For meat with bone and for frozen meat or fish, use a toothed bandsaw blade with hardened tooth tips: Freshcut or Hardpoint. With Freshcut you also choose whether you cut with or without bone, because the tooth pitch and thickness depend on it. For soft food such as bread, cheese and vegetables, a band knife is better.
Freshcut: with or without bone
Freshcut is made for frozen meat and fish, meat with bone and other hard food products. The tooth tips are hardened to 62 HRC and there is a limiter between the teeth. In the configurator you first choose the version:
| Version | Width | Tooth pitch | Thickness |
|---|
| Meat or fish with bone | 16 or 19 mm | 3 TPI | 0.55 mm |
| Meat or fish without bone | 16 or 19 mm | 3 or 4 TPI | 0.50 mm |
Hardpoint: other widths, also for carcasses
Hardpoint is made of chrome steel with hardened tooth tips, for intensive use. In meat processing it cuts frozen meat, fish and carcasses. Freshcut only comes in 16 and 19 mm wide; we make Hardpoint from 6 to 25 mm. If your machine needs a different width, Hardpoint is the blade to look at. We are happy to advise on the tooth pitch and thickness.
Band knives for soft food
Wavy and Scallop don't pull on the product and work without a sharpening unit; Scallop cuts more aggressively and is widely used for crops. Band knife Edge gives a clean cut, but your machine needs a sharpening unit for it. The difference between the band knives is explained in cutting foam with a band knife.
Speed and tension
For food, our table gives a cutting speed of 900 to 1,800 metres per minute, for Freshcut and the band knives. The tension for Freshcut, Hardpoint and the band knives is 15,000 to 20,000 PSI.
Ordering, also in large quantities
We make every bandsaw blade to size, in any length from 500 to 12,000 mm. If the length isn't on your machine, run a piece of string around the wheels and measure it against a tape measure. Cutting large quantities, for example as a slaughterhouse or fish processor? Get in touch or call +31 345 501 501 and we'll make you a custom price. All blades for food are in the Food collection, other materials in which bandsaw blade for which material.
