Machine knives for the food processing industry

Our additional services related to the sale and distribution of cutting tools for meat and food processing represent a strategically important approach for quality assurance and for ensuring smooth, effective and economical production processes.

They guarantee permanent productivity through low machine downtimes, extend the service life of the cutting tools and enable consistent quality in product processing.

Our experts have a recognised specialist at their side for all questions relating to material properties, working hardness and the prevention of damage. Together with Dr. Ing. Volker Storz Werkstoffberatung, we always get to the bottom of things and deliver meaningful material evaluations, chemical, metallographic and macroscopic findings as well as hardness tests according to Vickers and Rockwell.
The conformity of the processes in the production chain is the be-all and end-all when it comes to competing successfully. We analyse, evaluate and accompany you during implementation of the required measures, which form the basis for consistent quality standards as well as better economic efficiency and profitability in the industrial processing of meat and food.
Sudden malfunctions and errors can occur in many areas within the production process and must be clarified as quickly as possible. As an independent service provider, together with our partner network we produce meaningful expert reports and damage analyses on irregularities in wear and tear, material damage and tool breakage and support you in the event of complaints.
Special production requirements sometimes require very individual and precise special solutions. Together with our partner network, we develop, design and manufacture sophisticated individual pieces, prototypes and small series cutting tools. We can also manufacture cutting tools of any kind based on customer-specific requirements using samples, sketches or drawings.
More precision with the right finishing touch

Special cases when sharpening machine knives

The high demands placed on cutting tools for food processing, in particular for meat processing, sometimes require special attention. As an independent service provider, we are the right partner when it comes to precision and special requirements in the reworking, grinding and sharpening of precision cutting tools.

Fam circular knives

Fam circular knives are often ground too far by standard grinding shops, which means subsequent use is often no longer possible. The grinding costs are charged regardless of whether the Fam circular knives can be used again or not.

Our partners sort the Fam knives before grinding and sharpening, and we only sharpen and invoice those knives that can actually still be used after this process.

Foil punching with V-shaped cutting edges

Foil hole punches with V-shaped cutting edges cannot be made ready for use again using a standard grinding process.

We have used our network and developed an efficient method together with our partners, which enables grinding and subsequent reuse.

Crush cut knives

Crush cut knives cannot be sharpened via grinding. In order to achieve the desired cutting quality again, the cutting edge must have a precisely defined radius. Standard grinding shops do not usually have the machines and/or the necessary know-how for this process.

With our network of partners and manufacturers, we ensure the crush cut knives have the necessary radius at the cutting edge so that they can be used again.
