Meat Bandsaws

What a meat bandsaw does

A meat bandsaw uses a continuous toothed blade running over two wheels to cut cleanly through meat, bone and frozen product. Butchers use them to break down carcasses and primals and to cut chops, steaks, T-bones and osso buco; supermarkets, wholesalers and abattoirs use larger models for higher volumes.

Choosing a meat bandsaw

Cutting capacity: the height and width of the opening under the blade guide decides the largest piece you can cut.
Table size: a larger stainless steel table supports bigger cuts and makes repetitive cutting easier.
Blade speed and size: faster blade speeds give cleaner cuts through bone; blade length and width affect how often blades need changing.
Safety: look for a brake motor, low voltage switching and an emergency latch-in stop.
Hygiene: full 304 stainless steel construction with a smooth finish is easier to clean and stands up to daily wash-down.
Power: larger commercial bandsaws usually run on three phase power, while smaller models such as the Matador JG300AH and HLS1650 plug into a 10 amp outlet.

Meat bandsaw FAQs

Do meat bandsaws need three phase power?

Not all of them. Both HT Barnes models and the Matador JG400AH run on a 415V three phase supply, which must be connected by a licensed electrician. The Matador JG300AH and HLS1650 plug into a standard 10 amp outlet.
