BIRMINGHAM, OH, November 15, 2010 (Press-News.org) Bettcher Industries announce the availability of the Advanced Ergonomic Benefits of Pneumatic Scissors white paper for the poultry industry. The white paper is organized with the following characteristics of Pneumatic Scissors including: Function like manual scissors, Incorporate sound ergonomic principles ( weight, pressure points, and surface contact), Reduce physical demands (Muscle Activity and Peak Grip Strength), Improve efficiency, and Improve psychophysical interaction to the job. The Free White paper can be downloaded from http://bettcher.com/pneumatic-scissors-white-paper
While a certain amount of automation within the poultry industry has been reached, there will always be an interaction between the product, individual, and tools.
Therefore, hand tools, individuals, and the work place environment pose an ergonomic challenge. The hand tool that is predominantly used in the poultry industry is scissors (poultry shears). High forces, repetition, and other risk factors associated with hand tools have contributed to the high incident rate of cumulative trauma disorders in the poultry industry. To address this situation, an engineering solution was developed to replace standard scissors, reduce risk factors associated with CTDs, and improve workers' efficiency and product quality.
Pneumatic scissors allows the worker to perform a task in less time while reducing the amount of physical exertion. Spending less effort on portions of the total job and reducing the amount of time to do them is a "win-win" situation for everyone.
Pneumatic scissors are also highly effective for repetitive cutting activities involving non-food items such as upholstery, wire mesh, rubber, Kevlar and similar engineered fabrics.
