The handheld pneumatic scraper (also known as pneumatic scraping knife, dehairing tool, or pneumatic hair remover) is a specialized hand-held tool used in pig slaughtering processing for manual assistance in removing residual hair. It is typically installed at the workstation after the dehairing machine and before singeing or trimming. It utilizes compressed air to drive the blade in reciprocating motion, quickly scraping off fine residual hair, hair roots, and cuticle layers that the dehairing machine fails to remove.
This equipment is particularly suitable for hard-to-reach areas such as pig heads, pig trotters, pig tails, and abdominal folds where dehairing machines cannot effectively operate. It serves as a key auxiliary tool for improving carcass surface smoothness.
