Sharp, individual, coated - whatever you need, our knives are of the highest quality from Solingen.

Knives for the bakery industry, packaging industry, craft and trade - with patented special serration for almost all applications in these areas - these are knives from FBS Balke International GmbH&Co.KG.

The cutting of a food/baking product is the last step before the packaging line in a food processing plant and is therefore of crucial importance, as the value-added process is almost completed here and an optimum result is required at high throughput rates. Cuts or cutting processes that are not carried out precisely mean that the products cannot be sold and are at best sold as B-goods.

The incision and the intersection must be precise and accurate and the cutting thickness must be consistent over the entire cut surface.

Unscheduled line downtime, to change knives, is also a costly aspect of production, as hundreds of products arrive at the packing station every minute.

At sealing stations, too, the sealing and cutting of film is adapted to the cycle of the supply conveyor belt - and here, too, every minute counts in which the packaging line is not working properly.

We at FBS Balke International GmbH&Co.KG have been involved in the manufacture and improvement of knives for use on cutting and sealing equipment since 1954.

Whether non-stick coated, made of stainless steel or with specific alloys, our products consist of a multitude of different knife shapes and tooth profiles and have an optimal solution for every application. Due to the in-house production, we can also realise special designs within a short time.

In the food processing industry - with a focus on the baking industry - we have the appropriate knife for the most diverse machine cutting requirements. Patented special toothing offers the solution for almost every cutting problem. High-quality alloys ensure an extremely long service life and the non-stick coating of the knives also perfects their utility value. The fluoropolymer coating enables precise, stick-free cutting at all times - whereby our references have shown that, depending on the knife type and application, more than 150 operating hours are demonstrably possible.

Our range includes standard circular knives,circular Turbo-knives, fly cutters, reciprocating knives and spiral knives – wether with or without a non-stick coated surface.  Our range is constantly being improved and adapted to the latest technical requirements.

In order to be able to guarantee you a safe production process, we have set up a special service for you. Your knife will be sharpened and coated with the least possible loss of material within the shortest possible time and is thus immediately ready for use again in your business.
