SERRATED BLADES FOR WHIZARD® TRIMMERS CUT TOUGH JOBS DOWN TO SIZE

Birmingham, Oh., June, 2004 — Bettcher Industries introduces a new family of serrated blades for use with its Whizard® Series II trimmer product line. These serrated blades are engineered to provide more aggressive cutting action for trimming product more efficiently. The scientifically designed serrations feature recesses which protect portions of the cutting edge and help maintain sharpness.

Bettcher’s new serrated blades are the answer for difficult operations such as trimming heavy beef and pork fat – operations that have traditionally required the use of straight knives. In these and other applications, the serrated blades reduce the force required to trim cold and heavy fat cover, while improving both yield and product appearance.

Using the serrated blades in conjunction with Bettcher Industries’ powerful Ultra Drive™ high-speed motor – featuring 5,000 rpm output and constant torque level – can lessen stress on the operator by 30% or more, thereby reducing fatigue.
