Valmet Coater Blades eC and nC for challenging coating positions
Mar 1, 2016
Valmet Coater Blades eC and nC overcome the many challenges in blade coating, including paper quality variations, short blade life, the high cost of blades and frequent blade changes. With these blades, you will do away with excessive edge wear, decreasing smoothness, worsening of coat weight profiles and defects that lead to production losses.
Valmet Coater Blade nC hard-coated coater blade with nanocarbide edge
The Valmet Coater Blade nC high precision nanocarbide-edged coater blade offers consistent coat weight and longer blade life. The exceptionally smooth finish of the nanocarbide edge improves the quality of the coated paper produced. Valmet Coater Blade nC coater blade will consistently maintain superior quality in the paper delivered to your customer. Valmet Coater Blade nC improves smoothness.
Benefits of Valmet Coater Blade nC
Up to 25% longer blade life compared to traditional carbide materials
The Valmet Coater Blade nC blade is based on a nanoscale powder sprayed with the newest technology available. A superior microstructure, improved wear resistance, and low tendency for microscale cracking give it a remarkably long lifetime.
Denser structure of Valmet Coater Blade nC results in longer lifetime and fewer scratches.
This nanocarbide blade also provides excellent coating application, even when worn. Thanks to its long lifetime, it delivers long production runs between blade changes, saves downtime, and trims blade inventories. Valmet Coater Blade nC is available for bent and stiff blade applications in all geometries.
The Valmet Coater Blade eC carbide-edged coater blade is a cost efficient solution for good wear resistance and long blade lifetime. The smooth finish of the carbide edge ensures a uniform coating layer. Valmet Coater Blade eC is most suitable for pre-coating and wear prone positions.
Benefits of Valmet Coater Blade eC
Excellent edge wear resistance
Good paper smoothness
Long lifetime
Savings in paper & board production costs
Top end-quality with lower costs
With Valmet Coater Blade eC the fundamentals of coater blades are achieved: the blade leaves a uniform coating color layer on the paper or board surface in the desired coat weight. Valmet Coater Blade eC features an optimized carbide microstructure for pre- and middle-coating positions, as seen in the accompanying graphic.
The right choice of the blade has a major effect on coating efficiency as well as end-product quality. Valmet Coater Blade eC ensures efficient coating and long lifetime with less cost.
Valmet Coater Blade eC's manufacturing and raw material selection improve the blade's wear resistance in all aspects of coating, providing superior blade life.
