Scraper bell
The scraper bell or scraper bell , often also referred to as the butcher , butcher or bristle bell , is a tool that is used in meat production to scrape off the bristles and the top layer of skin from the rind of slaughtered pigs . Before scraping, the rind is doused with hot water and pre-scalded to make it easier to remove the bristles later.
The funnel-shaped scraper bells are made of galvanized or stainless steel and have a hook at the top. The circular lower edge of the "bell" is sharpened. The hook of the instrument is primarily used to pull off the horn parts (claws) of the pig's paws, and also to hang the tool on the butcher's belt loop .
In modern large slaughterhouses, bristling is done in ovens. The scraper bell is only used there for manual removal of bristles.
