KADANT BladeShark™ Doctor Blade Extractor

The BladeShark doctor blade extractor is intended for safe and easy removal of the doctor blade. The tool was designed so as the pull force increases the grip force increases, it is robust and modular, and is rugged enough for mill usage. Features Exceptionally rugged design Minimal moving parts that can break down Hardened "teeth" on shark jaw for aggressive bite on blade material Integrated impact hammer for additional force Can accommodate blade thickness range up to 0.250" (6.35 mm) thick Benefits Operator safety Remarkably effective for stubborn doctor blades Significantly reduces blade change time Robust design can withstand abuse How does it work? Once the BladeShark doctor blade extractor bites down on the doctor blade material with its hardened teeth, the adjustable handle can be turned to further increase the bite and ensure that it will not let go. The impact hammer provides extra force when required, especially for blades that are extremely stuck. The operators can accomplish all of this safely from outside of the machine while keeping hands away from the sharp blade.
