WHIZARD® SERIES II TRIMMERS
DRAMATICALLY IMPROVE PRODUCT MARGINS
IN POULTRY DARK MEAT APPLICATIONS
Birmingham, Oh., February 21, 2007 — Newly introduced Whizard® Series II Trimmer models from Bettcher Industries are designed for high-value poultry applications. This includes meeting the growing popularity of poultry dark meat.
The Whizard® Series II Model 620 Trimmer is particularly well-suited for poultry applications that successfully transform traditional bone-in whole leg quarters into a high-margin, boneless dark meat portions – ready for stuffing or further processing. This new, value-enhancing application creates a highly efficient method for optimizing profits on an otherwise basic, low-margin product.
Using a single Series II Trimmer tool, the whole-leg deboning procedure is swift and effective. First, the operator uses the trimmer blade to expose the thigh and leg bones, then trims away the thigh and leg meat as one piece, with or without the skin. Each dark meat portion is then ready for use in a variety of high-margin products, such as being rolled up with a bread stuffing, cordon bleu, spinach Florentine, or other ingredients. Using this tool, the entire debone process takes seconds, and an experienced operator can easily process six whole leg portions within one minute.
The Whizard® Series II Trimmer line from Bettcher incorporates new, patented design elements to enhance operator productivity, safety and comfort in the deboning procedure. An enhanced gear mesh design contributes to smoother blade operation, while better proximity to the built-in steeling device button makes the blade-steeling operation quicker and more comfortable.
Series II Trimmer handpieces feature a contoured handle to reduce grip force and torque momentum. Operators can choose from five handle sizes, which are easily interchangeable. The handles are color-coded by size for easy identification, and are very comfortable – even during periods of extended use. A removable hand-strap provides operators with added control, while the flex-shaft/casing attaches to the handpiece using a simple two-action motion.
The new features of Whizard® Series II Trimmers are designed specifically for the changing poultry, fish and meat processing industry. They add a new degree of productivity and flexibility in processing better products to meet evolving customer menu preferences and enhance bottom-line profits.
