Guardian bandsaw: Redefining Safety
The journey to creating the next generation band saw began in 2015. Our aim was to develop a product with reliable performance, customer-focused support, and uncompromising safety features. Our answer: Guardian Bandsaw was developed in partnership with New Zealand’s meat processing industry.
We designed and developed a unique vision detection system coupled with the manufacture of a purpose-built stainless-steel band saw. Rather than tweaking an existing commercial band saw, The Guardian Bandsaw was designed from the ground-up, enabling us to incorporate specific and innovative features from working closely with the meat processing industry.
