Doctor Blade Frequently Asked Questions

What is the function of a doctor blade?

The doctor blade’s function is to “Doctor” or wipe/remove any ink/coating that remains on the surface of the anilox cell wall regardless of the line count and whether it is a gravure or Flexographic application.

Who are the manufacturers of plastic doctor blades?

Doctor blades that are made from materials other than steel are often given the generic name plastic doctor blades but this is really an inaccurate description.

The modern synthetic blades while some can be described as a plastic or flexible polymer material are more often sophisticated laminates that have been combined to provide stiffness,durability and a wipe action similar to steel.

We offer these many plastic/synthetic blades from one of the earliest suppliers of all types of blades from Allison Systems as one of their distributors based throughout North America.

What kind of doctor blades do Allison systems offer?

Allison systems Corporation offers the widest choice of doctor and retaining blades in the industry today for both Flexographic and Gravure applications.

With their in house expertise built up over decades Allison systems can offer unique composites, steels and profiles for all applications .

Which is the best material for doctor blades?

While most people would lead with steel being the best option for a doctor blade it really boils down to the exact application, chamber system, press, inks,coatings, speeds and substrates all of which have to be taken into account.

This is why you should talk with The Flexo Factor or Allison systems for expert advice . It is quite normal for us to provide free samples at the outset to enable you to evaluate the best option for your specific needs.
