Knife Sterilizers
Knife sterilizers
Knives are used every day in many different companies – e.g. food, fishing, agriculture and breeding, and hotel, catering and tourism. These tools mainly come into contact with food, so you need to make sure they are always perfectly clean. How to do it? It’s easy! Put them in knife sterilizers!
We offer devices that will quickly and effectively remove virtually all microorganisms from utensils used every day in the kitchen. As a result, they will be almost sterile and ready for use when you need them. Using UV knife sterilizers also effectively reduces the risk of pathogens spreading to food.
Knife sterilizers – available models
Knife sterilizers are a basic element of kitchen equipment, shops, food plants, butcher shops, smokehouses and slaughterhouses. Without them, cleaning tools from pathogens would take a lot of time and require additional work. That is why we have prepared a large selection of models that use hot water to disinfect kitchen accessories, i.e. water sterilizers for knives. The devices offered by Brokelmann differ in, among other things, capacity and functions.
Small water knife sterilizers
Small water sterilizers are ideal for disinfecting up to 10 knives. They have the shape of a box and can be mounted on the wall. Thanks to this, they do not take up too much space in the kitchen. You can easily install them, for example, above the sink in the kitchen, so that you can quickly place the tools inside and clean them.
Our sterilizers for 10 knives are available in several different sizes – thanks to this, you can adjust the devices to the space you have.
In addition, the models offered may have a built-in thermometer and/or thermal protection of the heater. The choice of parameters depends on your needs and hygiene requirements, which you should comply with in your plant.
Central water sterilizers for knives
Central sterilizers are extensive devices that can disinfect 40 knives at the same time. They are ideal for kitchens where a large team works and in large food production plants.
The models offered clean tools at a temperature of 82-85°C. The water temperature is constantly measured by a thermometer installed inside the sterilizer. The whole thing is insulated, which allows to maintain a constant water temperature in it.
In order to be able to place knives in central sterilizers, special metal inserts are necessary. They hold 4 tools. A maximum of 10 knife baskets can be inserted into the device.
Saw and axe sterilizers
In slaughterhouses and butcher shops, saws and axes are often used instead of knives. They are needed for dividing bones and frozen meat. However, like other tools, they must be perfectly clean before use. Thanks to this, there is no risk of microorganisms spreading throughout the meat and leading to its contamination.
To disinfect them, reach for a vertical saw and axe sterilizer. It is mounted to the wall, so it does not take up free space in the room. The device heats the water to 82-85°C and maintains the appropriate temperature throughout the cleaning.
UV knife sterilizer and water sterilizer – what is the difference?
UV knife sterilizers are devices that eliminate bacteria with the help of emitted ultraviolet rays. Then the disinfection of tools takes place “dry”, without the use of water. Therefore, the accessories are not exposed to the influence of moisture. UV knife sterilizers are especially useful in places where the device cannot be connected to the water supply.
The radiation they emit is harmless to human health, provided that the door is closed. Therefore, you should be careful not to start the UV knife sterilizer before inserting all accessories and closing it. You should also not open the device before cleaning is complete. Direct exposure to UV rays can have a negative effect on the human body.
On the other hand, water knife sterilizers use hot water, which eliminates pathogens. Thanks to this, you can enjoy 100% disinfected tools. The liquid at high temperature reaches all corners. So you can be sure that the entire knife has been thoroughly cleaned.
In water knife sterilizers:
- you can safely clean tools made entirely of stainless steel. The metal is resistant to long-term exposure to water and high temperatures, so there is no risk of, for example, the knife deforming. In addition, the steel blade will not start to rust, despite long-term immersion in water,
- do not place tools with wooden elements. There is a risk that the aforementioned parts will be destroyed under the long-term influence of high temperatures. In addition, wood absorbs moisture, so it becomes an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria and other pathogens.
Before inserting knives with plastic handles into sterilizers, make sure that the high temperature will not adversely affect the plastic part. It is best to seek advice on cleaning this type of tool from their manufacturers.
Not sure which knife sterilizer to choose? Price is also an important aspect to consider when buying a device. It is worth choosing a model that will not overburden the company’s budget.

Knife sterilizers – what makes them stand out?
We offer water knife sterilizers made entirely of stainless steel. This material is characterized by:
- high resistance to water, chemicals or acids from fruit, vegetables and meat – the metal does not rust despite exposure to the above-mentioned liquids,
- high tolerance to high temperatures – stainless steel does not deform, despite long exposure to hot water. Thanks to this, sterilizers look perfect regardless of the intensity of use,
- easy cleaning – to wash the device from the outside, you can use hot steam, a damp cloth or special agents designed for cleaning stainless steel.
As a result, sterilizers are durable and can serve you for many years.
