APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CLEANING MEDIA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning medium cleaning apparatus for easily separating fine particles such as toner stuck to magnetic material cleaning media in order to reuse the magnetic material cleaning media on which fine particles are adsorbed. SOLUTION: The cleaning medium cleaning apparatus is provided with an adsorptive member 3 for adsorbing fine particles and a magnetic barrel 10 for stirring the fine particle-stuck magnetic material cleaning media 1 on the member 3. The fine particles stuck to the media 1 are adsorbed on the member 3 by electrifying the member 3 to have the polarity reverse to those of the fine particles by stirring the barrel 10 and generating Coulomb force on the member 3.
