The adapter was designed for quick and easy removal of doctor blade holders for inspection and cleaning. The patented designed rotating fixture replaces bolts and is inserted into a T-Slide Rail that is rigidly attached to the doctor back. The benefits derived from this concept are reduced downtime for removal, cleaning and inspection which lower maintenance costs. Realignment of the doctor after installation is no longer required.
