SC Carbon Steel Doctor Blade for Solvent Inks | Dekeer

SC series carbon steel doctor blades for gravure and flexo presses — made from European high-carbon steel strip, hardened to 580-600 HV, running at up to 200 m/min with stable ink metering on ceramic anilox rollers.

• No Streaks or Ghosting: a flawless bevel keeps color stable on long jobs.

• Solvent-Resistant: stands up to aggressive solvent inks and coatings.

• Wholesale OEM: custom widths, thicknesses and lamella edges, 100m coils.

Doctor Blades for Gravure & Flexo Presses — SC Series

Dekeer SC-series carbon steel doctor blades are made for high-end gravure and flexo presses. Multi-stage micro-grinding and dedicated heat-treatment lines give each blade extreme straightness, flatness and a flawless bevel — so print shops see fewer streaks, drag marks and ghosting, and color stays stable across long runs.

Key Performance Advantages of Our Printing Blades

Longer Press Runs

Premium European carbon steel strip endures continuous speeds up to 200 m/min, so blade changes interrupt the press far less often.

Clean Ink Metering

A precision-finished edge keeps stable micro-contact on ceramic anilox rollers for exact metering and consistent ink film thickness.

Resists Aggressive Solvents

Optimized steel microstructure fights wear and corrosion from aggressive solvent inks, varnishes and industrial coatings.

Wholesale OEM Service

Custom thicknesses, slit widths and lamella edge profiles to match any blade clamp design worldwide — straight from the factory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is carbon steel ideal for solvent inks?+
A refined high-carbon matrix hardened to 580-600 HV forms a fine, even wear structure that withstands aggressive solvents while preventing misting.
0.15 mm or 0.20 mm — which thickness should I choose?+
0.15 mm suits fine-screen halftones on high-speed CI flexo presses; 0.20 mm suits heavy coatings where blade stiffness matters.
Do you offer custom sizes and OEM branding?+
Yes — we are the factory. Custom widths, thicknesses, lamella/bevel edge profiles and branded coil packaging for wholesale orders.
Can we test samples before ordering?+
Yes. Test samples are available for distributors and print works to verify fit and quality on press before committing.
