Bettcher introduces new poultry processing equipment

Bettcher Industries is introducing Whizard Series II Trimmers, designed for poultry applications to transform traditional bone-in whole leg quarters into high margin, boneless dark meat portions ready for stuffing or further processing.

The tool creates an efficient method for optimising profits on an otherwise basic, low-margin product, said Bettcher.

Whizard Series II Trimmers ensures a swift and effective whole leg deboning process. The trimmer blade can be used to expose the thigh and leg bones, and trims awaus the meat as one piece with or without skin.

Each dark meat portion is then ready for use in a variety of high-margin products.

The tool can help finish the entire deboning process in seconds, said the company.

The Whizard Series II Trimmer line from Bettcher incorporates new, patented design elements to enhance operator productivity, safety and comfort in the deboning procedure. An enhanced gear mesh design contributes to smoother blade operation, while better proximity to the built-in steeling device button makes the blade-steeling operation quicker and more comfortable.

Series II Trimmer handpieces feature a contoured handle to reduce grip force and torque momentum. Operators can also choose from five handle sizes, which are easily interchangeable.
