  • Light Weight: A lighter-weight unit reduces static loading on the forearm.
  • Balanced: A better-balanced unit, with reduced and redistributed weight between the housing and handle, lessens worker fatigue.
  • Better Grip: Specially contoured handles are designed to reduce grip force and torque momentum.
  • Multiple Handle Sizes: Handles available in five sizes (extra extra small, extra small, small, medium and large), workers can easily interchange and adjust the handle that fits them best.
  • Easier on Hands: DynaFlex™ - a food and medical-grade material - reduces soft tissue compression on the hand. Multidirectional ribbing provides a comfortable better grip.
  • Easy to Connect: Captured flex-shaft/casing attaches to handpiece with simple, two-action motion. Quick and easy to remove, too.
  • Less Vibration: New blade/housing interface causes less chatter and less heat for reduced vibration, lower operating temperature, and improved worker health.
  • Easy to Maintain: Captive hex-head housing screws provide for easier, faster removal and reinstallation of blade housing and blades, along with easier fine-tuning of blade adjustment by operator.
  • Easy to Steel Blade: The proximity of built-in steeling device button to handpiece makes steeling faster and easier.

  How it Works:
The TrimVac is used to dislodge, cut and vacuum away the spinal cord and sheath. Pneumatically powered, the TrimVac uses a rotating blade to provide the cutting action, while a highly effective vacuum system removes the tissue.
  • Delivers a clean spinal canal
  • Effectively removes spinal cord, sheath and other debris in spinal canal.
  • Improves work area hygiene.
  • Reduces contamination potential.
  • Assists in control of labor costs.
  • Easy to use and maintain.
  • Minimal investment - TrimVac may work with your existing vacuum system.
  • Helps meet customer and regulatory requirements.
  • Preferred method of spinal cord removal in Europe.

  • Small, medium and large handle sizes and left and right handles help to increase worker grip and comfort by offering a tool that closely fits the size of their hand
  • Vibration dampening wrap to offer a more secure grip with less muscle stress. Thermal insulating properties to insulate worker's hand from the cold.
  • Adjustable thumb rest which places the thumb in a neutral position to improve leverage and provide better hand-eye coordination.
  • Asymmetrical lobe shape supports the natural contour of the hand.
  • Quick release feature automatically stops the rotating blade when the operator releases the lever.
  • Angled heads available for specialized trimmer applications. Angle reduces ulnar deviation by 15 degrees.

  • New! QuickStart Valve Assembly: A new, optional QuickStart valve has been released for AirMax Trimmers that allows for one-handed starting of the tool. This option was developed for applications that require workers to frequently start and stop the trimmer.
  • Quick Connections: AirMax trimmers feature a bayonet connection for faster changeovers and easier cleaning and maintenance.
  • Up to 48% More Power: New high-performance air motor delivers more speed and torque. Less effort is required for every application load.
  • Ergonomically Designed: AirMax is up to 19% lighter weight than previous pneumatic trimmers. The contoured handle is designed to reduce grip force and tool turning in the hand. Insulating material absorbs vibration and keeps hands warmer.
  • Swivel Connection: Allows the trimmer to rotate independently of the air hose, greatly reducing wrist load during operation.
  • Simple Design: Many parts are interchangeable with Series II trimmers. The unique cartridge style motor makes for quick removal and installation. Closed bearings retain grease improving performance and service life. Fixed position, hardened spindle pins increase performance life of air motor.
  • Simplified Maintenance: Fewer pats than previous models to speed up service and reduce parts inventory. Captive mounting screws are part of the frame assembly so they can't fall out. Trimmer is easily separated from air hose to save time and storage space. Built-in steeling device precisely steels the inside blade edge with the push of a button (select models only).

  • 5,000 rpm output increases the blade speed of Whizard trimmers and therefore produces more efficient cutting, and reduces operator fatigue.
  • Constant torque level - even under load - makes cutting difficult products faster and easier.
  • Works with all existing handpieces, flex shafts and casings.
  • Reliable, washdown AC induction motor means added durability and dependable performance.
  • Mechanical drive system simplifies maintenance.
  • Interlocked safety hanger - motor cannot be started while trimmer is resting in hanger.

  Microprocessor-controlled high precision grinding dramatically increases blade life.
  • Optimum sharpness achieved with minimum grinding.
  • Advanced self-sharpening wheel never needs dressing, and easily outlasts other grinding wheels.
  • The number of sharpenings per blade is maximized.

Eliminate traditional kniferoom variability, so every blade is sharpened correctly ... every time.

  • Advanced collet design holds blades in exact position for sharpening.
  • Automatic process using easy set-up guide eliminates guesswork and mistakes.
  • Microprocessor feedback assures uniform sharpness.

Simple, automatic operation significantly improves knife-room productivity.

  • Quick and easy to operate. Just load the blade, position the grinding motor and steeling device and hit the run button.
  • Reduced time to sharpen every single blade: easy set-up (one blade holder/one steeling device), easy to locate (set position), easy to install and remove blades.
