BKS: industrial knives and services for the food industry
Food industry, the essential
Food is a vast sector that includes all companies that cut food, how varied it may be: potatoes, vegetables, lasagna, meat, olives, chips, wheat, pastries, etc. Slicing, guillotine cutting, scrapers and crosscutting are all cutting methods used in this sector.
This market was one of the few spared by the health crisis. Indeed, production remained stable for most companies, and even increased for distributors.
Two families of industrial knives
The two main uses of knives in this market are cutting the food or product itself and cutting the packaging.
The most used knives and blades for food processing are choppers, punches, thread cutters, tray blades, serrated knives, and circular saws. There are also scraper blades, which are large straight blades used to scrape material and food.
For food processing in particular, customers need good and reliable knives. Indeed, the entire production process in this sector must be flawless as it is subject to very strict standards. The players are therefore particularly keen to find quality suppliers to avoid any problems that could quickly have serious consequences.
What BKS does for the food industry
This market is an important sector for BKS, which counts several major market players among its customers.
In order to meet the needs of your company, we have set up various actions:
- Customized production and stocking of cutting punches/threads.
- In-house and customized production of scraper blades.
- Knife sharpening and reconditioning with collection and delivery service.
As these blades are used in large quantities, we produce the estimated annual quantity of the customer’s consumption. The knives are then placed in “reserved” stock in our warehouse at BKS, allowing us to be as reactive as possible. If the customer requires a partial delivery, we can then deliver the parts within 1-2 working days.
We have many years of experience in supplying our customers with large scraper blades. There is a wide variety of fastening systems, lengths, steels, etc. Depending on the customer’s needs, our team can advise on the most suitable solution. The quality of the steel used in these blades is important because scrapers are subject to rapid wear.
The food industry is a sector where knife sharpening is omnipresent. In addition, our delivery service takes care of the weekly collection from your company. We push the customers to have at least one spare pair of knives for their machines. BKS invested in new machines to give a boost to the service level. This has considerably increased our grinding capacity and consequently the speed of the knife grinding.
