Occupational Safety Weeks at Joh. Clouth
As a first topic of our occupational safety weeks we introduced you to the CLOUTH SAFETY GLOVE® – our safety glove with a sewn-in chain inlay and a very high wearing comfort.
Now we are looking into the safe removal of doctor blades from the doctor holders.
That way, especially for the blade change, we have designed miscellaneous extraction tools for different demands by which the used blades can be pulled out easily and safely. When applied in the correct way, slipping off will be avoided and the risk of accidents reduced.
Our accessories are in use in multiple installations and applications and undergo an ongoing optimisation. Thus, replacement activities and maintenance work can be carried out not only in a safer way but more efficiently as well.
The following doctor blade extraction tools are part of our product range:
CLOUTH DOCTOR-PULL® - with 2 specially hardened gripper wheels
CLOUTH POWER-PULL® - with 4 specially hardened gripper wheels
CLOUTH SUPER-PULL® - our recommendation for metal and synthetic blades up to a thickness of 3 mm
CLOUTH DOCTOR-PULL HS-1® - especially for pulling out blades from doctor holders with narrow access
Any of our extraction tools has an ergonomic design. The technical details please find here.
Here you see our CLOUTH DOCTOR-PULL HS-1® in use.
