Airshirz Pneumatic Scissors Now Feature Extra-Large Air Cylinder For 24% Greater Cutting Strength


Birmingham, Oh., February 27, 2002 - Airshirz® Pneumatic Scissors from Bettcher Industries increase worker productivity while reducing muscle fatigue. And now, these scissors sport additional performance-enhancing design features, including an extra-large air cylinder providing 24% greater cutting strength than before.

Lightweight yet powerful, Airshirz® Pneumatic Scissors provide clean, accurate cutting, snipping and trimming of aluminum and other metals, fiberglass and other composite materials, cardboard and bulk paper, rubber, fabrics, wire and cable, plus many other materials. You have less waste while producing a better cut. Yet these air-powered scissors require approximately 90% less muscle activity to operate, and achieve up to 127% greater worker productivity over manual scissors.

All Airshirz® Pneumatic Scissors units utilize standard 80 to 120 psi plant air, and are available in two grip designs: a two-finger grip for smaller hands, and a larger finger loop style. Both designs include an automatic spring-return action, so no effort is required to open the blades. Moreover, the pneumatic design gives users complete control over the cutting action. This helps guard against accidents or an inadvertent cut. A safety latch secures blades in a locked position to protect workers and prevent damage when scissors are not in use.

With Airshirz® Pneumatic Scissors, major improvements in reducing muscle fatigue - along with worker exposure to a number of significant risk factors associated with cumulative trauma disorders - can be achieved. Plant managers who are looking for improved employee welfare and lower turnover, in addition to increased worker productivity, will find these scissors to be a strong new ally.

Airshirz® Pneumatic Scissors utilize stainless steel blades, with multiple configurations available for cutting a wide variety of products and materials. The blades can be removed in seconds, and sharpened using conventional sharpening equipment including the Bettcher EdgeKing® Precision Sharpener.
