Mounting of side blades and doctor blade
1. Knurled nut for blade adjustment.
2 .Fixing of side wipers.
3. Doctorblade with outward bevelling.
4.Sidewiper.
The doctor blade can be adjusted when there is ink on the anilox roller. Adjust the two knurled nuts so
that the doctor blade can just reach in and wipe off the ink with a light pressure on the anilox roller.
The inking roller is pressed lightly against the anilox roller, giving a thick coat of ink. The blade is
adjusted on the two knurled nuts so the ink is wiped off evenly in the entire width. The levers are moved
up so the ink layer disappears and down until correct pressure is achieved. There will be ink stripes with a
film of ink between them below the doctor blade. The reverse angle blade doses the same quantity of ink
to the anilox roller at all speeds.
