QUALITY

Pinders have been manufacturing blades for 200 years and we understand that quality is paramount.

Poor quality blades can be the source of printing and coating problems and roller/cylinder damage; this may also apply to other blade applications.

We only use the finest quality raw material, with full certification and traceability.

Our rigid quality procedures from production through to packing ensure a premium finished product.

Our production controls ensure that blades:

• Have the optimum edge finish, generally a smooth pre-honed fine edge
• Have good flatness properties to sit correctly when clamped
• Have minimal edge camber or deviation from edge straightness. This blade characteristic is extremely important in doctoring as good edge straightness properties will enable the operator to attain full consistent contact with the minimum of pressure from the outset
• Meet specified or standard dimensional tolerances
• Are free from burr and roughness
• Are carefully packed, whether coiled in a dispenser box or wrapped in VCI (corrosion inhibiting) paper
