Grinding operations in food processing require wear- and corrosion-resistant BÖHLER steels with high hardness and hygiene performance. Key quality features include ultra-clean materials, controlled heat treatment, full traceability, and verified surface quality for safe processing.
Grinding operations in food and beverage processing require materials capable of maintaining consistent performance under high wear, mechanical stress, and strict hygienic conditions. Components such as grinder plates, knives, and mills are exposed to abrasion from processed materials, cyclic loading, and frequent cleaning with aggressive agents. Material requirements therefore focus on high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and toughness to prevent chipping or premature failure. In addition, excellent surface quality and cleanability are essential to ensure food safety and avoid contamination.
BÖHLER high-performance steels and alloys are specifically engineered for these demanding applications. Advanced martensitic stainless steels and wear-resistant tool steels offer an optimized balance of hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Produced using advanced melting technologies, BÖHLER materials ensure high purity and homogeneous microstructures, enabling extended service life and reliable operation. Key quality features include precise control of chemical composition, certified traceability, and validated heat treatment processes to achieve consistent hardness and wear properties. Surface integrity and hygienic performance are verified through strict inspection and testing. BÖHLER materials support efficient, safe, and durable grinding operations in modern food processing environments.
BÖHLER M340 ISOPLAST corresponds to a corrosion-resistant, martensitic chromium steel with improved wear resistance. This is ideal for the application area of glass fiber reinforced plastics. In addition, the BÖHLER M340 ISOPLAST is approved for food and beverage contact.

Citește mai multBÖHLER N690 is a corrosion-resistant, martensitic chromium steel with a high carbon content and the addition of cobalt, molybdenum and vanadium. BÖHLER N690 is also approved for food and beverage contact.
Citește mai multBÖHLER W302 ISODISC is a 5% chromium steel and corresponds to material number 1.2344 (X40CrMoV5-1). This common tool steel has good hot toughness as well as a high hot hardness and a high resistance against heat-checkings. The combination of these properties makes it a standard choice in extrusion, forging and low-pressure die casting. This material is also available as W302 ISOBLOC which is a remelted grade with improved cleanliness, homogeneity and toughness.
