Handsaws for butchery and food industry

Stainless steel is the reference material and the standard required by health regulations in the food industry. Its main advantage lies in its immunity to rust and corrosion, allowing the tool to undergo deep cleaning and constant disinfection with industrial chemicals without material degradation. This is vital in high-humidity environments, such as butcher shops, deboning rooms, and fish processing plants, where direct contact with organic fluids is inevitable.

In addition to hygiene, a stainless steel frame manufactured by Metalúrgica de Sierras S.L. offers superior mechanical robustness, maintaining its shape and tension capacity over the years. Unlike painted steel frames or plastic materials, our tools do not shed particles or contaminants, ensuring a long service life and structural integrity that withstands intensive use in the manual deboning of carcasses and large pieces.

The choice between these two materials depends strictly on the priority of your process. Stainless steel blades are the ideal choice when hygiene and corrosion resistance are the absolute priority, especially in environments where the hand saw is not used continuously or remains in contact with saline environments. They are perfect for occasional cuts and for establishments looking to comply with the strictest food safety protocols without worrying about preventive maintenance against rust.

On the other hand, carbon steel blades are preferred by professional butchers for intensive use, as this material allows for higher hardening levels, resulting in a longer-lasting edge and greater penetration capacity in dense bones. Although they require more careful maintenance (immediate cleaning and drying after use to prevent oxidation), their cutting performance is exceptional. At Mesi Saws & Blades, we supply both types of blades using high-quality European steel to cover any need in your butcher shop or processing facility.

A blade with incorrect tension is one of the leading causes of accidents and poor product finishing. If the blade is loose, it will tend to vibrate excessively and deviate from a straight line, forcing the operator to perform unnecessary physical overexertion and potentially causing the blade to break. Our MESI professional frames integrate a high-precision metallic tensioning system that ensures the blade remains completely firm, allowing the teeth to work efficiently and safely during bone cutting.

The visual indicator of proper tension is a blade that remains perfectly aligned under pressure and emits a clear, metallic sound when plucked. Correct calibration not only facilitates a smoother and faster cut but also extends the tool’s life by preventing premature steel fatigue. Investing in a hand saw with a good tensioning system is essential for optimizing worker ergonomics and ensuring clean deboning in every piece.

Yes, at MESI Saws & Blades we understand that every professional has different needs depending on their workload and the type of pieces they usually process. Therefore, we adapt our offer by offering different frame and blade lengths, from compact and manageable models for small shops to larger versions for carcass deboning in industrial facilities. The handle ergonomics and frame length are designed to offer the best balance between weight and cutting capacity.

If you have doubts about which size is the most efficient for your daily operations, we recommend contacting our advisors in La Muela, Zaragoza. We will analyze your technical needs to recommend the frame and blade combination that best fits your workday, ensuring that your investment translates into comfort and durability. As manufacturers, we have the capacity to provide exact spare parts to ensure your butcher saw is always ready for the most demanding work.
