Our years of application experience has helped us design doctor blades that operate under a variety of doctoring conditions. As one of the largest suppliers of doctor blades in the world, we have in-house resources dedicated to the ongoing development of blades that meet challenging new applications in today's high-production machines.
Whether you need doctor assemblies, blades, holders, tail cutters, or other related component, Kadant is the one to call.
Doctoring Systems
Custom-designed assemblies integrated with the machine to clean the rolls and peel the sheet from the roll during a sheet break or a system upset.
Doctor Blades
Sold under the Lodding and Vickery names, these are replaceable items of both metal and synthetic materials that contact the roll surfaces to remove stock accumulations, water, pitch, and filler buildup. Our blades are produced using more than 27 standard and advanced materials, depending on the application.
Automatic Tail Cutters
These systems assist the papermaker in rethreading the sheet through the paper machine by automatically cutting the sheet from its full width to a predefined tail threading width after a sheet break or during start-up. Tail cutters are available in both standard pressures for wet end use and high pressure for dust-free operation on the dry end of the machine.
Profiling Systems
Our patented, microprocessor-controlled Steam-Foil® works in conjunction with a scanning gauge system that detects uniformity gloss. The system uses the signal to apply steam to the paper to enhance the gloss and reduce the curl.
