- Partner Brand Spotlight: Scott Technology and Their Life-Saving BladeStop Bandsaws
When you work around meat processing equipment every day, you learn pretty quickly that safety isn’t just a nice idea — it’s everything. That’s one of the many reasons we at Jarvis Canada are proud to partner with Scott Technology , the innovators behind one of the most impressive safety solutions in our industry: BladeStop . If you haven’t heard of it yet, buckle up! This is a safety breakthrough worth talking about. Discover the BladeStop advantage — engineering precision and safety working together to protect operators in real time. Why Bandsaw Safety Matters More Than Ever Let’s be honest — bandsaws are incredible tools, but they’re also among the most dangerous pieces of equipment on a processing floor. They slice through dense muscle and bone with ease. Unfortunately, they can do the same to fingers, hands, and arms when something goes wrong. In 2020 alone, almost 200,000 U.S. workers suffered injuries from contact with equipment. A huge portion of those were cuts, lacerations, or amputations. This isn’t trivia; it’s the reality your operators face every day. That’s why BladeStop exists — to stop accidents before they become tragedies. Meet BladeStop: Safety in Just a Few Milliseconds BladeStop is one of those innovations that makes you stop and say, “Wait, why didn’t this exist sooner?” It’s the fastest stopping bandsaw on the market , bringing the blade to a dead halt in under 10 milliseconds . For context, that’s faster than the blink of an eye. It’s so fast that what could have been an amputation turns into a minor cut… or nothing at all. How does it do that? With two powerful safety systems: 1. Touch Sensing If a hand or arm touches the blade, the system reacts instantly. Power gets cut. The brake slams on. The blade stops almost immediately. 2. GloveCheck Visual Sensing This one is really cool. A smart camera watches for a gloved hand moving too fast toward the blade — something that happens when an operator slips. BladeStop stops the saw before contact is made. Two layers of protection. One mission: keep operators safe. And here’s the part everyone loves — an activation doesn’t destroy the blade. No blade change. No wrecked parts. Just a reset and back to work. Watch how BladeStop reacts in milliseconds, turning dangerous moments into safe outcomes on the processing floor. BladeStop T300 vs. T400: Which One Fits Your Operation? Every business is different, so Scott designed two models that deliver the same top-tier safety in different ways. BladeStop T300 — Big Safety in a Compact Package If you run a butcher shop, specialty processor, or grocery meat department, the T300 is made for you. It’s the newest BladeStop model and was engineered specifically for smaller operations. Here’s why people love it: Fits tight workspaces without sacrificing power Runs on single-phase or three-phase power Optional built-in air compressor Dual sensing safety comes standard Choose fixed or sliding tables Add castor wheels for easy mobility It’s simple, flexible, and incredibly safe. A true “plug-and-play” safety saw for smaller shops that want big-league protection. T400 BladeStop: industrial performance with life-saving protection. BladeStop T400 — The Heavy-Duty Industrial Workhorse Now let’s talk about the beast. The T400 is the go-to choice for large meat processing plants across the world — more than 1,500 units in over 30 countries. It’s built for high volume, heavy-duty, all-day cutting. Here’s what sets it apart: 4 HP motor with massive cutting power 17-inch wheels for stability and large product UL and CE certified , plus functional safety certification Optional laser guide , last slice device , and pneumatic blade guard Adjustable fences for consistent cuts Extra emergency features like a knee-stop bar Compatible with BladeStop Connect , the IoT system that tracks safety events, usage, and training needs The T400 is the machine industrial processors rely on when safety and productivity both matter — because it enhances both. When Safety Saves Money, Everyone Wins Let’s talk business for a second. A single hand injury can cost over $75,000 in medical bills and downtime. And that doesn’t include the emotional stress or the hit to team morale. With BladeStop on your floor, those worst-case scenarios drop dramatically. Other benefits? Less downtime Fewer product losses after accidents Lower compensation claims Better insurance outcomes Improved training through BladeStop Connect It’s not just good for people. It’s good for business. Why Jarvis Canada Loves Working With Scott Technology When we choose a brand partner, we choose one whose values match ours. Scott Technology is absolutely one of those partners. They innovate relentlessly. They engineer for real working environments. And most importantly, they care deeply about operator safety. Our partnership is built on a shared mission: getting workers home safe every single day. Final Thoughts: Safety That Happens in a Heartbeat BladeStop truly is a game changer. It combines smart sensors, mechanical brilliance, and real-world practicality into a bandsaw that can literally save limbs — and lives. From small butcher shops to massive processing plants, BladeStop has proven that safety doesn’t have to slow you down. In fact, it can make your whole operation stronger. If a machine can stop itself in a heartbeat, imagine what that does for peace of mind. And imagine what it means for your team at the end of the day… when everyone gets to go home with all ten fingers. Ready to learn more? We’d love to chat!

- Split Smarter: Choosing the Right Saw for Your Splitting Needs
No two meat plants are exactly alike — and that’s why Jarvis builds splitting equipment for every operation, every need, and every budget . Whether you’re processing a handful of hogs a day or hundreds of beef carcasses an hour, we’ve got a saw designed to match your pace, power source, and price point. Our lineup covers the full spectrum. Need high-horsepower muscle for big beef? The Buster 5 or Buster 4 electric bandsaws deliver raw power and precision for large carcasses. Running a high-speed pork line? The Buster 6 or SEC-400 circular saw will keep up with the fastest split stations in the industry. Managing a regional abattoir or mixed-species plant? You’ll love the flexibility of our H080 bandsaw or the lightweight Wellsaw series , available in both electric and pneumatic versions. That’s the beauty of Jarvis — you don’t have to overbuy or compromise. You can choose the right tool for your throughput and budget without giving up quality. Every saw we make, from our smallest Wellsaw to our largest Buster, carries the same Jarvis DNA: rugged construction, precise cutting, and long-term reliability. When you upgrade to Jarvis, you’re not just getting a saw — you’re getting a partner in performance. We help you split smarter, work faster, and get more from every carcass. A meat plant operator uses a Jarvis electric bandsaw to split a beef carcass cleanly down the backbone Matching the Right Saw to Your Operation Not sure where to start? Here’s a quick guide: Large Beef Processors: Go with the Buster 5. Its raw power, long throat, and steady precision make it perfect for steers, bulls, and oxen. If you’re handling high volumes, it’s the heavy-duty choice that won’t slow down. Mid-Sized Beef or Mixed Operations: The Buster 4 gives you serious cutting power in a slightly smaller frame. It’s ideal for plants processing both beef and hogs or for those who need a reliable all-around splitter that just keeps going. High-Speed and Industrial Pork Lines: Choose the Buster 6 for fast, continuous splitting — up to 400 hogs per hour. Need extra clearance for large sows or boars? Step up to the Buster 6ST, with its stretched throat and same dependable 3 hp motor. For the highest-throughput plants running at full capacity, the SEC-400 circular saw is built to keep pace — processing up to 750 hogs per hour with clean, controlled cuts and minimal bone dust. Regional Abattoirs or Mixed-Species Plants: The H080 electric bandsaw is the perfect balance of versatility and economy. It can handle both beef and pork at moderate volumes and runs on either single- or three-phase power, making it great for smaller facilities. Custom Butchers or Low-Volume Operations: Look to the Wellsaw 404 or Wellsaw 444. These handheld reciprocating saws offer control, precision, and easy handling for a fraction of the price of a bandsaw. If you prefer air power, the pneumatic 424 or 464 versions deliver the same performance without electricity — perfect for wet-floor environments. Every plant is different — and Jarvis has the right solution for every size, species, and workflow. Heavy-Duty Electric Bandsaws – The Buster Series Buster 5 (Model Buster V) Meet the powerhouse of beef processing! The Jarvis Buster 5 is made for large beef operations that handle big animals like steers, bulls, and oxen. With a 5-horsepower motor and nearly 20 inches of cutting throat, it slices through dense backbones with ease. You can split up to 180 beef sides per hour — all while maintaining perfect alignment cut after cut. Its oil-bath gear drive keeps things running smooth, and the ultra-thin guide rail maximizes yield by minimizing meat loss. If you’re running a high-capacity beef plant , this is your go-to splitter. Pure muscle, pure reliability. Buster 6 (Model Buster VI) Built for high-volume pork plants , the Buster 6 delivers speed and comfort all day long. Weighing just 63 kilograms, it’s light enough for operators to maneuver easily but powerful enough to split up to 400 hogs per hour . Its built-in hot-water sanitizing system keeps the blade clean during operation — a huge plus for hygiene. The adjustable front wheel keeps the blade tracking straight, extending blade life and keeping maintenance low. If you’re running a modern pork line , the Buster 6 will keep pace with even the fastest throughput. Buster 6ST (Stretched Model) Need to split large sows, boars, or oversized hogs? The Buster 6ST gives you the same 3 hp motor as the Buster 6, but with a longer 23.1-inch cutting throat . That extra clearance makes all the difference when you’re processing heavier carcasses. It’s ideal for plants handling mixed hog sizes or occasional beef — offering flexibility without sacrificing performance. Think of it as the best of both worlds: same speed, bigger reach! Buster 4 (Model Buster IV) The Buster 4 is the classic workhorse that’s been trusted by major North American processors for years. With a 3.3 hp motor and proven design, it can handle 160–180 cattle per hour or tackle hogs just as easily. It’s perfect for mid-sized plants processing both species. Durable, dependable, and easy to clean — this saw is for operators who want one reliable machine that can do it all. Model H080 Electric Bandsaw Smaller plant? Mixed species? Limited power supply? The H080 is your best friend. This compact 2 hp electric saw can process 400 hogs or 120 beef carcasses per hour and runs on single- or three-phase power. It’s lightweight, maneuverable, and budget-friendly — but still built with the same Jarvis quality and long blade life (up to 800 hogs per blade!). For regional abattoirs or multi-species processors , the H080 offers unmatched versatility. High-Throughput Circular Splitting Saw – SEC-400 When maximum speed is the name of the game, the Jarvis SEC-400 steps in. This electric circular splitting saw can process up to 750 hogs per hour , easily keeping up with the fastest kill lines in the industry. Its 5 hp motor drives a rotating circular blade that cuts clean and straight every time — reducing bone dust and giving you a polished split. Choose from 16- or 18-inch blades to suit your carcass size. The SEC-400 is built for industrial pork processors who demand nonstop reliability, precision, and hygiene. The sealed motor resists water and dust, while optional electric or mechanical braking systems stop the blade fast between cuts. Simply put — if you want the best-performing circular saw in the business, this is it. Reciprocating Splitting Saws – The Wellsaw Series Wellsaw 404 Lightweight, fast, and precise — the Wellsaw 404 is a favorite among custom butchers and small processors. With a 1 hp motor and a weight of just 10 pounds, it’s perfect for splitting smaller carcasses, veal, or hogs without the bulk or cost of a large bandsaw. It’s also excellent for forequartering, brisket opening, or trimming , offering detailed control in tight spaces. And here’s the best part — the 404 delivers professional, clean cuts for a fraction of the price of a full-size bandsaw. It proves you don’t need massive equipment to get big results — just the right tool for the job! Wellsaw 444 When you need more power without giving up control, the Wellsaw 444 delivers. It’s a 2 hp electric reciprocating saw designed for beef quarters and thick bone cuts . Heavier-duty than the 404 but still nimble, it’s ideal as a secondary splitter or for rework on the kill floor. Many plants pair the 444 with a main bandsaw — the perfect combo for handling both large and fine cutting tasks. Pneumatic Wellsaws (Models 424 & 464) Prefer to run on air instead of electricity? Jarvis has you covered. The pneumatic 424 (light-duty) and 464 (heavy-duty) Wellsaws deliver the same performance without electric components. They’re ideal for plants with compressed air systems or facilities focused on sanitation and operator safety. Pneumatic saws also stay cool during long shifts, making them a smart choice for continuous work in wet environments. Split Smarter with Jarvis A clean, accurate split is the start of a clean, efficient process. Whether you’re upgrading your kill floor or building a new facility, Jarvis Canada offers the splitting equipment to take your operation to the next level. From high-horsepower bandsaws that roar through beef backbones to lightweight Wellsaws that make detailed work feel effortless — every Jarvis tool is built for performance, durability, and safety. It’s time to split smarter. Contact Jarvis Canada today to talk about the best saw configuration for your plant — and see how much more efficient your line can be!

No ladders. No hunting down bins. No wasted steps. The LogiMat is a vertical lift module , which means it stores items in trays stacked all the way up to the ceiling. When we need something, the machine’s internal elevator zooms up, grabs the tray, and brings it straight down to an operator at an ergonomic workstation. The result? We can now store up to 90% more inventory in the same footprint as traditional shelving. It’s like turning one room into ten! Why We Installed It — and Why We’re So Excited At Jarvis Canada, we’re always looking for ways to be more efficient and innovative — not just for ourselves, but for our customers too.

Yet, the system runs quietly and smoothly all day long. It’s strong, smart, and surprisingly elegant. How It’s Changing Our Day-to-Day For our warehouse team, the LogiMat has been a total game-changer. The days of endless walking, searching, and ladder climbing are gone. Now, when someone needs a part, the LogiMat simply brings it to them. No wasted steps, no guesswork, and no delays. It’s efficient, fast, and — honestly — kind of fun to watch in action. The system also keeps things accurate. With digital controls and guided picking lights, errors have dropped dramatically.

- Jarvis Canada Service Spotlight: Circular Saw Blade Sharpening
Welcome to the Jarvis Canada Service Spotlight, showcasing the expertise that keeps your blades factory-sharp. This month, we’re turning our attention to our Circular Saw Blade Sharpening Service. We go into the specifics of how we get your blades back to factory-level sharpness. From the moment your blade arrives at our shop to the final inspection, every step is handled with expert care and state-of-the-art technology to ensure the cleanest, most accurate cuts possible. At the heart of our sharpening operation is what we proudly call “The Green Machine.” This isn’t just another grinder — it’s a computer-controlled, laser-guided sharpening system engineered for total accuracy. The Green Machine doesn’t guess. It scans every tooth with pinpoint precision, measures wear down to thousandths of an inch, and regrinds your blade back to optimal cutting geometry. It’s precision you can see, performance you can feel, and craftsmanship you can trust — only from Jarvis Canada. A close-up look at the Green Machine — Jarvis Canada’s advanced CNC sharpening system — as it precisely regrinds each tooth of a circular saw blade. What Blades Do We Sharpen? At Jarvis Canada, our sharpening service can handle any circular saw blade up to 21 inches in diameter , including the massive SEC 400 series and other production-grade blades used for cutting beef, pork, and poultry. We regularly service: Standard 6”–21” circular blades used in small and mid-sized saws Custom OEM circular blades compatible with Jarvis equipment and other major brands Each blade is laser-scanned, reprofiled, and rebalanced before it leaves our shop, ensuring flawless, vibration-free performance on your production line. Fair Pricing and Honest Service At Jarvis Canada , precision sharpening comes with clear, straightforward pricing you can count on. Circular saw sharpening starts at $40 per pass , depending on the size and condition of your blade. Even if a heavily worn blade needs a few passes on the Green Machine, it’s still a fraction of the cost of buying a new blade worth several hundred dollars . It’s the smart way to keep your equipment cutting like new — without breaking the budget. The Jarvis Canada “Green Machine” — a CNC-controlled, laser-guided sharpening system designed for precision circular saw blade restoration. Inside the Green Machine: Our High-Tech Sharpening System Let’s talk tech. The heart of our sharpening operation is what we affectionately call “The Green Machine.” This isn’t your average grinder. It’s a CNC-controlled, laser-guided sharpening system — the same type of machine used to manufacture Jarvis blades in the first place. That means every blade we service comes back to you cutting like new and built to the same precise geometry it was designed with. Here’s how it works: A laser scanner reads the exact geometry of your blade, tooth by tooth. The machine calculates precisely how much material to remove — sometimes only a few thousandths of an inch. Then, it automatically grinds the perfect angle and set, restoring the edge to optimal cutting geometry for smooth, efficient performance. Each blade that comes through our doors is inspected, cleaned, and carefully assessed before sharpening begins. Some blades are straightforward — one or two passes and they’re ready to go. Others, especially those that have been used hard or incorrectly sharpened elsewhere, may require multiple laser-guided passes to bring back to life. Why Professional Sharpening Beats DIY Every Time Sure, you can try to sharpen a circular blade yourself. But without the right equipment, you’re more likely to take off too much material, overheat the metal, or ruin the tooth profile and balance completely. Our sharpening machines restore not just the sharpness — but the precision geometry that makes your saw perform smoothly and safely. You’ll get: Perfectly uniform teeth. Correct rake angles. Proper balance and smooth rotation. It’s more than just sharpening — it’s restoring your blade’s DNA. And if you’ve ever tried to push a dull saw through bone or brisket, you know exactly why that matters. A lineup of freshly sharpened Jarvis circular saw blades — ready for precision cutting and peak performance. Why Regular Sharpening Pays Off Sending your blades in regularly is the smartest move you can make. Blades that are kept sharp cut faster, generate less heat, and reduce wear on both the blade and the motor. Over time, this means fewer replacements , less downtime, and smoother production overall. Many of our customers send their blades in every few months for maintenance. Others come in quarterly. Either way, consistency keeps your operation sharp — literally. Skip too many sharpenings, and you risk taking off more material later just to fix the uneven wear. A little attention now saves a lot later! Fast Turnaround and Customer Convenience We know downtime is expensive, so we work fast. For most sharpening services, turnaround time is typically a few days , depending on workload and blade volume. Whether you’re dropping blades off at our Calgary location or shipping them in from across Canada, our team ensures every order is processed quickly and handled with care. No matter where you’re located, you can count on Jarvis Canada to return your blades sharp, balanced, and ready to perform. Cutting Edge in Every Sense When you choose Jarvis Canada for your circular saw sharpening, you’re not just getting a service — you’re getting factory-grade precision , expert craftsmanship, and a partner who knows your equipment inside and out. Keep your blades performing like new. Keep your operation running clean and efficient. And keep your edge sharp with Jarvis Canada’s sharpening services .

Jarvis Canada’s grinder plate sharpener—designed to restore precise cutting surfaces for consistent performance in meat grinding operations. Why Professional Sharpening Beats DIY It’s tempting to grab a file or grinder and try to sharpen a blade yourself. But here’s the truth: DIY sharpening often does more harm than good. The Risks of DIY Wrong angles, wrong results. Most people don’t know the exact geometry each blade requires. A small mistake can permanently change the profile, making the blade impossible to recover. Lost material. Grinding too aggressively removes more steel than necessary. That shortens the life of the blade and may force you to replace it sooner. Inconsistent results. DIY methods rarely deliver an even, balanced edge. An unbalanced blade causes vibration, rough cuts, and faster wear on your machine. False economy. A botched sharpening job can turn a $40 service into a $300 replacement. The Advantages of Professional Service Factory-profile accuracy. At Jarvis, we use specialized CNC machines, laser measurement systems, and dedicated fixtures designed for different blade types. These are industrial tools you simply don’t have access to in a DIY setting. Sharper than new. Customers often tell us their well saw blades come back sharper than out of the package . Longer blade life. By removing only what’s necessary, we extend the usable life of your tools. Safer operation. Properly sharpened blades cut smoothly with less vibration, protecting both the operator and the tool itself. At the end of the day, professional sharpening isn’t just about making blades sharp—it’s about keeping your equipment productive, your operators safe, and your investment working as long as possible. Clear Signs Your Blade Needs Sharpening A sharp blade does the work for you. A dull one makes you do the work—and that’s when you know it’s time to send it in. Here are the most common warning signs: Tearing instead of slicing. Cuts start to look rough, ragged, or uneven. Excess bone dust. Instead of a clean cut, the blade “rips” and leaves behind extra residue. Choking or dragging. The blade resists the cut, slows down, or seems to “fight” through material. Tool vibration. You’ll feel more shake and rattle in the handle as the blade struggles. Increased effort. If you find yourself pushing harder to get through product, the blade isn’t sharp enough anymore. Jarvis Canada’s dehider blade sharpener—designed to precisely restore the valleys and flats for smooth, consistent performance in meat processing. Sharpen vs. Replace: Where’s the Line? Every blade has a lifespan—but knowing when it can still be sharpened versus when it’s time to replace can save you a lot of money (and frustration). When Sharpening Still Makes Sense The blade still has enough material left to restore its edge and tooth profile. The diameter or tooth height hasn’t dropped below safe operating limits. The blade isn’t cracked, warped, or otherwise structurally compromised. Fit and tolerances are still acceptable in the machine. If these boxes are checked, sharpening keeps your blade in circulation longer, often for many cycles. When It’s Time to Replace Too much material is gone. For example, a circular saw blade that’s lost so much diameter it bottoms out in the sharpener. The tooth profile is past recovery. Sometimes, reshaping would require grinding down so far that it isn’t practical or safe. Structural damage is visible. Cracks, warping, or heavy chipping mean the blade can’t be trusted. Sharpening costs more than replacing. A quick economic test: if a blade requires multiple heavy passes that approach or exceed the cost of a new blade, replacement is the better path. Our Approach We won’t just grind metal for the sake of it. Every blade is assessed before we start, and if sharpening isn’t the best option, we’ll tell you straight up. That way you avoid throwing good money after bad blades, and you can plan replacements on your schedule. Keep Edges Sharp Between Services (Simple Best Practices) A sharp blade is an investment—and the way you handle it between services can make all the difference. With a few simple habits, you can stretch the time between sharpenings and keep your blades cutting clean. 1. Clean and Oil After Use Residue, moisture, and blood can quickly lead to rust. Wipe blades down after use and apply a light coat of oil to protect the edge. 2. Store Them Safely Don’t toss blades in a toolbox or leave them stacked together. Use blade guards, sleeves, or cases so the fine edge isn’t knocked or chipped in storage. Even a small ding can shorten a blade’s life. 3. Avoid Drops and Knocks Edges are more fragile than they look. Dropping a blade on the floor or banging it against metal can ruin the profile in an instant. Handle them carefully—especially after sharpening. 4. Stay on a Routine Don’t wait until a blade is completely dull before sending it in. Regular maintenance keeps edges sharp with minimal metal removal, which means longer blade life overall. The Last Word on Sharp Blades Sharp blades make all the difference in meat processing. They cut cleaner, reduce bone dust, protect your equipment, and make the job easier and safer for your team. At Jarvis Canada, we combine specialized CNC machinery, laser measurement systems, and decades of expertise to restore blades back to OEM geometry—something DIY methods simply can’t achieve. Whether it’s circular saws, brisket saws, dehiders, well saws, grinder plates, or knives, we’re here to keep your tools performing at their best. With regular sharpening and a few simple care habits, you’ll get the longest possible life out of every blade—and confidence that your operation is running at peak efficiency. Ready to keep your edge? Contact Jarvis Canada today to book sharpening services, request a quote, or set up a routine maintenance schedule that works for your operation. FAQs Can you fix a DIY‑sharpened blade? Sometimes. If the wrong angle or too much material was removed, restoring OEM geometry may not be safe or economical. We’ll assess and advise. How many times can a blade be sharpened? It depends on how much we have to remove each service and how well the blade is cared for. With regular sharpening , many blades see a dozen or more cycles before replacement. Will you reject a blade? Yes—if we can’t bring it back safely or cost‑effectively. We’ll explain why and offer replacement options. Do you sharpen butcher knives? We do. Add them to your next batch. Join Our Newsletter and Follow Us on Facebook Stay connected with Jarvis Canada!

- Chainmail Mesh Repair Guide: How Jarvis Canada Restores Your Safety Gear
Your protective mesh gear works hard every day — cutting, trimming, and processing meat safely isn’t easy! Over time, even the toughest stainless-steel gloves and aprons take a beating. Rings can break, straps wear out, and springs snap. That’s where we come in. At Jarvis Canada, we don’t just make world-class meat processing tools — we also restore your chainmail mesh gear back to factory condition . Whether it’s a glove with a few missing rings or an apron that’s seen better days, our repair team makes it look and perform like new again. Let’s take a look inside our repair process, how pricing works, and what to expect when you send your gear in! Jarvis Canada’s mesh repair bench — where precision tools and skilled hands restore stainless-steel gear to like-new condition. Common Types of Damage We Repair Even the best equipment wears down. Here’s what we see most often in our repair shop: Missing rings or punctures — usually from sharp tools or heavy use. Broken or stretched springs — the small coiled parts that tighten glove cuffs. Damaged straps and snaps — whether nylon, plastic, or fabric, they can fray or snap off over time. Tears or holes in mesh aprons — caused by impact or excessive strain. And don’t worry — we’ll always assess whether a repair makes sense before doing any work. If your glove or apron is beyond economical repair, we’ll tell you up front and help you find a replacement option that fits your needs. How We Determine Repair Costs We believe in simple, transparent pricing . Every repair follows the same basic structure: $27 per glove for standard mesh repair (no strap replacement) $29 per glove if the strap also needs replacement $56 per apron for standard repairs Some components — like tube springs or cross-wire springs — cost $13 each . If replacing too many of these brings the total near the cost of a new glove (around $75), we’ll recommend replacement instead. You’ll always know what you’re paying for, and we’ll never surprise you with hidden fees. Fair and honest — that’s how we do things at Jarvis. A Jarvis Canada technician carefully repairs stainless-steel mesh gear — precision and craftsmanship in every ring. Inside the Repair Process — Step by Step Here’s what happens after your gloves or aprons arrive at our repair shop: 1. Safety First: Inspection and Cleaning We always start by washing each item thoroughly. That removes any debris or residue before we even touch it. Then our technicians check every inch — especially between the fingers and seams — to find holes or weak spots. 2. Ring Replacement Using precision pliers and welding equipment, we replace damaged rings one at a time. Each ring is carefully opened, inserted through the correct weave, and welded closed. The direction of the weave matters — it ensures the repaired section lies flat and remains as strong as the original. 3. Strap and Spring Repair If a strap or spring is damaged, it’s removed, cleaned, and replaced with matching high-quality components. Sometimes we even upgrade to more durable plastic straps for easier cleaning and longer lifespan. 4. Double Wash and Finishing After repairs, the glove or apron goes through a second wash to remove mineral oils and adhesives used during the process. Everything is air-dried and inspected again. 5. Quality Control Our technicians know every weave pattern by memory. They’ll make sure the repaired section matches perfectly — strong, tight, and comfortable to wear. When your mesh comes back, it’ll look almost brand new. You might only spot the repairs if you know exactly where to look! When to Repair and When to Replace We follow a simple “Rule of Three.” If three or more major parts (like springs or hoops) are damaged, it’s usually not worth repairing — the cost is too close to buying new gear. And if the damage is extreme (like missing most of a glove finger), we’ll contact you first. Our goal is to save you money and keep your team safe, not waste time or materials on something that can’t be restored properly. The good news? Minor repairs often take just minutes to fix — so you’ll get your gear back quickly and affordably. Industrial sewing station used for replacing and reinforcing straps on mesh gloves and aprons at Jarvis Canada. Tools, Materials, and Craftsmanship Our repair shop is fully equipped with specialized tools — from precision welders to industrial sewing machines. Depending on the type of gear, we use setups for: Welded rings Snaps and rivets Nylon and plastic strap stitching And behind every repair is a skilled technician who’s part craftsman, part engineer. Many of our repair experts have spent years learning different weave patterns from multiple brands. That means your glove will always come back strong, flexible, and food-safe. Shipping and Customer Guidelines Most customers ship their mesh gear to us for repair — it’s fast and easy! But if you’re nearby, you’re always welcome to drop it off in person too. Here’s how to make sure your repairs go smoothly: Clean your gloves or apron before sending, if possible. Include your return address, contact details, and any relevant paperwork inside the package. If there’s a certain spot you want fixed, go ahead and tie a string or tag around it — but don’t worry if you forget! We do a full inspection on every glove and apron, so we’ll catch it either way. Once received, we’ll inspect, repair, and ship it back to you. Small repairs are often completed within a few days. Larger orders (like 50 gloves) can take a week or two , depending on the work needed and drying time. We’ll keep you updated the whole way through. Quality You Can Trust Every repaired item is brought back to factory specifications whenever possible . And when original parts aren’t available, we use safe, durable alternatives that meet or exceed performance standards. We stand behind our repairs — because we know your safety depends on them. Why Choose Jarvis Canada for Mesh Repair? Fast turnaround times — often same-week service. Transparent pricing with no surprises. Eco-friendly approach — we recycle unrecoverable parts whenever possible. Personalized support for both small butcher shops and large processing plants. We treat every repair like it’s our own gear — because we know how much your safety matters. Keep Your Protection Strong Your chainmail mesh gear is your first line of defense — and it deserves expert care. At Jarvis Canada, we take pride in giving your gloves and aprons a second life through precise, professional repairs that keep you safe on the job.

We’ll clean it, inspect it, and return it ready for the production floor — looking and performing like new.

- Harvest Season Essentials: Knives, Slicers, and Saws for Hunters, Fishermen, and Home Chefs
Autumn means more than just crisp air and falling leaves. It’s harvest season—a time when hunters take to the field, anglers head for their favorite waters, and families gather for hearty feasts. Whether you’re skinning a deer, filleting fish, or carving a holiday ham, one truth never changes: the right cutting tool makes all the difference. In this guide, we’ll explore the essential knives and saws that belong in your toolkit. From specialized hunting and fishing knives to the Thanksgiving-ready ham slicer and the trusted Jarvis 404 Wellsaw, we’ll show you how to cut smarter this season. And of course, we’ll finish with one of the most overlooked—but crucial—parts of meat processing: keeping every blade razor sharp. Ta ble of Contents Essential Hunting Knives for the Field Fishing Knives for Fresh Catch Preparation Leather Sheaths: Protecting Your Knives in the Field The Ham Slicer – A Holiday Hero The Jarvis Model 404 Wellsaw – Trusted by Hunters Keeping Blades Sharp – Professional Sharpening Services Join Our Newsletter and Follow Us on Facebook A professional hunting and butchering knife set neatly stored in a rugged leather roll—built for durability, protection, and convenience in the field. Essential Hunting Knives for the Field A hunting knife isn’t just a tool. It’s your partner in the field, helping you process game safely and efficiently. Different knives are built for different tasks, and once you’ve tried the right blade, you’ll never look back. Skinning Knives When it comes to field dressing, nothing beats a good skinning knife. These blades are built with one job in mind: removing hides quickly, cleanly, and without wasting meat. The short, curved blade with a wide belly gives you smooth, gliding cuts that follow the natural contours of the animal. And because the tip is often rounded or dropped, you don’t have to worry about accidentally puncturing muscle or tearing the hide. Skinning knives are razor sharp and fairly thin, giving you maximum control with every cut. That precision is what makes them so effective at peeling back hides from deer, hogs, and other game while preserving valuable pelts. Of course, the handle matters just as much as the blade. Many skinning knives come with textured rubber or non-slip grips, which is a lifesaver when your hands are wet or bloody. It keeps the knife secure in your palm and reduces the risk of accidents during messy work. One thing to keep in mind: these knives are specialists. They’re not meant for chopping or prying, and if you push them into those jobs, you’ll dull or damage the blade. Use them for what they’re designed for—clean, precise skinning—and they’ll serve you well season after season. Take the hassle out of hide removal—explore our Skinning Knife Collection and find the perfect tool for clean, efficient skinning. Boning Knives After an animal is skinned and gutted, the real butchery begins—and that’s when a boning knife earns its place. These blades are thin, narrow, and designed to separate meat from bone with precision. Once big game is broken down into quarters, a boning knife helps you trim meat off the carcass, work along ribs and joints, and free every last cut of usable meat. Boning knives usually measure between 5 and 7 inches, with a long, slender profile and just enough flexibility to contour around curved bones. That little bit of flex allows the blade to glide smoothly along rib bones, silverskin, and connective tissue, minimizing waste while keeping cuts clean. The sharp, pointed tip is perfect for detail work, giving you control in places where larger knives simply can’t reach. In many ways, a boning knife is similar to a kitchen fillet knife, and some hunting kits even combine the two. The difference? Boning knives for game are generally sturdier, built to handle the tougher work of deer or elk, while fillet knives are optimized for fish. A good boning blade makes quick work of tight spots around joints or the backbone—but it’s not built for everything. These knives aren’t meant for chopping through bones or prying. Push them too far, and you risk dulling or even snapping the blade. That’s why hunters reserve boning knives for fine butchery work after the heavy lifting of field dressing is done. Used correctly, they maximize yield, minimize waste, and turn quarters of game into clean, ready-to-cook cuts. Ready to maximize every cut of meat? Check out our Boning Knife Collection and see how the right blade makes all the difference. A sharp fillet knife in action—cleanly preparing fresh fish into boneless fillets for the table. Fishing Knives for Fresh Catch Preparation Fillet Knives: Precision for Cleaning Fish Fillet knives are the true specialists of the fishing world. They’re designed for one job—cleaning and filleting fish—and they do it with incredible precision. With their long, thin, and highly flexible blades, fillet knives let you separate flesh from bone with minimal waste. That flexibility allows the blade to glide along the backbone and rib bones, giving you clean, boneless fillets without tearing the delicate meat. A good fillet knife usually has a slightly curved, razor-sharp blade and a pointed tip for detail work around fins and bones. The result? Surgical-level cuts that turn a fresh catch into perfectly trimmed fillets ready for the pan or grill. Most fillet knives fall between 6 and 9 inches long. Shorter blades are ideal for small fish like panfish or trout, while longer 8–12 inch blades handle larger species such as salmon or tuna. The flex in the blade helps it follow the natural contours of the fish, and the thin profile reduces flesh sticking as you work. For safety and control, these knives almost always feature non-slip handles—rubberized or textured—to keep your grip secure when your hands are wet or slimy. No matter where you fish, a fillet knife is a must-have. In freshwater, a 6″–7″ knife is perfect for bass or walleye, while offshore anglers reach for larger blades to handle big game. From a lakeside camping trip to the deck of a deep-sea charter, the fillet knife is the go-to tool for turning your catch into a delicious meal. Ready to gear up? Check out our Fillet Knife Collection and find the perfect blade for your next catch. Leather Sheaths: Protecting Your Knives in the Field A good knife deserves a good sheath. After all, the sharpest blade isn’t much use if it’s damaged—or worse, if it isn’t safe to carry. That’s where a quality leather sheath comes in. Built tough and made to last, leather sheaths keep your knives protected, accessible, and secure whether you’re in the field, on the water, or at the butcher’s block. Victory’s leather sheaths are designed for specific knives, giving each blade a snug, reliable fit: Skinning & Ribbing Knives: The Victory Leather Skinning Sheath is built for knives up to 17cm. It offers strong protection and quick access, making it a go-to for hunters, butchers, and meat processors alike. Boning Knives: The Victory Leather Boning Sheath fits boning knives up to 17cm, providing both safety and convenience. Whether you’re in the kitchen or outdoors, it keeps your knife ready and protected. Compact Knives: For drop points, rabbiters, or small curved boning knives, the Victory Small Leather Sheath offers lightweight, durable storage without bulk. Perfect for professionals on the move or hunters who need secure carry in the field. Made from premium leather, these sheaths combine durability with a professional look. More importantly, they keep your knives sharp, safe, and easy to transport—because your tools should always be ready when you are. Carving tender, juicy slices of ham with precision—perfect presentation for a holiday feast. The Ham Slicer – A Holiday Hero When Thanksgiving or Christmas rolls around, nothing turns heads like a perfectly carved ham. That’s where a dedicated ham slicer knife shines! Take the VictoryKnives 30cm Ham Slicer as an example. With its long, narrow blade, you can glide through roasts, brisket, or smoked ham in one smooth stroke. No tearing. No shredding. Just beautiful, uniform slices ready for the table. Ham slicers aren’t just for ham, either. They’re fantastic for smoked brisket, turkey, or even large fruits and vegetables. Around the holidays, this knife is the star of the kitchen—making you look like a pro chef, even at home. T he Jarvis Model 404 Wellsaw – Trusted by Hunters Hunters and small processors know that knives can only do so much when it comes to breaking down big game. That’s where the Jarvis Model 404 Wellsaw comes in. This lightweight electric reciprocating saw—just 9.8 lbs—runs at 8,000 strokes per minute. It’s perfect for brisket splitting, forequarter trimming, and full carcass breaking. Hunters love it because it bridges the gap between traditional butcher shop tools and heavy-duty plant equipment. Whether you’re processing a moose in the garage or splitting pork in a shop, the 404 delivers clean, consistent cuts without wearing you out. No wonder it’s a favorite for game processors across Canada. A chef hones a knife with a sharpening steel—keeping blades razor-sharp for precision and safety. Keeping Blades Sharp – Professional Sharpening Services A sharp blade isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re a hunter, angler, butcher, or home chef, a well-honed edge means cleaner cuts, less waste, and safer handling. Dull tools make you push harder, cause messy cuts, and wear down your equipment faster. That’s why keeping your knives and saw blades sharp is one of the most important parts of meat processing and meal preparation. At Jarvis Canada , we offer professional sharpening services that restore blades back to their factory geometry. Using CNC machines, laser measurement, and specialized fixtures, we sharpen everything from circular saws and Wellsaw blades to grinder plates, brisket saws, dehiders, and hand knives. Customers often say their blades come back sharper than when they were new—and that’s no exaggeration. Sharpening Steels: Your First Line of Defense While professional sharpening brings back the factory edge, regular maintenance in between services is just as important. That’s where sharpening steels come in. The 30cm Medium Flügel Steel No. 3 delivers aggressive sharpening with a medium-grit surface, perfect for keeping your knives cutting smoothly day to day. Its durable German construction and ergonomic handle make it a trusted tool in butcher shops and kitchens alike. The 28cm Super Large Steel takes a finer approach, offering extra-fine grit to realign and refine knife edges without grinding away material. Crafted in France, it’s ideal for maintaining razor-sharp precision and prolonging the life of your blades. Think of steels as edge “maintainers.” They don’t replace full sharpening, but they keep your knives performing their best between trips to the sharpener. Used regularly, they help extend the time before professional servicing is needed. Want to keep your knives razor-sharp between professional services? Explore our Sharpening Steels Collection and find the perfect steel to match your blades. Why Professional Sharpening Still Matters Even with good care, every blade eventually loses its true profile. That’s when professional sharpening becomes essential. DIY methods often grind away too much material or damage the blade’s geometry, shortening its life. Our team ensures only what’s necessary is removed, extending blade longevity while restoring the original edge. Signs your blade needs sharpening: Cuts start tearing instead of slicing Extra bone dust or rough edges appear You feel vibration or drag in the cut More effort is required to push through material When those warning signs show up, it’s time to send your tools in. Cutting Smarter This Harvest Season Harvest season is about more than tradition—it’s about preparation, precision, and pride in the work you do. Whether you’re in the field skinning a deer, on the water filleting a fresh catch, carving a holiday ham, or breaking down big game with a Wellsaw, the right tool makes every cut smoother and every job easier. Investing in quality knives and equipment—skinning, boning, filleting, slicing, or sawing—means you’ll work faster, waste less, and enjoy the process more. Pair that with durable leather sheaths, sharpening steels for daily maintenance, and professional sharpening services for long-term care, and your tools will always be ready when you need them most. This season, don’t just get the job done—do it with confidence. Stay sharp, protect your gear, and enjoy the rewards of hunting, fishing, and feasting. After all, a great harvest deserves nothing less than the best tools in your hands. Ready to upgrade your kit? Explore our full range of knives, Wellsaws, sheaths, and sharpening tools—and make every slice count this harvest season.

- Pick the Perfect Powerload — Your Quick‑Glance Charts for .22 & .25 Cartridges
Not all blanks are built the same! Matching cartridge strength to species and size is just as important as choosing the right stunner. Too light, and you risk a mis‑stun; too heavy, and you stress the equipment and the carcass. That’s why we’ve laid out two easy reference charts—one for .22‑calibre loads and one for .25‑calibre loads —showing exactly which grain weight and colour code Jarvis recommends for everything from rabbits and piglets to mature bulls and bison. Use these guides to double‑check your daily setup, train new staff, or troubleshoot a tricky stun. And remember the golden rule plastered across every Jarvis manual: never exceed the load prescribed for your stunner model. Always follow your operator’s guide, keep spare colours on hand, and you’ll hit that one‑shot, humane stun every time. Jarvis .22 Powerload Application Guide: Recommended cartridge grain loads by animal type for safe and effective stunning. Jarvis .25 Powerload Application Guide: Recommended cartridge grain loads for different livestock species, ensuring safe and humane stunning. Best Placement and Angles for Captive-Bolt Stunning Proper stunning placement in cattle: The recommended angle and frontal positions ensure effective and humane stunning. Cattle Frontal Position (Preferred) Placement: on the midline of the forehead, at the intersection of two imaginary lines drawn from the inside corner of each eye to the base of the opposite horn (or to the top of the opposite ear in hornless breeds). This is about 4–7 cm above the eye line. Angle: hold the stunner perpendicular (90°) to the skull, muzzle flat against the forehead. The bolt should travel straight back through the cerebrum into the midbrain/brainstem. Reasoning: this alignment ensures maximum disruption of the brainstem, which governs consciousness and vital functions. Key Notes: Do not aim between the eyes (too low) — risk of missing the brainstem. Ensure the muzzle is flat and firmly pressed against the skull. For mature bulls, use a longer bolt (≈15 cm) and higher-caliber cartridge to penetrate thicker skulls. Optimal stunning positions for sheep and goats: Recommended angle for effective and humane application. Sheep Hornless (Polled) Sheep Placement: on the top of the head, midline, at the highest point of the skull. Angle: hold the stunner straight down (90° to the skull), aiming toward the throat/jaw angle. This ensures the bolt travels vertically into the center of the brain and down toward the brainstem. Horned Sheep Placement: on the midline just behind the horn ridge (poll position). Angle: direct the bolt forward and downward toward the base of the tongue/back of the throat. Reasoning: this bypasses the thick horn base bone, delivering energy to the brainstem region. Key Notes: Avoid frontal (between-the-eyes) shots, especially in rams—the thick forehead bone can deflect the bolt. Always hold the stunner flush and square to the skull surface for full energy transfer. Goats All Goats (Treat as Horned) Placement: on the midline just behind the bony horn mass (poll). Angle: aim downward and forward toward the base of the tongue/back of the throat. Reasoning: goats have an especially thick frontal bone; a frontal shot may fail to penetrate or concuss adequately. The poll position avoids the densest part of the skull and directs the bolt into the brain and brainstem. Key Notes: Never attempt a frontal forehead shot in adult goats. Apply the stunner firmly perpendicular to the poll surface. Proper angle and frontal position for humane and effective stunning in pigs. Pigs Frontal Position (Preferred) Placement: on the midline of the forehead, about 2 cm (20 mm) above eye level (or at the point where lines drawn from each ear to the opposite eye intersect). For mature boars/sows with a “dish” forehead, the ideal point may be slightly higher. Angle: hold the stunner flush with the skull and angle the bolt slightly backward (toward the tail) — i.e., a rearward/straight-back trajectory through the skull toward the brainstem. Do not aim straight down between the eyes (too low) or straight up into the sinuses. Reasoning: pigs have deep-set brains and extensive frontal sinuses; a slightly backward trajectory helps the bolt pass through the sinuses and reach the cranial vault and brainstem rather than lodging in sinus cavities.

- The History of Jarvis Products Corporation: Over a Century of Innovation
For over a century, Jarvis Products Corporation has been driving change in the meat processing industry. What started in 1901 as a small Connecticut workshop making simple tools like nutcrackers has grown into a global leader known for innovation, quality, and reliability. From handheld knives and saws to pneumatic stunners and robotic carcass splitters, Jarvis has consistently reimagined how meat is processed, making plants safer, faster, and more efficient. This story isn’t just about machines — it’s about people, vision, and craftsmanship carried across five generations of family leadership and global expansion. With milestones like the creation of Jarvis Canada in 1963, the company’s influence has stretched worldwide while staying rooted in its tradition of precision engineering. In this article, we’ll explore Jarvis’s journey from humble beginnings to modern automation, and how its tools continue to shape the future of food processing. Jarvis Global Headquarters in Middletown, Connecticut Founding and Early Years (1901–1930s) The Jarvis story begins in 1901, when Charles L. Jarvis purchased the Ideal Manufacturing Company in Hartford, Connecticut. At first, the business was modest, producing simple household hardware like nutcrackers and nutpicks . But even in these early years, Jarvis built a reputation for precision machining and dependable craftsmanship — qualities that would define the company for generations. By 1910, Charles’s son Marshall N. Jarvis had joined the firm, marking the start of a true family enterprise. That same year, the company faced a challenge: it had outgrown its small Hartford location. The solution was bold — the entire factory was loaded onto a barge and floated down the Connecticut River to Portland, Connecticut. This unusual move reflected the company’s resourcefulness and determination to expand. In 1913, the business was officially renamed The Charles L. Jarvis Company to honor its founder. Over the next two decades, the company thrived under family leadership. During the 1920s and 1930s, a third generation entered the picture when William F. Jarvis joined his father, Marshall. The company relocated once again, this time to a larger site in Middletown, Connecticut, which would eventually become Jarvis’s long-term headquarters. By the end of the 1930s, Jarvis had moved far beyond nutcrackers. It had evolved into a diversified manufacturer, supplying durable metal goods and developing the machining expertise that would later allow it to break into meat processing equipment. The foundation was set for decades of growth and innovation. Mid-Century Growth and Innovations (1940s–1960s) The post–World War II years marked a turning point for Jarvis. In 1954, the company shortened its name to The Jarvis Corporation , signaling a broader scope beyond its early hardware roots. By this time, the company had already begun diversifying into industrial cutting tools and precision machining. That expertise soon opened the door to an entirely new industry: meat processing equipment. One of the first breakthroughs was the mechanized dehider knife in the late 1950s. Prior to its invention, removing cattle hides was done manually with straight knives — a slow, labor-intensive, and often damaging process. Jarvis’s powered knife, equipped with oscillating circular blades, was a game changer. It dramatically sped up hide removal, reduced waste, and improved leather quality. This single innovation reshaped slaughterhouse operations and became one of Jarvis’s flagship products for decades. At the same time, Jarvis engineers explored ways to improve animal stunning methods. In the 1950s, outdated techniques like hammer blows were still common in many plants. Jarvis began experimenting with pneumatic captive-bolt stunners , aiming to deliver a faster, more humane, and more reliable process. While these early designs faced technical hurdles, they laid the groundwork for the advanced stunning equipment Jarvis would later perfect. The company also expanded into powered saws and cutting devices , building on its long experience with machine tools. Manual cleavers and hand saws were gradually replaced with band saws, power splitters, and specialized knives designed to withstand the harsh conditions of meat plants. By the end of the 1960s, Jarvis was no longer just a machine tool company — it was emerging as a global leader in innovative equipment for the meat industry, with a reputation for ruggedness, reliability, and safety. Jarvis Global Network — Connecting headquarters in the U.S.A. with subsidiaries and partners across the world. Global Expansion and Leadership (1950s–1980s) By the mid-20th century, Jarvis had already built a reputation for reliable, innovative equipment. But the next three decades would transform the company from a respected U.S. manufacturer into a truly global enterprise. A pivotal figure in this transformation was Vincent R. Volpe , who joined Jarvis in 1955. Volpe’s early days were humble — he started by cleaning machines — but his ambition and leadership quickly stood out. Within a few years, he was leading export sales and pushing the company toward international markets. The results came fast. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Jarvis established its first overseas subsidiaries in Canada, Australia, and Argentina. These moves gave the company a foothold in major meat-producing regions and marked the beginning of its global reach. Volpe, working closely with the Jarvis family, continued to expand this network throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Branches were opened in Europe (including the UK, France, and Germany), as well as in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. In 1986, Jarvis set up a subsidiary in South Africa, further cementing its role as a worldwide supplier of meat-processing equipment. To ensure consistent support even in countries without a dedicated office, Jarvis built its now-famous “J26 Federation” — a global distributor network designed to provide sales, service, and training everywhere its products were sold. By the end of the 1980s, Jarvis equipment was being used and serviced on every continent. Thanks to its global expansion strategy and relentless focus on product reliability, the company was widely recognized as the world’s largest producer of meat and poultry processing equipment. Volpe’s vision and leadership during this period laid the foundation for Jarvis’s global dominance that continues today. Jarvis Canada Headquarters — Calgary, Alberta. Spotlight: Jarvis Canada (1963–Present) Jarvis Canada deserves special attention. Founded in Toronto in 1963 by Robert and Barbara Streeter, it was the company’s first international branch . From day one, Jarvis Canada introduced Canadian meat processors to modern tools like powered dehiders and carcass splitting saws. The results were transformative for the country’s beef and pork industries. Through the 1980s and 1990s, Jarvis Canada expanded into poultry processing and rolled out pneumatic saws and stunners that aligned with new humane slaughter standards. When the BSE (mad cow disease) crisis hit in 2003, Jarvis Canada was quick to respond with spinal cord removal systems to meet new food safety regulations. The 2000s brought another big change: Jarvis Canada relocated from Toronto to Calgary , Alberta. This move placed the company right in the heart of Canada’s beef industry. With a larger facility and upgraded systems, the Calgary branch became a hub for sales, service, and blade sharpening. In 2016, Sean Dougherty, formerly of Jarvis New Zealand, took over as General Manager. His focus? Strengthening nationwide service and support. Today, Jarvis Canada celebrates over 60 years of leadership, offering everything from handheld trimming knives to robotic splitting systems. It’s no wonder they proudly claim to have been “supporting the Canadian Meat Industry since 1963.” Modern Era: Automation, Safety, and Sustainability As meat plants scaled up in the late 20th and early 21st century, the industry demanded faster throughput, higher yields, and improved safety. Jarvis answered by investing heavily in automation, robotics, and smart technology. One of the most significant achievements came in 2015 with the launch of the JR-165 Robotic Hog Splitter . This system combined Jarvis’s decades of saw design with advanced robotics and vision technology. It automatically split hog carcasses with precision blades, minimizing bone dust and operator risk. The JR-165 was a clear signal: Jarvis wasn’t just making tools anymore — it was reinventing entire processing steps. Similar advances followed in beef processing, where Jarvis secured U.S. patents for machine vision–guided robotic splitting systems. These technologies use cameras and algorithms to locate optimal cut lines, guiding automated saws with accuracy that exceeds manual methods. Alongside robotics, Jarvis continued refining its core lineup — for example, releasing the USSS-21 pneumatic stunner in 2018, a lighter and more efficient upgrade to the original USSS-1. In recent years, sustainability has become a guiding principle. Jarvis emphasizes energy efficiency, reduced air consumption, and waste minimization across its product lines. By blending rugged engineering with smart features like sensors and automation, the company is helping plants cut costs while protecting workers and animals. Legacy and Future Outlook After more than a century in operation, Jarvis Products Corporation stands as one of the most trusted names in the global meat processing industry. Its legacy is built on family leadership across five generations , combined with the vision of influential figures like Vincent R. Volpe, who guided the company’s international expansion for decades. From its early beginnings making nutcrackers to becoming the world’s largest producer of meat and poultry processing equipment, Jarvis has consistently proven its ability to adapt, innovate, and lead. The company’s identity has always rested on three core values: quality, dependability, and innovation . Jarvis tools earned their reputation because they could withstand the toughest conditions in slaughterhouses, and that same rugged reliability continues today in robotic systems, pneumatic stunners, and precision cutting tools. Customers know Jarvis equipment will deliver results, whether it’s used in a family-run butcher shop or a multinational processing plant. Looking to the future, Jarvis is focused on automation, robotics, and sustainability. Vision-guided cutting systems, machine learning, and advanced data integration are no longer distant ideas — they’re shaping how meat is processed right now. At the same time, Jarvis remains committed to improving animal welfare, worker safety, and food quality, ensuring that technological progress goes hand-in-hand with ethical responsibility. In short, Jarvis’s legacy is one of continuous reinvention. From manual tools to power-driven devices, and now to robotics and smart systems, the company has always stayed ahead of the curve. With its deep roots and forward-thinking approach, Jarvis is not just honoring its past — it is actively shaping the future of global meat processing.

- Shipping Your Tool for Repair? Here’s What You Need to Know
When your tool needs servicing, getting it safely to the repair shop is the first—and often most overlooked—step in the process. Every month, we see tools arrive without return details, shipped in weak packaging, or so dirty that the inspection takes twice as long. These small oversights can add costs, cause delays, or even result in avoidable damage. This guide will walk you through how to prepare, package, and ship your tool for repair the right way—so you can get it back in working condition faster and with less hassle. Table of Contents Before Shipping Shipping & Receiving Inspection & Repair Process Costs & Charges Return Shipping Customer Experience & Best Practices Warranty Notes Join Our Newsletter and Follow Us on Facebook Efficient, secure, and ready to ship – your package in motion. Before Shipping Prepare the Tool Properly Before sending a tool in, give it a thorough cleaning . Remove attachments, blades, or supports where possible, and drain any fluids. Not only does this make shipping safer, but it also allows the repair team to start working on a clean, manageable piece of equipment. If the equipment is excessively dirty, a cleaning fee may apply. Use Secure Packaging There’s no one “approved” packing material, but common sense goes a long way. Use sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, padding, and make sure the tool is packed tightly so it won’t shift during transport. Insufficient packaging is one of the most common mistakes customers make, leading to bent guides or damaged housings that drive up repair costs. Decide on a Shipping Label You can either request a shipping label from the repair shop—usually UPS, billed directly to you—or arrange your own carrier. 💡 Tip: The shop may get discounted business rates with carriers like UPS or Canada Post, which can save you money. Include the Right Information Don’t forget to put identification inside the package. Include your business name, a phone number or email, and a short description of the issue. Without this, repair teams often receive boxes with no clue who sent them, which delays the process. Shipping & Receiving Carrier Options Customers are free to choose whichever carrier they prefer when sending in their equipment. However, if you request a shipping label from Jarvis, you can take advantage of discounted rates with UPS—provided they serve your area. UPS is also a strong option because they generally accept packages up to twice (68kg) the weight limit that Canada Post (30kg) allows, making them ideal for heavier tools. Tracking and Updates Currently, when tools arrive, staff will contact customers by email or phone. With new systems being introduced, automated tracking and updates will become standard. If Tools Are Lost or Damaged If the shop arranged shipping: they’ll file a claim with UPS. If you arranged shipping: you’ll need to file the claim with your carrier. Precision at work: diagnosing and repairing commercial equipment in the workshop. Inspection & Repair Process Inspection Procedure Once the tool arrives, it’s logged and inspected. The repair team identifies the problem and prepares a repair quote. No work is started until you approve the repair quote. I nspection Fee A standard $75 inspection fee applies, but this is waived if you approve the repair quote. Labor and Communication Repairs are billed at $85 per hour plus the cost of parts. Quotes are typically sent by email (preferred for documentation), but phone or text follow-ups are possible. Importantly, approvals must come from the customer directly, not a sales rep. Repair Timelines Turnaround depends on the tool. Common models can be repaired quickly, but less common equipment may take longer if OEM parts need to be sourced. We can typically accommodate expedited service requests at no additional cost. Beyond Repair Cases If damage is too severe, the repair team will advise whether repair is possible or if replacement is the better option. Some customers choose repairs to avoid capital expenditure approvals, while others prefer to replace. Costs & Charges Labor Rate : $85/hour Inspection Fee : $75 (waived with repair approval) Quotes : Always include both parts and labor Extra Charges : Cleaning, if the tool arrives in poor condition Testing fees for certain stunners Expedited service upon request (Typically free upon request) Return Shipping Who Pays? Unless the repair is covered under warranty, customers pay shipping both ways. If a warranty claim is confirmed, the shop covers shipping. Billing Return shipping is billed separately and is not included in the repair charges. Return of Non-Repaired Tools If you choose not to proceed after receiving the repair quote, you will be responsible for return shipping and an inspection fee. Insurance & Tracking We currently do not have tracking available in our system, but this feature will be included in our upcoming upgrade. Any claims for loss or damage will depend on the party that arranged the shipment. Turnaround Time Standard return shipping usually takes about a week, depending on location. Expedited options are available for urgent needs. Customer Experience & Best Practices Tips for a Smooth Process Always include contact info and a clear description of the problem. Acknowledge quotes quickly to avoid long delays—some tools have sat for months waiting on customer approval. Pack securely to prevent damage. Reducing Downtime Keep spares or loaner tools available if possible. Having a backup minimizes disruption during repairs. Quality Assurance All repaired tools are tested before being shipped back. Customers should test their equipment as soon as it arrives, since repairs come with a 7-day warranty . Warranty Notes New Equipment Brand new Jarvis tools come with a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects (details are included in the user manual). Warranty Repairs Tools suspected of having manufacturing defects must be sent to the head office. If confirmed, repairs and shipping are covered. If determined to be user error, shipping and repair costs are the customer’s responsibility. Ready to Ship? Make Every Step Count Shipping your tool for repair doesn’t have to be complicated. With proper preparation, secure packaging, and clear communication, you’ll save time, avoid unnecessary costs, and ensure your tool is repaired quickly and reliably. Remember: clean and pack carefully, provide full details, and test your tool as soon as it returns. Following these steps will help you get back to work faster and with confidence.
