SPECIAL FEATURES

Doctor Blades (Optional)

A new design especially for these quick-change stations has been developed. It is much faster to install or remove than any we have seen. A doctor blade system has also been designed for station 1. It has long been thought to be impossible to do this with a station that runs "backwards". The quick-change system now makes it possible. The anilox and meter roll may be removed from the station without removing the blade holder. The blade holders accept the same blades as the existing 830 system.
