Manufacturing technology of knives and forks

Pulished on Jul. 15, 2022

In our country, it is not uncommon to use chopsticks when eating. For some western countries, the commonly used tableware is the knife and fork. In the western restaurant in our country, the knife and fork are also used. If you eat western food with a pair of chopsticks, you will be laughed at. Knives and forks in Western food were invented after the 13th century. In fact, before that, Westerners used to eat directly with their hands.

Guangzhou Garbo International Trade Co., Ltd. is very experienced in the production and export of knife and fork industry. So, what is the production process of knife and fork, let us explain to you:

First of all, taking the fork as an example, the raw material for the production of the fork is a stainless steel plate of about 6 mm. Stainless steel is chosen because stainless steel cutlery is very durable and does not tarnish like silver. The workers first cut the large steel plate material into small pieces with a shearing machine, which is convenient for transportation and subsequent use. Then workers transport these cut small steel plates to the next process - stamping blanks. In this process, there will be a mold made in advance, and it is equipped with a positioning tool. The worker puts the steel plate in the predetermined position, presses the upper and lower molds of the stamping machine, and a fork blank comes out. After a while, a fork blank will come out. The box blank is ready. Next, the box of blanks is sent to the next process. In this process, the front end of the fork is thinned and widened by rolling. The worker rolls each blank three times between the rollers, and the front end is preliminarily formed.


The next process is to make the fork handle into the desired shape, and bend the fork handle slightly, which is not only convenient to use but also more beautiful. The next step is to cut off the excess burrs. After this process, the shape of the fork is basically formed. Next, these semi-finished products will be transported to the next process. The main content of this process is to make the fork head. The fork head is also stamped out with a mold. It can be seen that as long as the mold and tooling are made, the efficiency is still very high. . The fork has been basically formed, the next step is to deburr and preliminary polishing, only after polishing, the fork can be used.

In order to make the fork more ergonomic, this is to shape the fork again, this step is also carried out on the prepared mold, just press lightly and the desired shape comes out. In order to make the fork look better, the surface of the fork will be polished again. This time the fork is polished in an all-round way. It can be seen that it is not only polished once, but has probably gone through the processes of rough polishing, semi-fine polishing, and fine polishing. , After many times of grinding and polishing the fork, the quality seems to have improved a lot.

In order to make the surface of the fork brighter, the fork needs to be surface-treated in the last step, so that the surface-treated fork appears to be of higher quality. The last step is to package and label the fork. Looking at the package, it looks very elegant. Compared with such a set of tableware, it costs hundreds of dollars. Here, we can see that the most important process for making the difference is stamping and forming through the mold. It is unexpected that a small fork has so many processes, and it seems that it should be worth the money.
