Models 44SS Stainless Steel Standard and 44SSLP Stainless Steel Low Profile Power Meat Saws

The BIRO Models 44SS Stainless Steel Standard and 44SSLP Stainless Steel Low
Profile Power Meat Saws are heavy-duty, high-volume bandsaws that are well-suited for
continuous intensive use. They have 3HP motors and 4000 (44SS) or 5000 (44SSLP)
feet per minute as standard blade speeds that provide you with plenty of power and
productivity. BIRO’s exclusive EZ-Flow meat carriages help reduce operator fatigue and
increase productivity. The watertight magnetic electrical controller helps ensure safe,
reliable operation, and when you combine this with the optional 5HP moisture resistant
motor and heavy duty stainless steel base and head, you get a saw that will stand up
to daily washdown and harsh cleaners. The 18” diameter saw blade wheels let you cut
larger product pieces than other saws. A broad range of designs, configurations, and
options, give you the flexibility to acquire a saw that fits your exact needs. Of course,
the Models 44SS and 44SSLP Saws have all of the superior design durability and
engineering features you’ve come to expect from BIRO, which means you’ll get years
of reliable use, low maintenance, and minimal overall cost of ownership.
