Carbon fiber doctor blade is one of the best selling scrapers on the market. It is made of carbon fiber and glass fiber, and has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, wear resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. It is mainly used in paper machine dryer cylinders, chrome-plated rollers, rubber rollers, stone rollers, etc.

Glass Fiber Doctor Blade


Glass Fiber Doctor Blade is also one of the commonly used doctor blade. It is made of ultra fine fiber and epoxy resin. It has good chemical resistance and wear resistance. It can withstand high temperatures up to 185° and can be used for various rollers from paper machine wire section to curling section.

HDPE Doctor Blade


HDPE doctor blade has excellent corrosion resistance, low cost, light weight and good wear resistance. The smooth surface of HDPE doctor blade can reduce friction when in contact with equipment. It is often used for soft rubber rollers and polyurethane rollers in the wet section of paper making machines.

Cotton Fiber Doctor Blade


Cotton fiber doctor blade is compositely processed with natural cotton fiber as the base material. It is mainly used to clean the debris on the surface of the roller in the wet end of the paper machine. Because it uses cotton fiber to avoid scratches when cleaning the roller surface, it can effectively extend the service life of the dryer cylinder and rollers.

Phosphor Bronze Doctor Blade

(2) Regularly check doctor blade system settings and doctor blade wear. (3) Replace doctor blades in a timely manner and do not continue to use excessively worn doctor blades by increasing loading pressure. (4) Pay attention to the spraying and lubrication of the wet section doctor blade.
How to Solve Local Wear and Tear on the Doctor Blade?
It may be caused by static electricity or damage to the clamping frame.
Solution:
The clamping frame needs to be replaced or repaired, and a synthetic doctor blade needs to be used.
Why Doctor Blade is worn corresponding to The Pulp Edge?
This phenomenon is typical wear of the press roller doctor blade, which is caused by excessive lubrication of the roller surface without pulp.
Solution:
It is necessary to open grooves at both ends of the doctor blade to release pressure. (For the doctor blade used for the calendering roll, the doctor blade will also wear due to overheating of the roller surface, which can also be solved by opening grooves at both ends of the doctor blade to release pressure)
Why The Edge of Doctor Blade is Unevenly Worn?
It may be caused by poor roller surface, vibration, or clamping frame. Solution:
Use an abrasive scraper to repair the roller surface, repair the scraper clamp, and eliminate vibration.
