourself by watching the Demo Video.
The initial investment in the Rotby System is small and the potential gains are huge. If you are not 100% satisfied with the Rotby System you can return it within 30 days and we will fully refund your Membership Fee. Your business is our business and we want you to be successful.

Rotby Formulas and Tools
The Rotby System utilizes the formulas and tools described below to coat and repair laser and copier drums as well as magnet rollers, charge rollers and wiper blades. Members can purchase any of the items described.
Drum Coating
A/7 – Drum Cleaner: A special solvent that cleans the optical drum from toner, ozone residue and other foreign materials without etching or removing any portion of the existing surface, while maintaining low static charge during the cleaning process.
A/6 – Air Pen Reducer: Dilutes and dissolves formulas without damaging the Teflon parts in the airbrush.
A/0 – Drum Coating Stripper: Removes the previous coating from both laser and copier drums without damaging the original layer.
A/3 – Fog Remover/Defogger: Multi-function formula that repairs the foggy spots on laser drums and etches the drum surface to make room for the next layer, leaving a surface that the Super Amber pure formula can bond to. The Fog Remover also replaces the missing, used charge transport layer, all without increasing the drum’s radius.
A/1 – Super Amber Pure: An effective drum coating formula and UV light filter for all laser printer drums. Super Amber Pure provides a new hard coat for extended drum life. In addition, the Super Amber Pure formula acts as a light filter against harmful UV light allowing coated laser printer drums to be safely exposed to direct light. The new layer filters out harmful wavelengths only without lowering the coated drum’s sensitivity to the laser beam.
C/5 Lime Jet Lightener:Provides a hard-coat to copier drums while increasing brightness for lighter prints. This is used to correct copies that have a dark background. When the drum is worn but in good condition, applying the Lime-Jet Lightener extends the drum’s cycle and protects it from chipping and scratching. In addition the formula also blocks out harmful UV light allowing coated copier drums to be safely exposed to direct light. The new layer filters out harmful wavelengths only without lowering the coated drum’s sensitivity to the laser beam.
C/6 Lime Jet Darkener:Provides a hard-coat to copier drums while increasing contrast for darker prints. This is used to correct copies that are washed out. The formula also blocks out harmful UV light allowing coated copier drums to be safely exposed to direct light. The new layer filters out harmful wavelengths only without lowering the coated drum’s sensitivity to the laser beam.
Drum Repair
A/4 – Chip Repair A-B: Repairs small chips and nicks on the laser drum’s surface.
A/4 – Chip Repair C-D: Repairs large and deep chips and nicks on the laser drum’s surface.
A/5 – Scratch Filler Stick: A specialized crayon used to fill the groves in scratched laser drums.
Magnet and Charge Roller Coating
C/9 – Magnet and Charge Roller Etcher: Prepares the base surface of the magnet roller and the charge Roller prior to recoating.
A/9 – Magnet Roller Coating: Increases the electrical conductivity of the magnet roller and creates an easy release of the toner from the roller. This results in a higher attraction of toner to the paper for a darker and sharper print.
A/8 – Charge Roller Coating: Replaces the cracked and worn out layer of the charge roller. The formula controls the electric charge that is transmitted through the charge roller sleeve and creates an even distribution of electrical discharge of the drum.
Wiper Blade Treatment
A/2 – Wiper Blade Guard: Rejuvenates the wiper blade, increasing its flexibility and reducing friction with the drum. The formula also removes also excess toner residue from the wiper blade for a sharper edge and is used to correct the blade’s angle. The treated wiper blade operates smoothly without squeaking or scratching.
Hardware
S/1 – Airbrush Spraying System and Toolkit: Two airbrushes as well as the necessary parts for applying the Rotby Formulas and repairing chips and scratches. An air compressor is not included and should be purchased locally.
B/1 – Drum Rotator Spray Booth: A device to spin the drum during the coating process while sucking up the fumes from the Airbrush System. This provides the drums with an accurate and even coat every time. Our manufacturer custom builds the Drum Rotator Spray Booth to support the size and type of your drums and rollers. If you prefer to assemble it yourself, we can provide you with the specifications.
C/X – The Carousel – Coating Robot: A highly sophisticated, automated robotic drum recoating machine. The Carousel is capable of coating 12 drums at a time, and 50 per hour. The Carousel is designed for very large Rotby Members with mass production requirements.
