The humble doctor blade chamber end seal is often dismissed as a bit-part player in the world of printing. The reality is somewhat different. The end seal is actually a vital component when it comes to ensuring the correct performance of today’s high-spec doctor blade chambers. A correct end seal plays a critical role in ensuring consistent ink doctoring, a leak-free chamber, and a clean, profitable printing press.
SureFlex® doctor blade chamber end seals are produced from the highest quality materials to ensure optimum ink sealing. But that’s only half the story. Our foam end seals are always water-jet cut, thus guaranteeing the correct geometric shape and ensuring a perfect seal each and every time.
In addition to our standard foam end seals, we offer enhancements such as low friction coatings and Teflon inserts to extend the lifetime, plus different grades of lubricated felt for tougher applications. We also produce seals from a range of rubber compounds including EPDM and Viton.
SureFlex® chamber end seals are available for virtually every printing press and doctor blade chamber on the market. If you require an end seal for a new or bespoke press, then we can create one from scratch.
In a nutshell, where end seals are concerned, we’ve got it covered. Take a look at some of the seals shown below. If you don’t see the seal you require, drop us a line with your details and the make and model of your press and we’ll do the rest.
