AirSet™ B Doctor Blade Holder

accuflake pro blade holder

The AirSet B doctor blade holder is used in paper and tissue manufacturing. Common applications include suction couch rolls, suction pick up rolls, and suction pressure rolls.

The AirSet B doctor blade holder enhances normal roll dewatering by using air to amplify the natural vacuum effect caused by doctor blades. The conventional, replaceable doctor blade removes water from the surface of the roll, minimizing surface tension. Air is fed into a cavity that is built into the unique shape of the holder and exits at high velocity parallel to the roll surface behind the primary blade. The compact AirSet B doctor blade design retrofits to replace standard DST-E doctor blade holders and similarly sized holders, requiring little or no doctor repositioning.
