Meat Mixer
-
I use Walton’s white oil. When I oil the gasket and gears on my stuffer I just put a little in my 20 lb mixer and rub it all over. Works really well.

I have a 20lb hand mixer and when I’m mixing pork the pork sticks to the sides like crazy. Any suggestions on how to eliminate this problem?
capt jack A little bit of food grade lubricant definitely does help (mineral oil, silicone spray, etc.). Cold meat helps, as does changing the direction you are mixing. I’ve also found that the fuller you get the mixer, the more anything that sticks to the sides gets pulled back in. If nothing else, there’s scraping.

capt jack Dave R has a good recommendation with keeping it cold but, I find that this Plastic Hamburger Paddle is the best mixing assistant possible. I use it to push things off the sides and I use it to transfer into and out of the mixer!
Jonathon Do you have any more information on the new mixer on the horizon? Did you ever find the minimum meat block for it?
-
YooperDog I can reliably say it will do 12.5 lb but it does require a little more work. You have to stop it every few minutes and scrape the meat off the walls/bottom to get it to mix well. it is still much better than having to do it by hand in my mind though! Gonna try a 10 lb batch here soon but I just don’t think it is going to work, the chamber is just a little too big for 10 lb to be reliably mixed.

Jonathon Thanks!!! I appreciate the information. I guess I will need to keep my production to 12.5# or greater, darn. Any words on availability/time frame for the mixer and pen thermometer?
-
YooperDog The mixer should be soon, we will find out this week when and the pen thermometer still thinking end of this month!

How’s it going people? I bought one of those 50 lb. mixers they just received. The one I received looks like its second hand. The powder coat or the coating that is on it is all scratched up because whoever shipped it back didn’t put the bubble wrap back on the paddle and its been bouncing around in it. It also looks like whoever used it didn’t wash it very well because it looks like there’s mold or old grease left in it. Did any of ya’ll have anything like this with mixers that was purchased recently? I will try and get a hold of someone at Walton’s Monday to see if they will help me with it. Also It doesn’t look like a 50 lb. mixer. I put my 20 lb. next to it and its not much bigger. I was just wondering if anybody else had problems with recent buys. Thank You Jason

@jason-neucere These are brand new units, there shouldn’t be anything that was a return. Can you email me your order# and pics to podcast@waltonsinc.com so I can try to figure out what happened?

Jonathon I have no way to take pictures and send them to you. If I had a way to take pictures I don’t know how to send pictures. I graduated in 1981 and back then they didn’t have computers. The little bit I know about computers I learned on my own. I haven’t figured out pictures yet. I don’t even have a smart phone. I’m a 57 year old disabled mechanic with very little personal computer experience. So I don’t know where we take this from here.

@jason-neucere Hang tight, I am going to unbox a new one tomorrow and I will take pics and post them here. You can then look at them and tell me if yours looked like this one.

That last one is afterni cleaned it, any meat processing equipment (including lugs and knives) should be well cleaned before it’s first use. Let me know if that’s not what yours looked like, if it is then that’s what it should look like and do a basic initial clean

Jonathon The one I received was not wrapped in plastic. The plastic bag was in the bottom of the box loose. The paddle was loose, unwrapped, and bouncing around inside during shipping. The one you show is in better shape than the one I have. Is the meat tank bead blasted or dement {I hope I spelled that right} coated? I am familiar with marine and industrial dement coating and don’t believe that is food safe. I wouldn’t want to end up growing an extra eye or ear in a couple of years. I would have to change my name to Triclops or something else. I will try washing the unit and see if I can get mine to look as good as yours, but I don’t think it will come out as nice as yours. The unit is what I’ve been looking for with the tilting tank and being able to hook up to my Weston #22 grinder motor I bought from ya’ll. I will let you know what I come up with after I wash it and hope to get all the oil and grease spots out of it. I have a 20 lb. mixer and didn’t look like this one out the box. I will let you know what I come up with. Thank You Jason

@jason-neucere I’m going to have someone in our customer service department contact you for a replacement. We will send a shipping label for that one and send a new one. If you haven’t already done it please don’t clean or make any other adjustments to this one, I want to see it as close to how you got it as possible.
-
And I appologize, these are new units so I have no clue how you got one in this condition. The one I took out of stock for and sent as a prize for a livestream winner and the one I checked for this post were both in perfect condition.
-
OK I will look at the next one and hope its in good shape. Are these units bead blasted or dement coated. If they are dement coated, are food safe? I’m familiar with industrial and marine dement coating and don’t believe that process is food safe. Could you let me know? Thank You Jason

Well I survived Hurricane Zeta’s 114 mph winds. I was just checking in to see if ya’ll received the mixer that was shipped back. I tried to wrap the paddle part in newspaper but I didn’t have enough to due the job, so I just put it in the tank and packed as best I could. I hope to hear back soon. We are starting to get cooler weather here and my brother has 11 pigs and we want to kill a few pretty soon and I will need that mixer. I have a 20 lb. and I don’t want to be tag teaming on the crank on the mixer. I ordered the 50 lb. to us the motor on my #22 grinder I bought from ya’ll a while back. I had my shoulder rebuilt last February and I really don’t want to give it that much of a workout, its doing really good right now and I would hate to mess it up. Thank You Jason
