In a cleaning station for removing residual toner from a photoreceptor in a xerographic printing apparatus, the residual toner accumulates in a hopper, and an auger at the bottom of the hopper removes the accumulated toner. A thin, flexible member forming an agitator extends nearly vertically from the top of the hopper to the auger. Fingers at the end of the agitator contact the flights of the auger. There are between one and three more fingers than there are flights of the auger: the discrepancy causes an undulation of the agitator when the auger rotates. |
