Ceramic Coated Doctor Blade for Gravure & Flexo Printing | Dekeer

Ceramic coated doctor blade for continuous high-speed gravure, flexo and industrial coating. A 10–15 μm dual ceramic layer on imported 20MC1 carbon steel resists wear, stops streaks and keeps ink transfer uniform with solvent, UV and water-based inks.

  • Dual Ceramic Layer: 10–15 μm coating for long service life.
  • High Hardness: 780–810 HV, tensile 1850–2100 MPa.
  • Precision Edge: cylinder-friendly, zero-streak ink metering.
  • Customizable: widths 10–60 mm, thickness 0.152–0.30 mm.

Ceramic Coated Doctor Blade for High-Speed Printing

Built for demanding press rooms, our ceramic coated doctor blade keeps ink metering stable on high-speed gravure and flexo presses as well as industrial coating lines. A premium carbon steel strip carries a micro-thin 10–15 μm dual ceramic layer that shrugs off heavy friction and aggressive solvents.
Because the edge wears slowly and stays sharp, the blade wipes ink cleanly, prevents streaks and holds color uniformity job after job. Solvent-based and water-based inks, UV systems and specialty lacquers are all handled with ease — fewer blade changes, far less press downtime.

Key Performance Advantages

Dual Ceramic Layer

A 10–15 μm twin ceramic layer resists abrasion and stretches blade life well past plain steel.

Made for High-Speed Presses

Runs continuously on fast rotogravure and flexo lines without losing edge quality.

Quality Carbon Steel Base

High-tensile carbon steel strip gives the blade firm spring and steady vibration damping.

Micro-Ground Edge

The micro-polished tip shears ink cleanly and leaves no streaks on the cylinder.

Lower Running Costs

Longer wear life means fewer blade changes and lower day-to-day operating cost.

Consistent Print Quality

Steady contact pressure on anilox and gravure cylinders keeps ink transfer uniform.

Industrial Coating Lines

Suited to continuous coating lines that need long blade life and a steady coat weight.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why choose ceramic coating over plain carbon steel?
Ceramic dramatically improves abrasion resistance, so the blade lasts longer, press downtime drops, and anilox and gravure cylinders are protected from early damage.
What steel grade is used for the base strip?
We use imported 20MC1 carbon steel, chosen for its spring temper, high tensile strength and consistent hardness.
Can you supply custom sizes and edge profiles?
Yes — full OEM customization of width, thickness, edge geometry (lamella, bevel, round) and coating thickness to match your press.
Can I get samples before a bulk order?
Absolutely. Trial rolls of the ceramic coated blade are available so you can test performance on your own line first.
