WHIZARD® SERIES II TRIMMERS EXPAND
HAND-TRIMMING OPTIONS, INCREASE YIELDS,
AND DELIVER A BETTER-LOOKING PRODUCT
Birmingham, Oh., November 8, 2007 — Bettcher Industries offers a wealth of yield-enhancing benefits with its pacesetting Whizard® Series II trimmers. By employing a variety of special blades and depth gauge devices – many of them absolutely unique in the industry – meat processors can achieve new record-setting results in yield enhancement and productivity.
Bettcher Industries provides an array of blade sizes, styles and profiles that provide the right blade for the right application, thereby achieving a cleaner cut and trim for improved yields, product appearance, and productivity. For example, serrated blades have been specially engineered by Bettcher to cut more efficiently and cost-effectively because of their longer-lasting blade sharpness. These serrated blades are particularly effective in difficult trimming operations such as defatting Monday morning hams, defatting beef strips, and removal of the rind from smoked bellies.
Bettcher serrated blades make short work of these once-challenging applications, while at the same time reducing operator fatigue. In fact, field testing demonstrates that using these serrated blades in conjunction with Bettcher Industries’ powerful Ultra Drive™ high-speed motor – featuring 5,000 rpm output and a nearly constant torque level – can reduce stress on the operator by 30% or more.
Moreover, the serrated blades retain their sharpness approximately three times longer than standard blades, making them longer-lasting and easier to maintain.
Bettcher Industries has also developed a variety of depth gauge attachments for Whizard® trimmers that give operators more consistent control over the trimming action. Depth gauges are adjustable according to desired specifications for trim thickness. When using them, even less-skilled operators can trim consistent lengths and thicknesses – literally giving them the ability to “dial in” for optimum yields and product appearance.
Bettcher Industries supports the efforts of meat processors to discover and implement yield-enhancing trimming practices through a network of trained, highly experienced yield specialists located throughout the United States and in other countries. As a complimentary service to each customer, they work on-site at the plant to determine the best program and setup to optimize the effectiveness of meat trimming applications and achieve maximum results. No other manufacturer comes close to having the depth of expertise or the geographic coverage available to support meat processors – free of charge.
