Gravure Doctor Blade Holders

Replace worn or damaged blade holders with a holder that features boltless blade clamping and toolless disassembly for wash up.

For today’s rotogravure applications, doctor blade control must be fast and foolproof, with none of the guesswork, mechanical problems, or start-up waste typically attributed to doctor blade performance. These gravure doctor blade systems often do not offer the precision force control, repeatability, position control, and quick blade change capability needed to avoid high operating costs.

All of our holders are custom designed for the application based on proven design concepts and components. We will design your holder to include the options, styles, and features you need and desire. A prototype holder is manufactured first for testing on your press. Upon approval of the prototype, additional blade holders are manufactured to complete the press retrofit.
