Abstract:
A doctor blade holder is disclosed that includes a first member, a second member position adjustment elements, and fluid assisted cleaning elements. The first member includes an elongated edge that is adapted for receiving a doctor blade, and the second member is movably coupled to the first member. The second member is secured to a doctor back. The position adjustment elements are for adjusting the relative position of the first member and the second member. The fluid assisted cleaning elements are for providing pressurized fluid to an area near an elongated edge of the doctor blade. The fluid assisted cleaning elements include at least one plenum within the first member.
Abstract:
A doctor assembly is disclosed for use in a paper-making machine. The doctor assembly includes a doctor blade holder into which a doctor blade may be inserted and the doctor blade holder includes a pressure plate, pressure adjustment system, a support tray, and a bracket in accordance with an embodiment. The pressure plate is for supporting and aligning the doctor blade in a cross machine direction for application to a machine roll. The pressure adjustment system is for adjusting the pressure applied to the machine roll by the doctor blade, said pressure adjustment means including at least one fluid reservoir having a wall that contacts the pressure plate. The support tray for supporting the at least one fluid reservoir, and the support tray includes at least one bracket alignment feature. The bracket is attached to the support tray for pivotal attachment to the pressure plate. The bracket includes at least one tray alignment feature that is coupled to the bracket alignment feature of the support tray to provide proper alignment of the bracket with respect to the support tray.
Abstract:
A doctor blade holder is disclosed that includes first and second members (124, 120) as well as position adjustment means (132, 134). The first member (124) includes a plurality of first member mounting structures (128) that are integrally formed with the first member (124) and are mutually spaced apart from one another along an elongated direction that is parallel with an elongated edge of a doctor blade. The second member (120) is coupled to the first member (124), at least in part, by a plurality of second member mounting structures (130) that are mutually spaced apart from one another along the elongated direction that is parallel with the elongated edge of the doctor blade. The position adjustment means (132, 134) is for adjusting the relative positions of the first member (124) and the second member (120) while the first member(124) is coupled to the second member(120), at least in part, by the plurality of first member mounting structures (128) and the plurality of second member mounting structures (130).
