WHIZARD® TRIMVAC™ FROM BETTCHER INDUSTRIES
PROVIDES QUICK, CLEAN & EFFICIENT
REMOVAL OF
CHEESE MOLD
Birmingham, Oh., May 15, 2009 — Bettcher Industries, Inc. introduces the Whizard® TrimVac™ for quick, clean and efficient removal of cheese mold. This hand-held tool marries the company's proprietary Whizard® circular blade trimming technology with a highly effective vacuum system to accomplish swift, efficient removal of surface mold from cheese wheels.
With the TrimVac™, operators now have a fast, effective way to trim and vacuum away mold. Moreover, the circular blade action of the TrimVac™ tool reduces the labor requirements and inefficiencies of mold removal when using a conventional knife, while also reducing worker fatigue. Another major benefit of the TrimVac™ is the tool's vacuum action which swiftly and completely removes the trim mold from the work area, thus dramatically reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
A choice of different interchangeable blades is available to enhance the scraping action on the cheese surface, or for digging out and removing any internal mold growth. Pneumatically powered, TrimVac™ uses a blade rotating at an extremely high rate of speed to perform the cutting action, while a simultaneous powerful vacuum process removes all trimmed mold. The trimmed material is vacuum-conveyed to a separate holding tank for proper disposal, thus ensuring that mold spores do not come into contact with other products, workers, or the plant processing line, work surfaces or floor. With TrimVac™, the risk of cross-contamination is dramatically reduced, while work area hygiene and cleanliness are enhanced.
Commenting on the new TrimVac™ tool for cheese mold removal, Kevin Stump, product manager for Bettcher Industries, stated, "TrimVac™ delivers many great advantages to cheese processors. It is the fastest and most effective way to tackle the issue of cheese mold, as well as efficiently and completely removing it from the work area to minimize the risk of contamination. In addition to improved work area hygiene, TrimVac™ is a great way to save on labor costs."
Whizard® TrimVac™ is the ideal tool for meeting and exceeding customer quality control requirements regarding mold removal and product appearance. A choice of different interchangeable blades makes it easy to match the most efficient blade to the specific cheese product. The tool is easy to use and easy to maintain, including extended blade life possible with regular sharpening.
