Increased Productivity & Yields ®

Whizard Series II Trimmers are the industry standard for tools from Bettcher, the trimming technology pioneer. Series II Trimmers provide distinct, measurable productivity improvements for meat and poultry processors the world over.

Light and Maneuverable – 20% lighter tools improve operator performance and comfort. Plus, ® with the addition of DuraLite casings, workers enjoy reduced fatigue, further increasing their productivity.

Just the Right Tool – Series II offers more sizes, blades and motor options than ever for more precise trimming and operational flexibility.

Matching the right tool for the right job increases productivity and yields.

UltraDrive™ Power for Any Application – The UltraDrive High-Speed Motor delivers more than 5,000 rpm of constant torque, even under load.

UltraDrive motors provide faster, more efficient cutting along with reduced operator fatigue, allowing workers to focus on maximizing their product yields.

Combined with the use of serrated blades, the UltraDrive High-Speed Motor can reduce the cutting force by 40% over standard configurations.

Yield-Maximizing Depth Gauges – A choice of depth gauges is available, contributing to maximum product yields, and allowing operators to work faster and more consistently.

Depth gauges also make highly effective aids for training operators in new trimming applications.

Better Performance & Maintenance The ingenious design details of Series II Trimmers deliver smooth performance and rugged durability, ease of service, and low maintenance costs.

Reduced Parts Inventory – The Series II trimmer is designed with fewer parts to reduce maintenance time and minimize parts inventories.

Significant Weight Reduction – Advanced materials and fewer parts make this the lightest trimmer we’ve ever produced. 20% lighter weight creates improved tool balance and reduces the effort required to hold the trimmer.

User-Friendly Frame Assembly – Innovative frame design speeds reassembly, blade changes and adjustments.

Quick-Change Bearing – New laborsaving bearing design slips in and out, with no tools required. One bearing fits all Series II Trimmers.

Solid Performance – The enhanced gear mesh design facilitates smoother blade operation and enhanced parts life.

Smooth Operation – An enhanced blade/housing interface reduces “chatter” and heat, thereby decreasing vibration and lowering operating temperatures for improved worker comfort and extended parts life.

Simplified Training – The entire line of Series II Trimmers shares common design elements.

Assembly and adjustment procedures are similar for all models, shortening training time and skill requirements.

Captive mounting screws are part of the frame assembly so they can’t fall out. This design speeds reassembly and prevents lost screws.

Advanced Ergonomics & Safety Fitting the tool to the worker...

To make them truly ergonomic for all workers, Series II Trimmers are offered in five interchangeable handle sizes. Plus, they can be set up for either left-handed or right-handed operation … with an adjustable thumb support … with flanged or flangeless handles. There’s even a post handle kit available for larger models.

Special safety features designed into Series II Trimmers include: Ergonomic Handles – Specially contoured handles and textured handgrips reduce grip force and improve overall grip. All Series II handles are ambidextrous and designed to fit a wide range of hand sizes. There’s even an adjustable thumb support for maximum comfort and control.

Safety Disconnect Handle – Instantly stopping the trimmer whenever an operator's hand grip is released, this feature contributes to worker safety.

MicroBreak Hand Strap – Supporting the hand during production use, this strap allows operators to relax their fingers between work cycles while still maintaining control of the trimmer. This beneficial feature can reduce risks associated with hand stress.

Built-in Steeling Device – Available on select models, this feature not only promotes safety during the on-line sharpening process, it also improves cutting performance by preventing rolled blade edges.

Vibration-Absorbing Handle – Series II handles are made with a vibration-absorbing material to provide additional comfort and keep hands warmer than metal handles. Bidirectional grip design improves tool handling by adding “traction” for your hand.

(select models only)

An instant stop quick-disconnect handle is available on all models.

An optional post handle attachment provides additional control for applications that require lateral movements performed for extensive periods of time.

A flanged handle (top middle) works well for most general applications. The flangeless handles provide additional range of motion when trimming on conveyors or tables with a raised edge.

Most Whizard速 Trimmer models are available with a range of depth gauge designs for optimal control of trimming thickness.

Electric or Pneumatic – Series II Power Now, the productive power of Whizard® Series II Trimmers is also available in a pneumatic tool.

The AirMax Mach 3 Trimmers provide the next step in air-powered performance, ergonomics and ease of maintenance. The Innovative new design delivers: + Up to 48% more power. + Up to 15% lighter weight. + Contoured, vibration-absorbing handles for maximum operator comfort. +

Interchangeability of most parts between Series II electric and AirMax Trimmer models for simplified maintenance and reduced parts inventory.

Edge Management Some applications can dull a blade quickly. Likewise, the costs of a dull blade can add up quickly: + Increased operator effort to trim + Increased stress on wrist and forearm + Diminished product appearance + Lower productivity and yields + More frequent blade changes, even during the same shift Serrated blades improve cutting for cold or heavy fat cover.

Whizard Trimmer Maintenance Overview

Flex Shaft & Casing Maintenance Proper flex shaft and casing maintenance is critical to good trimmer performance and parts life. These critical parts lubricated before first use and cleaned and re-lubricated after every 20 hours of use.

Clean flex shaft with a clean cloth.

Clean and Inspect Flex Shafts  Remove the flex shaft from casing and wipe with a clean cloth.  Inspect the flex shaft for wear, broken wires, kinks, or corrosion.

Also inspect the ferrule for wear.

Note: Broken flex shaft wires will lead to flex shaft and casing failure.

Gel Method

#

WhiZLube Heavy Duty Lubricant (Part 185548) 



Place a quarter size portion of WhiZLube in the palm of your hand. Apply an even coating of the lubricant along the entire length of the flex shaft.

Reassemble the shafts into the casings.

WhiZLube Aerosol (Part #173519) Lay a group of flex shafts on a covered surface and generously spray them lengthwise. Be sure to turn the flex shafts to ensure total coverage.  If lubricating only one, an alternate method is to hold the casing with one hand and spray the flex shaft while it is being inserted into the casing. 

For Maximum Flex Shaft and Casing Performance     

Clean and lubricate after every 20 hours of operation.

Do not use flex shaft washers.

Proper Housing Adjustments

Image 1.

The correct blade housing adjustment is critical for proper trimmer operation. If the housing is too tight the trimmer may overheat. The motor-driven flex shaft and casing may be damaged, and parts life will be reduced. If the housing is adjusted too loose, it may cause rough operation and gear damage.

Here's a procedure to help you get it right: Tighten Blade Housing: Begin by threading both screws in the pinion cover. Then tighten the right cover screw. Next, secure the left cover screw— then loosen the left screw a half turn to allow for blade and housing adjustment.

Blade Adjustment: Gently pry the housing open (see Image 1) until the blade has a slight amount of side clearance in the housing in the direction of the arrow shown in Image 2 and the blade rotates freely. A slight amount of clearance is all that is needed. Finally, tighten both cover screws to the recommended torque and recheck the blade clearance and rotation.

Loosen Blade Housing

Right

Left

With the left screw loosened, gently pry the housing open if the blade is not moving freely.

Image 2.

Check blade for clearance and rotation.

Recommended Torque: 30 - 35 lb. in. (3,4 - 4,0 N-m) Important: Make sure the blade is free to move in the housing. If the blade does not move freely, it may cause the trimmer to perform poorly or overheat.

The blade should turn freely with a slight amount of clearance in the direction shown by the arrow.

Torque Limiting T-Handle: A Key Part of Your Toolkit

Begin by making sure the cover is tightened securely … that is, the cover retaining screws are tightened properly (very tight).

Torque Wrench Kit Part #183900

Begin with a properly tightened cover using the Bettcher Torque Limiter 30 - 35 lb. in (3,4 - 4,0 N-m)

The “best practice” to secure the pinon cover and housing is to use a torque limiting T-handle tool (Bettcher Part #183898) to secure the housing quickly and properly.

The cost of a T-handle torque limiter is about the same as a new pinion cover, so it makes sense to invest in this tool to ensure all Trimmer parts are properly assembled for maximum life and performance.

Additionally, many maintenance pros find that using the T-handle torque limiter is faster, easier and more precise than using a straight blade screwdriver.

Part # 183900 183898 183899 183901 183902

Description Kit 183900 Torque wrench Socket ¼” 6 pt Socket 5/16” 6 pt Extension ¼” x 3” long

Apply gentle pressure, if the housing moves, the cover is worn.

Using a straight-blade screwdriver, slowly apply pressure to the housing. If the housing moves easily without much pressure, the cover is worn. It should be replaced, as it can no longer secure the blade and housing and may become a safety issue in addition to running rough.

Preventing Cover Damage

!

If the blade housing does not move easily unless a lot of pressure is applied, then the cover is still good and has useful life.

That's all there is to it! By using this simple test, you should improve Trimmer performance and lower maintenance costs.

Loosen First

TRIM VAC

Clean, Fast, and Effective In the evolving science and regulation surrounding the removal of the beef spinal cord, Bettcher Industries brings an innovative solution to this challenging and labor-intensive job. 速

The new Whizard TrimVac provides the quickest and cleanest method for removing beef spinal canal tissue.

TrimVac marries patented Whizard Trimmer technology with a powerful vacuum system to provide efficient removal of spinal cord and sheath. Operators now have a fast and effective method to trim and vacuum away spinal canal tissue that reduces worker exposure and the potential for cross contamination.

Preferred Method The TrimVac has quickly become the preferred method of spinal cord removal in European beef processing plants.

In addition to its effective performance, TrimVac helps control labor costs associated with spinal canal cleaning, while making it easier for plants to meet customer and regulatory requirements.

The TrimVac cuts and vacuums away debris in the spinal canal.

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. Material is conveyed so spinal cords do not come into contact with the carcass, workers or floor, the work area has less opportunity for contamination and the process is simplified.

TrimVac Technology Internal Defatting - Trim and Transport Reduce Labor • Increase Product Value ®

Whizard TrimVac technology also provides a labor-saving way to trim and convey internal fat, creating higher value.

TrimVac 45AMX

A larger 45 mm diameter blade combined with a strong vacuum are used to draw, trim and transport internal fat.

Since the fat is vacuum-conveyed directly to a holding tank, handling is reduced and the pristine product may be sold for a higher value. In fact, internal defatting done with the TrimVac reduces hand trimming in the further processing areas saving time and money.

Many other applications are possible with the new Whizard TrimVac. Let our Yield Specialist work with you to develop new, value-added processes.

Invest in Edge Management EdgeKing™ – The Industries Only Industrial Scissor Sharpener If consistently sharp blades are one key to better product yield and productivity, then sharpening them faster and easier has to be another. When you invest in an EdgeKing blade sharpener you enjoy benefits like these:

+ Sharp blades are critical to productivity. No other sharpener delivers faster, more consistent or more accurate performance than the EdgeKing from Bettcher Industries. + Time saving - Exclusive, patented design allows blades to be clamped just once to grind, steel and buff the entire blade edge saving valuable time and labor. + Longer Wheel Life - Conventional stone grinding wheels get ground away with usage, so blade angles are constantly changing. Long life Cubic Borazon Nitride (CBN) coated steel grinding wheel is not ground away with usage and eliminates the need for wheel dressing. + Increase Scissor Life - The EdgeKing’s blade guide and clamping system prevents errors and insures consistent grinding angles. Since blades are sharpened at the same angle every time, less blade material is removed for longer scissor life. + Industrial-Duty Construction - EdgeKing sharpeners feature a durable industrial-duty capacitor start motor with lifetime lubricated and sealed ball bearings that won’t bog down under normal load conditions or burn out even with repeated overloading. + Vented Wheel Guards - Designed for easy attachment to dust collection systems for a cleaner work area.

Sharpen with more precision and consistency in less time with the EdgeKing.

With the patented, rotating blade clamping system blades are clamped just once to grind, steel and buff the entire blade edge.
