Safety Knife to Open Bags in Food & Pharma
Safety Knife for Opening Bags with Powdered, Liquid, and Granulated Contents
In food, beverage, and pharmaceutical plants, raw materials arrive in foil pouches and multilayer paper sacks with plastic inliners. The right safety knife must be metal-detectable, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and safe to use repeatedly on kraft paper, plastic film, and foil without contaminating product or injuring operators. Martor SECUNORM 610 XDR safety knife meets these requirements with stainless, detectable components, hygienic design, and automatic blade retraction for maximum safety.
What makes the Martor SECUNORM 610 XDR ideal for opening industrial bags?
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.
