Improve your doctoring efficiency: In-depth doctoring investigation, maintenance and alignment of doctoring systems
In most cases, the root cause of doctoring issues is, in fact, not a blade problem. The reason is often a misaligned and/or insufficiently maintained doctoring system. Therefore, our experts analyze the situation to find the root cause and give recommendations for optimizing the doctor work and roll surface conditioning in order to increase the efficiency of the doctor systems and blades as well as roll covers.
Voith doctoring solutions experts provide premium maintenance and alignment of doctoring systems for all kind of paper machines.

Part of our solutions: The perfect blade for your application
The highest level of coating quality
The quality of coated paper is determined by the uniformity of the pigment. Accordingly, the requirements for a coating blade are high.
Coating blades contribute to:
Coating blades contribute to:
- Paper coating quality
- Trouble-free operation
- Cost savings for raw material
Excellent creping blades for high tissue quality
A high-precision creping blade offers excellent and consistent tissue quality and contributes to the machine performance in general.
More specifically, it contributes to:
More specifically, it contributes to:
- Cost savings due to less machine downtime
- Increased machine performance by combining optimal Yankee metallization and creping blade
- Consistent and homogeneous tissue quality with reliable outputs

Doctoring accessories for improved maintenance and alignment of doctor systems
Blade angle meter
A correct blade angle setting is mandatory to achieve an optimum doctor blade performance in terms of roll cover cleaning and conditioning as well as blade lifetime. Voith’s digital angle meter is specially designed to measure the doctor blade angle and check the adjustment of the doctor system.
The compact design also enables the measurement of the blade angle in very tight positions and with the use of one hand only. Reading the results is easy due to the highly visible digital display with an accuracy reading rate of ± 0.10.
Blade holder cleaner
Dirty blade holders can make it difficult to install new doctor blades. Furthermore, uneven line load and blade wear profiles can occur due to dirt and blocked fingers. With our blade holder cleaning device, dirt is automatically removed from the blade holder. Up to three spray nozzles can be installed on the device, which are aimed at the blade-guiding fingers. The cleaning devices remove deposits and dirt out of the holder and fingers, so an easier installation of the doctor blade is possible. Our blade holder cleaner can be used with water or compressed air, making it suitable for almost all doctor positions.
SkyMount
Our SkyMount doctor blade storage provides five slots to store doctor blades safely and easily next to the paper machine. Of course, you can also use them in your storage room for a clearly arranged warehouse. SkyMount units can easily be moved, as they are delivered with wheels. Furthermore, due to their special design, it is also possible to stack two SkyMount units. Features:
- Strong material: blue painted steel
- Delivered with four wheels, two of which can be locked
- Stock able design
- Easy opening lock bar
- Easy access to doctor blades due to the open design
Reference Projects
We had problems with strong paper jams on the last drying cylinder of the coater, which led to increased machine downtime. With the help of a SensorBlade measurement, we were able to detect deviations in the blade line load across the machine width and initiate targeted countermeasures.
By using SkyCal, we have been able to sustainably improve surface cleanliness. Already existing impurities caused by steel blades could be eliminated with SkyCal and kept constantly clean. This enables us to meet our claim of producing the highest quality and contributing to operational excellence.
