Pneumatic Wellsaw Model 464

A pneumatic wellsaw is a specialized tool used in slaughterhouses for the humane and efficient splitting of carcasses, particularly for beef and pork. Powered by compressed air, it features a reciprocating saw blade that delivers powerful, rapid cuts with minimal effort from the operator. Its pneumatic operation makes it suitable for wet and harsh environments, as there are no electrical components to pose a safety risk. The wellsaw is designed for precision and control, allowing for the clean separation of the backbone and other skeletal structures, which is crucial for hygiene and the quality of the final meat product.
