1. MonoBlade

MonoBlade is a single polyurethane blade construction. The entire blade is made with one selected hardness.

Available hardness

• 55° Shore
• 65° Shore
• 75° Shore
• 85° Shore

Available dimensions

Height: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 / 50 mm
Thickness: 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 mm
Standard length: 3.750 m

What does the hardness mean?

The Shore hardness indicates how hard or flexible the polyurethane material is.

As a general material principle:

• 55° Shore → softer and more flexible
• 65° Shore → medium-soft / balanced
• 75° Shore → harder and more rigid
• 85° Shore → hard and more rigid

So, a lower Shore value generally provides more flexibility, while a higher Shore value provides greater resistance to deformation.

Important: The PDF gives the available hardness grades but does not specify particular printing applications for each hardness, so application-specific recommendations should be confirmed according to the printing process and ink system.

2. TripleBlade

The TripleBlade is a multi-layer polyurethane blade construction with three hardness zones.

The PDF specifies:

TripleBlade 65° / 90° / 65°

The outer blade sections are 65° Shore, with a harder 90° Shore central section.

TripleBlade 75° / 90° / 75°

The outer sections are 75° Shore, with a 90° Shore central section.

TripleBlade 85° / 90° / 85°

The outer sections are 85° Shore, with a 90° Shore central section.

This gives the TripleBlade a soft–hard–soft / medium–hard–medium / hard–hard–hard-type layered construction, depending on the selected combination.

Why use three hardness levels?

The basic concept is to combine different material characteristics within one blade:

Outer layers
→ provide the working/flexible characteristics.

Central 90° Shore layer
→ provides a harder structural support.

This type of construction can offer a different balance between flexibility, rigidity and dimensional stability compared with a conventional single-hardness MonoBlade.

The exact performance advantage for a particular printing machine/process is not specified in the supplied PDF, so it would be better not to claim a specific application without manufacturer confirmation.
