Giving the doctor blade stability

Back-up blades are an essential component in the printing process, providing stability and support to the doctor blade. By reinforcing flatness, rigidity, and flexibility, they help the doctor blade adapt to press conditions, reducing deformation and wear while ensuring consistent ink removal. This results in improved print quality and extended blade lifespan. In addition to structural support, back-up blades apply uniform pressure along the doctor blade, optimizing ink metering and transfer efficiency. Their high hardness and straightness help maintain a stable printing process, minimizing defects and reducing maintenance needs.

Types of Back-up Blades

Back-up blades are primarily made from carbon steel, with variations depending on the carbon content:

  • High-Carbon Steel Back-Up Blades: Offer greater hardness and wear resistance, but are more brittle.
  • Medium-Carbon Steel Back-Up Blades: Provide a balance between hardness and flexibility; suitable for various printing applications.
  • Low-Carbon Steel Back-Up Blades: Have lower hardness but higher toughness, allowing them to resist breakage and maintain flexibility under stress.

Our back-up blades are manufactured using high-quality carbon steel, ensuring durability, precision, and stable performance in gravure and flexographic printing processes.
