What is the AEW-Thurne 400 band saw used for?
The AEW-Thurne 400 is designed for precise cutting and portioning of meat and fish wherever portion accuracy is critical – in high-throughput meat and fish processing plants as well as larger retail outlets and catering operations. Its high blade speed enables fast, clean cutting without shredding or damaging the structure of the raw material.
Construction and features
The machine is available with several worktop configurations – fixed, part-sliding, or fully sliding – with an optional “drop-in” system allowing a part-sliding worktop to be quickly converted into a fixed one, depending on current production needs. The saw is offered in left- or right-hand versions, making it easy to match to the production line layout.
Controls positioned at eye level, together with a power indicator, ensure comfortable and safe operation, while direct drive with a flexible coupling combined with large, sealed bearings translates into low maintenance requirements. A portion-thickness gauge plate with a quick-release mechanism allows precise control over the size of the cuts produced.
Key advantages of the AEW-Thurne 400
The AEW-Thurne 400 stands out with a high blade speed of up to 32 m/s, which, combined with a 3150 mm blade length and 16 mm blade width, enables efficient, continuous portioning of large volumes of raw material. The robust, proven construction from this British manufacturer, along with low maintenance requirements (thanks to large, sealed bearings), makes the machine suitable for intensive, long-hour operation under industrial conditions.
A maximum cutting height of 410 mm and cutting width of 407 mm allow the saw to handle a wide range of meat and fish cuts, from smaller portions to larger pieces requiring precise division.
Application of the AEW-Thurne 400 band saw
The AEW-Thurne 400 is used in high-volume meat and fish processing plants, as well as larger butcher shops and catering businesses, wherever precise portioning of raw material is required. The machine works well for cutting carcasses, meat, and fish cuts into portions of a precisely defined thickness.
