5 Bagging Knife Uses You Need to Know About 

 

Ensuring that your business operates with the highest quality machinery and accessories is of vital importance if you are looking to manufacture products and packaging that will go the distance. This is especially important when regarding industries that deal with sensitive produce, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. Hygiene, reliability and precision should be at the forefront of your mind when purchasing machine knives and blades.

Luckily, here at Precision Edge, we supply a number of high quality bagging knives to help you package your produce to the best of your company’s ability, keeping you at the same level as your competitors.

 

Our range of bagging knives is extensive, and will allow you to cater to a number of requirements within your factory settings. With many of our knives having the capability of being bolted or clamped to the machine in use, you have complete versatility with your set-up.

Here are 5 functions that can be achieved here at Precision Edge:

Bag Making

Getting a precise cut is essential when it comes to bag making, as each product must be uniform if it is to be stored in bulk – else customers will avoid it. Our bagging blades ensure the sharpest cut every time.

If you’ve been using your bag making blade for a long time, we also offer a specialist service where you can have your blades professionally cleaned and sharpened in-house. Given our 30 years+ in the industrial blade and machine knife industry, we’re experts at restoring your machine blades back to their former glory – or as close as possible. 

Film & Foil Converting

Film or foil converting or finishing is the perfect way to get the finished product in its optimum state. The process uses bagging knives and perforation tools to plastic slit, sheet, laminate, trim, corner-round, square-cut and rewind.

Flow Wrapping

When you’re operating flow wrapping machinery, it’s vital that you have a sharp, precise bagging blade installed, to keep everything flowing smoothly – quite literally. The key to success when it comes to manufacturing at a mass scale is to keep things moving with as little downtime as possible!

Over Wrapping 

Whether it’s simply over wrapping or even shrink wrapping, this method is often used when referring to food produce or sensitive items – with shrink wrapping coming in handy when dealing with frozen or chilled goods. The bagging knife in question must be up to the task to get the fresh produce through the factory as quickly as possible.

Thermo-Forming

In a similar vein to shrink wrap, comes the thermo-form option. By utilizing heat, the film can be shrunk to the product in question, with the bagging knife separating the separate products on the belt.
