PRODUCTS
Standard Doctor Blades are available in all types of edge configuration. This is an easy go to choice by printers for high end graphics for flexographic printing. The Uniform blade wear leads to constant tonal values on print.
Advantages
- Higher Durability - Lesser Cylinder Wear - Uniform Printing - Contact Zone with highest Surface quality - Less time to start up - Reduced burr formation - Optimal hardness with special quality tool steel
Stainless Steel Doctor Blades are available in all types of edge configuration. They are excellent choice where water based inks are in use. Exception wear resistance and higher hardness help in longer edge retention. High resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
Advantages
- Higher Durability - Better chipping resistance - Refined microstructure - Contact Zone with highest Surface quality - Qucik break in time - Availbale in pre cut lengths of 25 mtr onwards
Standard Doctor Blades are available in LAMELLA type edges only. This is suitable for Flexo Graphic as well as Rotogravure printing needs. Longer wear resistance leading to higher productivity are the added advantages.
Advantages
- Higher Wear Resistance - Higher run times - Uniform Printing - Lesser blade wear in harsh enviranments. - Negligible or nill burr formation - Smmoth surface finish.
