Know before you buy
The .75 HP motor is capable of grinding approximately 11 pounds of meat per minute. This makes it well-suited for large batches of beef, pork, or wild game.
No, the grinder features an offset throat and a rifled headstock design that pulls meat into the auger more efficiently than standard grinders. This significantly reduces the need for constant stomping.
The grinder is constructed from stainless steel, which is durable and resists corrosion. All food-contact parts, including the head, auger, plates, and knife, are designed for straightforward disassembly and cleaning.
Yes, the unit comes with multiple stuffing tubes specifically for sausage making. The rifled head design helps maintain consistent pressure, which improves the stuffing process compared to traditional grinders.
The Big Bite technology uses an extended auger design that grabs larger chunks of meat and moves them through the head faster. This results in a cleaner, more efficient grind that prevents the meat from being mashed or heated during processing.
The motor is permanently lubricated with an improved grease formulation specifically designed to reduce noise. While it is a powerful 550-watt motor, it operates more quietly than many standard home grinders.
