Durham-Duplex were delighted  to show their range of processing and packaging knives in the heart of the US Meat and Poultry industry.

Export Director Carl Foster said ” Its took a bit of getting there but the hurdles were worthwhile when we got face to face with our customers old and new in this industry specific event.  The footfall at the show might have been better but as a Sheffield Manufacturer we are confident in our quality and ability to supply either in volume direct from UK or from stock held at our US facility in Aurora IL. ”

Proper maintenance and storage of Durham-Duplex blades is essential to ensure safety and maximise blade lifespan. Here are a few key tips:

Clean after use: Remove any debris, product residue, or moisture after each use. For industrial settings, follow the appropriate cleaning protocol depending on the material being cut (especially in food or medical industries).

Dry thoroughly: Ensure the blades are completely dry before storage to prevent corrosion or rusting—especially important for carbon steel blades.

Store safely: Use the original packaging or a designated dry, secure container. For safety knives, always retract the blade after use.

Regular inspection: Periodically check for signs of wear, dullness, or damage. Replace blades at the first signs of reduced performance to maintain precision and avoid machine stress or product damage.

Durham-Duplex also offers blade handling tools and dispensers to improve safe usage in industrial environments.
