Safety Knife to Open Bags in Food & Pharma
Safety Knife for Opening Bags with Powdered, Liquid, and Granulated Contents
In food, beverage, and pharmaceutical production, many raw materials such as powders, liquids, and granulates are delivered in bags, foil pouches, or multilayer paper sacks with plastic inliners. Opening these packages safely and efficiently is crucial to maintaining hygiene standards, minimizing waste, and protecting operators from injury.
A safety knife designed for this task must meet strict requirements: it should be metal detectable, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and capable of cutting through various packaging types—from foil and plastic to thick kraft paper. It must also be safe for repeated use in demanding environments where powder residues or sticky contents could otherwise affect the tool’s performance.
Martor SECUNORM 610 XDR – The Ideal Knife for Industrial Bag Opening
Martor SECUNORM 610 XDR (No. 610001) is purpose-built for the hygienic and safe opening of bags containing powdered, liquid, or viscous materials.
With a cutting depth of 32 mm and automatic blade retraction, it offers both precision and safety. The stainless, metal-detectable components make it suitable for use in regulated environments such as food processing and pharmaceutical production.
Thanks to its innovative design, dust and residues do not accumulate, and moving parts remain fully functional even under heavy use. The knife can be cleaned with water, compressed air, or even acetone without damaging the mechanism or causing corrosion. This ensures continued functionality in environments where cleanliness and reliability are essential.
Whether you’re opening bags of flour, sugar, protein powder, food additives, dairy ingredients, pharmaceutical excipients, syrups, flavoring compounds, or viscous gels, the SECUNORM 610 XDR handles the job with ease. It’s also ergonomically designed for comfort during extended use, and the squeeze-grip handle ensures secure blade control.
With automatic blade retraction, the knife enhances workplace safety by minimizing the risk of accidental cuts. As soon as the user releases the lever, the blade retracts fully into the handle.
You can purchase from Sollex both the Secunorm 610 XDR and the matching Martor large special purpose blades 160060, trapezoid blade 60099, 60095 and hook blade 98.
