Bowl cutter knives are specialized cutting blades used in commercial for chopping, emulsifying, and blending large quantities of food ingredients efficiently and consistently. Factors that determine a suitable type material for the knives include:

• Food Safety and Hygiene
  The material to be food-grade and compliant with relevant regulations for food contact surfaces.  Stainless steel is highly recommended due to its corrosion resistance, ease of cleaning and ability to withstand frequent sanitisation.

• Wear resistance
  To withstand the continuous cutting

• Strength and toughness
  As the blades are expected to handle the mechanical stresses and impact loads during the cutting process.  The knives should not chip, crack or break easily

• Edge retention
  The blades should be able to maintain a sharp cutting edge for an extended period.  This helps to ensure consistent cutting performance and reduces the need for frequent sharpening or replacement.

• Corrosion resistance
  The blades are exposed to water, moisture and acidic components from various food items

• Temperature Resistance
  The material should be capable of withstanding the temperatures generated during the cutting process, especially if the machinery allows for heating or cooking.
