CARCASS BANDSAWS
At Mesi Saws & Blades, we manufacture bandsaw blades specifically designed for carcass splitting in slaughterhouses and deboning plants. Using high-quality European steels, our blades guarantee straight, fast, and stable cuts in beef and pork carcasses.
We provide standard “Splitting” configurations and “PLUS” versions for maximum durability, specifically developed to withstand high operating tensions and section high-density bones without compromising industrial productivity.
CARCASS SPLITTING SAW MODELS

3 tpi Splitting
Tooth size: 8.46 mm (3 TPI).
The most recommended choice for beef carcass splitting. Designed to maintain excellent waste evacuation and ensure a productive, stable cut in continuous production lines.

3 tpi Splitting PLUS
Tooth size: 8.46 mm (3 TPI).
Version manufactured with special high-resistance steel. Ideal for sows, heavy cattle, and high-density bones. It withstands extreme mechanical stress, offering significantly superior performance.

CTooth Splitting
Tooth size: 10 mm.
Features an intermediate tooth profile that prevents residue build-up. Highly recommended for beef splitting when a smoother, more precise, and quieter cut is required.

CTooth Splitting PLUS
Tooth size: 10 mm.
Combines the silent and clean cut of the CTooth profile with an ultra-resistant steel alloy. The ultimate solution for high-tension lines and animals with very dense bone structures.

4 tpi Splitting
Tooth size: 6.35 mm (4 TPI).
The flagship configuration for pork carcass splitting. It provides the perfect balance between blade stability in the machine, bone evacuation, and cutting performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CARCASS BANDSAWS
Which carcass splitting bandsaw is best for beef?
For beef processing, it is essential to have a blade capable of maintaining high performance against high-density and high-volume bones. The 3 TPI Splitting from Mesi Saws & Blades is the most effective standard option, as its aggressive teeth allow for fast and consistent penetration. However, for high-intensity slaughter lines, we recommend the 3 TPI Splitting PLUS version, specifically designed for its durability and resistance in demanding cuts.
The use of these carcass splitting bandsaw blades ensures a clean and efficient division of the animal, minimizing machine strain. At Mesi Saws & Blades, we manufacture these blades with premium steels that withstand continuous impact without losing alignment. By choosing the Splitting PLUS range, slaughterhouses ensure a longer tool life and a reduction in downtime for blade changes.
What is the difference between the Splitting and Splitting PLUS versions?
The main difference lies in the material composition: the Splitting PLUS version uses a special steel with high resistance to mechanical fatigue. This variant is used when slaughterhouse machinery applies extreme tension to the blade or when processing large animals such as sows or cattle.
On the other hand, the standard Splitting version is excellent for medium-volume splitting up operations, offering an optimal balance between cost and performance. Both options are part of our specialized catalog of carcass bandsaw blades, ensuring that every MESI Saws & Blades client has the exact tool based on their equipment’s power and the type of livestock to be processed, always meeting the highest European quality standards.
When is it better to use CTooth Splitting instead of 3 tpi?
The CTooth Splitting profile is the best choice when looking for smoother, more stable, and quieter machine operation throughout the shift. Its innovative design features an intermediate tooth that drastically improves the evacuation of organic and bone residue, reducing the vibrations that typically appear with more aggressive teeth like 3 TPI. This stability not only improves carcass splitting precision but also protects the mechanical components of the splitter.
Opting for the CTooth configuration from Mesi Saws & Blades allows for fluid advancement even in the most difficult cuts, preventing the blade from jamming due to bone dust accumulation. It is the ideal solution for processing rooms that prioritize operator ergonomics and finish quality. As manufacturers in La Muela (Zaragoza), we recommend this tooth geometry for processes requiring a perfect balance between productivity and industrial machinery care.
Which carcass saw is specifically recommended for pork?
For pork splitting, the 4 TPI Splitting tooth configuration offers the best technical and commercial results. This setup achieves the ideal balance between penetration speed and blade stability on the machine’s flywheels. Having slightly smaller teeth than the beef versions, the 4 TPI allows for more controlled bone evacuation, ensuring that the pork carcass division is fast, straight, and without unnecessary splintering.
At MESI Saws & Blades, our pork bandsaw blades are optimized for both high-speed automatic and manual slaughter lines. The quality of the martensitic stainless steel used in their manufacture prevents corrosion and ensures total hygiene in the cutting area. By implementing 4 TPI Splitting teeth, slaughterhouses achieve an immediate improvement in line performance, maximizing yield and reducing meat waste.
How do I choose the correct bandsaw size for my machinery?
The exact blade measurement, including its length, width, and thickness, strictly depends on the model and brand of your splitter or table saw. An incorrect choice can lead to calibration issues, excessive vibration, or even premature blade breakage. At MESI, we have a complete technical table covering the main market brands, ensuring that every meat or fish bandsaw blade fits your equipment’s pulleys with millimeter precision.
If you have doubts about the required dimensions, our team of experts in Zaragoza can advise you by simply providing the brand and model of your equipment. Providing information about the type of product you process (beef, pork carcasses, or fish pieces) allows us to recommend not only the size but also the optimal material and tooth configuration.
