Doctor blades  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Chamber doctor blade systems are used in the printing units of flexographic printing presses and the coating units of offset printing presses to transfer the ink to the anilox roller, from where it is transferred to the printing plate/cylinder. A correctly adjusted chamber doctor blade system with suitable doctor blades and seals is immensely important for an even and correctly dosed ink transfer to ensure an even and consistent print image.

Flexo printing, offset printing and coating, rotogravure printing, label printing, corrugated pre-print and post-print

We produce each blade tailored to the customer’s requirements, in large
quantities or custom-made in small quantities. Our clients decide
whether we should produce their blades according to original drawings,
sketches or specimens, which steels we use, and how we finish and coat
surfaces. This means we always produce your first choice, with a
precision that can be achieved by almost no one else.
