Grinder comparison help

You do not need a 22 for what you do. I am a sausage maker for wild game in Colorado. I have used this grinder 8 years. It is not as quick on the second grind but gets the job done. I do more sausage then you do in a day. Take look at it. I like the big pan and the easy of tear down and cleaning.Pro-Cut #12 KG-12-FS Meat Grinder

s ByGrizz that model is very reminiscent of the old style Hobart that I ran 40 yrs. ago and the large tray on top is a big help for the speed of the process when you can dump a whole tub of meat and grind then change plates and grind again working in a cold room is so much faster.

Joe Hell what was your opinion of the #8 I just ordered one and had it sent to a nephew I raised, he hunts and likes to cook + he doesn’t know it is coming !

Buy the biggest head size you can afford, horsepower is largely irrelevant for home processing unless you want to grind frozen items. A #32 with a big feed pan and good technique will grind 50lbs of sausage in under ten minutes. I personally really like procut grinders for the value commercially, but spending $1500 on a hobby that you’re also going to have to get a special 220v plug wired for isn’t worth it for the majority of people.

sailfaster I agree sailfaster, but I think my grand kids(who help making sausage)will appreciate the better grinder. $600-700 is not the end of the world for something that will last many life times if taken care of. Here’s how I look at it, look at what u can afford n save to buy the next better one!

craigrice For me personally it was a game changer for home processing. I only have a Kitchen Aid grinder attachment to speak of prior. Back in August I took a professional job in the ‘meat industry’ and this little grinder quickly became the shop go-to for small jobs. I really put this thing to work prior to the shop and it performed well. We have since ‘abused’ it and it keeps on ticking. If you are into 10-15 lb batches at home it can’t be heat for the price. I played with a brand new #32 tonight at the shop today and was blown away. More info coming soon!!!

s ByGrizz What you say is absolutely true, we have done comparisons in grinding in the past and a #12 Pro-Cut will usually outperform a #22 Weston. They are awesome machines but they are a little more expensive than the #8 he was talking about but good point! Pro-cuts are designed with commercial places in mind and they stand up to it.

Njlungbuster hey,first off I’ve been grinding n making sausage for a long time. Started with my dad and his #10 hand grinder when I was about 13 I’m 62 now and this is what I think we use a #12 grinder and do 200-250# of venison a year plus I do 10-25# batches of sausage every couple of months. I’ve done 1000s of # though that grinder over the last 10 years I’ve had it. But I would go with a 22 because you don’t have to cut the meat so small-bigger throat less prep, not that much more money. My 2-cents
ziek You nailed it, a #12 is a great machine. I have the exact same story. Have had mine for 15 yrs. We grind 10 to 15 deer a year with our hunting party, and 3 0r 4 hogs. Im 65 and find myself with a little extra disposable income now, and I think im going to treat myself to a new grinder. And the winner is a #32. I know I wont be disappointed.

if you want to build it yours self I can post everything I bought from a industrial site. a True 1 H.P. motor and a 90 degree gear box to face the grinder. I bought a #32 hand grinder to attach to the gear box. It has bearings ( not plastic bushings ) on the hand crank in. But you remove the crank and attach a love joy coupler. Grinder / to gear box. I built it to the tune of $300. Out put is supposed to be 650 lbs per hour. Like you I do 15-25 lb batches. 3-4 minutes to grind it all.

go to you tube #32 meat grinder 1 hp motorLet me know if you need the material list

I upgraded to the Weston #22 and I’ve owned every size down from there… I have a #12 gander mtn 3/4hp in moth balls right now as my backup and it can’t hold a candle to the #22. Plus if you’re doing a small batch it does a great job stuffing off the 2nd grind. #teamorange
