What is your favorite Doctor Blade from Swedcut®?
My favorite doctor blade from Swedcut® is the MicroKote G. It’s a blade that consistently meets the high standards required in the industry.
Tell us about a memory when a Swedcut® blade made a difference for a customer.
One standout memory involves the H9 40X0,25 2 degrees bevel associated wipping mirror finish calender roll. (Note: The H9 is now known as the H7.) Customer was using Uddeholm blades at about 50 Euros per strip of 820mm without clean effect. H9, now H7- wiped the cylinder many thousand times making the cylinder surface like new every time. They couldn’t believe their eyes. I have countless stories about MicroKote G and H7, but I consider this particular case as a medal decoration on my chest.
What is the true value of Swedcut® according to you?
The true value of Swedcut® lies in its dedicated team, constantly advancing the development of doctor blades. Their commitment ensures that every blade produced meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
