PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of manufacturing a resin-layer coated carrier excellent in charging stability while reducing an environmental load due to the use of a large amount of a solvent as a problem with a wet method. SOLUTION: In the method of manufacturing a resin-layer coated carrier, the resin-layer coated carrier is manufactured by stirring magnetic base particles and resin fine particles in a powder passage by using a manufacturing apparatus provided with a rotary stirring section including a rotary disk circumferentially provided with a stirring blade and a rotary shaft, and the powder passage including a rotary stirring chamber and a circulation tube. The method includes: a fine resin particle adhering step where magnetic base particles and fine resin particles are inputted into the powder passage with the rotary stirring section rotating, and the fine resin particle are adhered onto a surface of the magnetic base particle; a spraying step where at least a liquid that plasticizes the fine resin particles is sprayed with spray gas from a spraying section on the magnetic base particle and the fine resin particle which are in a fluidized state in the power passage; and a film-forming step, where rotation by the rotary stirring section is continued to fluidize the magnetic base particles and the fine resin particles until the fine resin particles adhered to the magnetic base particles are softened to form a film.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a coated carrier for suppressing decrease in a conveyance amount caused by changes in a carrier shape with lapse of time, and maintaining high quality image output for a long period of time. SOLUTION: The carrier 1 is a coated carrier having wear resistance and comprising a carrier core material 6 and a coating layer 7 coating the carrier core material 6, in which the surface of the carrier core 6 is partially exposed. When a shape factor (SF-2) of the carrier core material 6 is denoted as a first shape factor, that of the initial carrier 1 is denoted as a second shape factor, and that of the coated carrier changed by wear of the carrier core material 6 and the coating layer 7 of the initial carrier 1 is denoted as a third shape factor, respectively, the first shape factor ranges from 120 to 150, and a ratio of the third shape factor to the second shape factor is not less than 90%. Thereby, as a wear balance in the resin coated portion where a concave portion is formed can be optimized and decrease in the shape factor with time can be prevented, decrease in a conveyance amount of the developer can be suppressed.
