Toner Cartridge Abstract
Systems and methods for precision separation of the toner hopper section from the roller section of a spent plastic toner cartridge along the seam joining the two sections and without loss of significant amount of the plastic material that forms the cartridge, resulting in separated components that facilitate re-assembly to OEM specifications, by precisely positioning a cartridge in a jig, then splitting the cartridge by forcing pneumatically operated blades along the seam, the blades being configured to precisely split a specific cartridge design without significant loss of material.
