Food Industry Nonscratching Plastic Putty Knives



Scrape, cut, and spread material in your food-processing facility with these putty knives—they’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Made from plastic, they won’t scratch metal surfaces or corrode from chemicals.
Metal- and X-ray-detectable knives have metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines if they fall into your line. They help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to keep contaminated food from leaving your facility.
Sanitary knives are antibacterial to stop germs and mold from growing on the surface.
Autoclavable knives can be sterilized with heat.

Food Industry Squeegees
Designed for use in food-processing environments, these squeegees have a channel-free blade that prevents debris from getting stuck inside. Blades resist oil, grease, and solvents. They are nonscratching and dishwasher safe. Blade edge is tapered.
TPE rubber squeegees contain metal and chemical additives to set off metal and X-ray detectors if a piece breaks off and falls into a batch of food. Since they’re detectable, they help you comply with Hazard and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. These squeegees are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
