Bandsaw Bearing Repair Ellenbrook | PEMS Perth

A bandsaw breakdown at a busy butcher shop is never a small problem. At Cutting Edge Butchers, 206 The Promenade Ellenbrook, the workhorse bandsaw had developed a serious noise issue that threatened to take core meat cutting operations offline during a critical trading period.

The Fault

Technician Andrew attended the Ellenbrook site and carried out a thorough inspection of the bandsaw. The investigation revealed widespread wear and tear across multiple components. Both the top and bottom bearings had deteriorated significantly, producing excessive noise during operation. Door hinges were damaged, and threaded fixings had stripped and worn beyond normal use, pointing to a machine that had been working hard without recent servicing attention.

The Repair

Andrew made interim repairs to the worn threads on the initial visit to stabilise the machine and keep it running. He then sourced the correct bearings and seals directly from Statewide Bearings, ensuring quality matched components were used throughout. The full bearing replacement, including new seals, grease, and fixings, was completed at a scheduled follow-up visit, with specialist tooling used for the bearing removal and installation process.

The Outcome

With the new bearings, seals, and hardware fitted correctly, the bandsaw returned to quiet, reliable operation. Cutting Edge Butchers regained full confidence in their equipment and avoided an unplanned shutdown during trading hours.
