UHMW Doctor Blades

 

Pros of Plastic Doctor Blade

Enhanced Safety: A huge advantage of plastic doctor blade is their enhanced safety. Unlike metal, they don't develop sharp edges when worn, significantly reducing the risk of operator cuts and injuries. This fosters a safer working environment and can lower worker's compensation costs.


Anilox Roll Protection: Being significantly less abrasive than steel, plastic materials are considerably gentler on anilox rolls. This leads to a substantial extension of anilox roll lifespan, cutting down on repairs or replacement frequency and costs.


Reduced Ink Spitting: Many modern plastic doctor blade formulations and tip designs are engineered to minimise or eliminate ink spitting, contributing to cleaner and more consistent print results.


Durability and Extended Life: Plastic doctor blades now boast impressive wear resistance, often surpassing traditional steel blades, especially for abrasive inks. This ensures consistent metering for longer print runs, cutting down on blade changes.


Corrosion Resistance: Plastic doctor blades are inherently resistant to corrosion from water-based and UV inks, which can be an issue for some uncoated steel blades.


Flexibility and Conformity: Some plastic doctor blades are more flexible, helping them better conform to minor anilox roll irregularities and create a more uniform ink application.

 

Edge Shapes of Plastic Doctor Blade

Standard (STD)

A plastic beveled edge shape with a nominal 20° – 55° bevel angle depending on material. Provides good tip support and wiping characteristics.

Seal Relief (SLR)

A plastic material beveled edge shape with a nominal 10° to 15° bevel angle, depending on material. Long bevel profile to help reduce ink leakage past the flexo chamber end seals.

Unhoned (UNH)

An unhoned plastic blade has a square edge and is typically used for flexo chamber containment blade applications and limited use as flexo doctor blades on low line screen corrugated anilox rolls.

 

The Role of Plastic Doctor Blade

Plastic doctor blades play a vital part in achieving high-quality and uniform print results throughout the job.


In closed chamber doctor systems, which are widely used in flexographic printing machinery, there are two opposite blades in action:


The plastic doctor blade actively scrapes off excess ink or coating from the rotating anilox roller screen in the printing deck. This is crucial for an even dosage and transfer of ink from the anilox to the printing plate.

 

The precision of ink application directly impacts print quality.


The retaining blade, also called containment blade, has a sealing function. It seals the chamber against the anilox roller over its length. The containment blade ensures that the ink or varnish remains in the chamber and lets fluid from non-emptied cells in the anilox roller pass back into the chamber.
