SECTION 3.0 Function
3.1 Machine Functions
The Whizard® Ultra Drive High Speed Motor has been designed to be used with
all electric driven Bettcher Whizard®Trimmers plus UN84 Quick Release Flex
Shafts and Casings. A custom belt drive and controller provides higher speed
which provides faster blade speed.
A vertical motor drives a flexible shaft. The flexible shaft drives a rotating blade
in the handpiece via a gear and pinion. The force to cut through meat and fats is
provided by the drive motor and no longer by the worker. Forces applied by the
worker are greatly reduced and limited to guiding the rotating knife blade. The
Whizard®Ultra Drive High Speed Motor provides a mechanical advantage for the
operator thus eliminating the need for manual tools such as knives and scissors.
An interlock feature in the hanger prevents turning on the motor while the
Trimmer is in the hanger. A spring loaded latch on the handpiece hanger prevents
the Trimmer from accidentally being knocked out of the hanger.
The motor will also shut off automatically when the Trimmer handpiece is placed
in the hanger.
