Absolute offers a full range of carbon-fibre chambered doctor blade systems for all flexo printing applications in the corrugated, coating, tissue and flexible packaging sectors.

Absolute chambered doctor blade system is manufactured from high-strength woven carbon fibre combined with stainless steel components. Unlike unidirectional fibres, the woven carbon fibre:

• ensures stiffness and stability, thus avoiding uneven doctoring on anilox

• provides 300% higher stability than aluminium, so there is no risk of chamber deflection

• is not affected by temperature changes over time, thus preventing any twisting and warping.

Absolute chambers are 65% lighter than their aluminium equivalent and 80% lighter than stainless steel ones. The unique vibration damping construction of Absolute chambers allows the unit to run faster.

Its ink-repellent resin surface enables quick and easy chamber cleaning.

Absolute is the only company that offers a 15 years’ anti-corrosion guarantee on its carbon-fibre doctor blade chambers.

Absolute chambers also guarantee unique features:

• 80% reduction in ink loss for colour change

• 80% reduction in water consumption for ink wash-up.

These features reduce production downtime, improve colour consistency and reduce system maintenance costs as well as environmental costs.
