Grocery & butchery
A smaller, safer butcher bandsaw
Specifically designed for smaller workspaces and freedom of movement, the Guardian Lite is the ideal safety bandsaw for grocery retail & butchery.
3D Vision TechnologyTM stops the blade before injuries occur
Traditional contact sensing only activates after the operator already made contact with the blade. The Guardian anticipates injuries and stops them in their tracks.
Designed for smaller environments and maximum mobility
Keeping your butchers safe without sacrificing speed.
Our smallest, most affordable bandsaw
Previously, safety bandsaws were too expensive and powerful for grocery and butchery applications. The Guardian Lite changes this.
No tethering required
Most safety bandsaws require operators to attach themselves to the saw with a cable. With Guardian's 3D Vision, your operators can move freely and start the saw without lengthy setup procedures.
Easy cleaning with IP69k washdown rating
To clean the machine, just open up the door. All electronics are protected with Moisture GuardTM and can withstand high-pressure, hot water washdowns.
