DOCTOR BLADES

We play a pioneering role in the area of fibreglass scraper blades. We were one of the first to employ glass fibres to reinforce plastics and so have developed a very high quality fibre composite concept.
Fibreglass-reinforced composite systems have a relatively low elasticity modulus compared to other reinforcing fibres. Their advantage is a high breaking elongation and elastic energy absorption combined with excellent resistance to chemical corrosion. Doctor blades made from this material are employed in areas with higher levels of mechanical loading.
Our experienced service technicians can assist you with the selection of the right blades for your particular application.

Carbon fibres exhibit very good electrical and thermal conductance. The fibres are very strong and stiff whilst simultaneously having a low breaking elongation.
The doctor blades that we manufacture exclusively from carbon fibre fabric also have a very good cleaning effect. They were developed for areas with high levels of mechanical loading.

Thermoplastics are plastics than can be deformed above a defined temperature. They can be further subdivided on the basis of their thermal, chemical or mechanical characteristics.
In the thermoplastics field we offer doctor blades with and without fabric inlay. The fabric inlay provides improved characteristics such as higher strength combined with better cleaning effects. Nevertheless, the cleaning effect on the roll and cylinder surface remains gentle.

Our metal doctor blades are made from high-quality materials and are in widespread use in paper machines.

In order to increase the service life of coater blades and creping doctors, their blade tips are coated with a wear-protection layer. Ceramic layers and metal-ceramic composites (cermets) are used for this.
Different layer and wear characteristics, such as hardness and material removal, are required depending on the customer’s specific application. Accordingly, our product range offers a broad spectrum of possible coating types so that our application technicians are able to develop an ideally-tailored product for each individual customer.
Our uncoated creping blades and coater blades are manufactured from high-quality materials. They are used as an alternative to coated creping doctors and coater blades, depending on the local requirements.
