Duroblade® and durorod™ for paper and board applications

BTG produces Shoe Press wiper blades (ENP Wipes) to replace existing shoe press wipes. the shoe press (also known as ENP-Extended Nip Press) has a rotating blanket or sleeve. The blanket/sleeve is a polyurethane material and is lubricated by oil as it passes over the shoe press load zone.

ENP Wipes are used to doctor excess oil from the inside of the blanket. BTG ENP Wipes are specially designed doctor blades to more efficiently remove oil from the blanket.

The wiper blades are made of Lexan, a high-strength polycarbonate material with very good chemical resistance. The Lexan material is compatible with the oil environment and will not damage the inside surface of the polyurethane blanket/sleeve. The wipes will last for an extended time and are usually changed on maintenance cycles.
