WHIZARD® TRIMMER IMPROVES SPEED AND EASE OF PREPARING HIDES & SKINS IN TAXIDERMY OPERATIONS
Birmingham, Oh., August 28, 2006 — The Whizard® Series II Trimmer (Model 620) from Bettcher Industries is the ideal fleshing tool for hide preparation in taxidermy operations. Because of the tool’s ingenious and unique rotating circular-blade design, taxidermists can prepare a hide or skin 50% to 60% more quickly than when using conventional fleshing tools.
With the Whizard® Trimmer, operators are able to “bring the knife to the hide” much easier and with less effort. The cutting operation can be performed on a flat surface, making the cuts easier to make and much cleaner, too. The bottom-line result: a faster, more efficient operation, with less stress and fatigue.
Compared to using conventional fleshing tools, the Whizard® Trimmer is also easier to learn and to master. Less-experienced practitioners can be trained on the Whizard® Trimmer much more quickly. It is a superior tool for removing flesh from all portions of animal hides – even up to the edge-face areas.
Available in electric or pneumatic versions, the Whizard® Trimmer features precision-engineered, long-lasting circular blades that deliver precise, clean fleshing, with little muscle effort required. Easy to clean and to service, the Trimmer also possesses a variety of patented design elements that improve the productivity, safety and comfort of operators.
Established in 1944, Bettcher Industries is a leading worldwide developer and manufacturer of innovative precision cutting tools for a wide variety of uses, including food processing, industrial and specialty applications. The company is the originator of the circular blade cutting technology incorporated into Whizard® Trimmers. Based in the United States, Bettcher Industries is an ISO 9001-certified company with direct distribution and service in more than 50 countries throughout the world.
