03 January 2023
Focus area: Hands-off processing
Program stream: Advanced manufacturing
Project number: 2021-1125

AMPC worked with an Australian red meat processor to deliver a safer bandsaw operation that reduces the seriousness and extent of band-saw inflicted injuries. 

As part of the project, the Astech PW-saw was assessed in terms of operational efficiency, efficacy, and safety in comparison to a traditional bandsaw. 

The Astech PW-saw has several advantages which can be used to enhance the capabilities and safety of the bandsaw operation.
