Benefits at a glance:

  • minimum straightness deviation
  • best flatness metrics
  • exact edge geometries
  • uniform microstructure means low abrasion and wear

Creping Blade and Coater Blade Steel

In the paper and tissue industry top-quality creping blades and coater blades are a vital component in the production process. Whether paper pulp needs to be evenly distributed or whether paper and cardboard should be coated: the quality of the precision strip steel from which the strippers and scrapers are manufactured always plays a significant role in the productivity of the facility and the quality of the end product. We can also supply pre-machined edges tailored to the customer specific requirements. So if there is a special type of coating blade steel that you need then give us a call!
