20120167330 | DOCTOR BLADE HOLDER - A doctor blade holder system is disclosed that includes a doctor blade holder that includes a doctor blade receiving region for receiving a doctor blade, and an actuation system for causing the doctor blade receiving region to be selectively moved toward or away from a roll surface by rotating the doctor blade holder about a first axis, wherein the doctor blade holder system is generally circular shaped in cross-sectional area and wherein the first axis is generally centrally locate with the generally circular cross-sectional area. | 07-05-2012 |
20150075742 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DOCTOR BLADE LOAD AND VIBRATION MEASUREMENT AS WELL AS BLADE VIBRATION MITIGATION - A doctor blade cartridge for use in a doctor blade holder is disclosed. The doctor blade cartridge is for receiving a doctor blade, and includes at least one blade supporting member, wherein the blade supporting member is sufficiently stiff to support the doctor blade and includes load indication means for providing a signal indicative of at least one of blade supporting member strain and blade supporting member deflection. | 03-19-2015 |
20150075928 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING DOCTOR BLADE HOLDERS WITH VIBRATION MITIGATION - A self-compensating tube assembly is disclosed for use in a doctor blade holder. The self-compensating tube assembly includes a tube including a membrane that encloses a liquid with a substantially invariable bulk modulus of elasticity, density and viscosity; and chatter responsive for providing any of monitoring means of blade chatter through pressure, damping of blade chatter, and minimizing blade chatter. | 03-19-2015 |
20150122444 | DOCTOR BLADE HOLDER SYSTEMS - The invention provides a doctor blade holder system that includes a doctor blade support structure, an adjustment profiling plate, and a series of adjustment mechanisms. The doctor blade support structure includes an elongated slot for receiving a doctor blade and a separate elongated slot to house mounting hardware. The adjustable profiling plate causes pressure to be applied to the working blade in a continuous manner along the length of the working blade, wherein the profiling plate is mounted to a holder mounting plate with a series of pairs of mounting structures allowing unconstrained flexure, or rotation, of the profiling plate with respect to holder mounting plate around two axes. The series of adjustment mechanisms attach to the holder mounting plate and acting on the profiling plate, wherein the adjustment mechanisms are capable of displacing the profiling plate in a bi-directional manner. | 05-07-2015 |

20100186770 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING IMPROVED DEWATERING PERFORMANCE IN A PAPERMAKING MACHINE - A doctoring system is disclosed for cleaning a moving surface in a papermaking machine, and the doctoring system includes a doctor blade and fluid assist system. The doctor blade is coupled to a doctor blade holder, and the doctor blade holder is coupled to a doctor-back. The fluid assist system is for providing a fluid under positive pressure that is higher than atmospheric pressure. The fluid is directed in a direction generally opposite a direction of movement of the moving surface such that fluid of high momentum is provided to impinge on water resident within the moving surface and adjacent a leading edge of the doctor blade during movement of the moving surface. | 07-29-2010 |
20100200187 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING IMPROVED DEWATERING PERFORMANCE IN A PAPERMAKING MACHINE - A doctoring system is disclosed for a papermaking machine wherein the doctoring system includes a doctor blade and a fluid assist means. The doctor blade is coupled to a doctor blade holder, and is for cleaning a moving surface. The doctor blade holder is coupled to a doctor-back. The fluid assist means is for providing a fluid under positive pressure that is higher than atmospheric pressure and is directed in a direction generally along a direction of movement of the moving surface such that a negative pressure that is lower than atmospheric pressure develops in a negative pressure zone adjacent the moving surface and a following surface of the doctor blade during movement of the moving surface. | 08-12-2010 |
20100218909 | Systems and Methods for Cleaning and Conditioning a Moving Surface Using Cleaning Apparatus with Plate Elements for Mounting to Doctor Blade Holders - A cleaning apparatus is disclosed for processing a moving surface. The cleaning apparatus includes at least one pad that is coupled to a support shoe. The support shoe is attached to a first end of a plate element, and the plate element includes a second end that is adapted to be received by a doctor blade holder. | 09-02-2010 |
20120260452 | Systems and Methods for Cleaning and Conditioning a Moving Surface Using Cleaning Apparatus with Plate Elements for Mounting to Doctor Blade Holders - A cleaning apparatus is disclosed for processing a moving surface. The cleaning apparatus includes at least one pad that is coupled to a support shoe. The support shoe is attached to a first end of a plate element, and the plate element includes a second end that is adapted to be received by a doctor blade holder. | 10-18-2012 |
