Hooking Walton's 50 lb mixer to Weson 22 Pro Series
-
The 50 lb mixer I have, anything smaller than like a 15 lb batch makes it somewhat difficult, I’d like to get a 20 lb mixer as well so I can have one for just about any size batch that I’d worry about needing a mixer… for small 5 lb batches, I just always mix by hand (yes I know protein extraction makes your arms and hands pretty strong afrer a few of these even with such a small batch!)

Thanks for the feed back

Stella69 I was doing a 25 lb batch, and it worked great. Not sure how it would work on smaller batches, but I’d imagine that 5 or 10 would be too small.
Cleaning was difficult, as it’s too big for the sink. I ended up boiling some water and dumping it in with some soap, scrubbing and then dumping it out. Worked ok, and won’t be a big deal in the future, I just never factored sink size in until I was trying to clean it up!
Thanks for the response
I do some 25lb batches but mostly 15 since its just the wife and I.
Maybe i should look at smaller mixer like 30.Thanks AGAIN

Regarding the reverse feature. I can’t find the post but after buying the #22 butcher series I found there is a warning label on it saying not to run in reverse for more than five seconds. I asked Austin about this. After he contacted Weston they said their mixers a designed to run in forward only.
So… No reason to have the reverse feature. Actually have never used it.Knowing my grinder will not hook up to #50 mixer I’m now looking at the Walton’s #22.
Will just part ways with the existing equipment I have.

PapaSop i have a weston 22 butcher series grinder, and it works with waltons 50# mixer. Maybe we aren’t talking about the same pieces of equipment?

Interesting. Just going by pics. Didn’t look like it would match up. Thanks! -

Midwest_kc For equipment clean up, it’s hard to beat a hose with a spray nozzle connected to your hot water line.

The issue with mixer to grinder comparability is the difference in hub size not the shaft itself. The shaft in all are 3/4" x 6 spline. The hub where the two pieces meet and clamp together are different in about every brand. LEM is the only mixer that is smaller than 50lb and quite pricey. The smallest batch I have used in my 50lb cabelas mixer was 15lb and it worked fine.
-
So is the mixer compatible with or is there an adapter that hooks to the old cabelas #22 grinder?
-
No adapter that I have found. Your hub opening should measure 2.5" Please let me know if it does not. My #12 cabelas (non carnivore) is as well as my #22 carnivore.

Nothing can be easy, gonna have to apply some redneck ingenuity and fab a collar to work as a shim.

FatMac_1186 Refresh my memory please. Thats an old Cabelas grinder (Weston butcher series) and a Waltons 50lb mixer?

FatMac_1186 May work without a shim. Have you tried it? thats only 5/16" difference. Your bolt should make up that small difference…

FatMac_1186 You might be able to find a thin flexible cutting mat to cut into strips to wrap around for your shim if its too sloppy

Papa, are you saying your #22 Weston butcher series wont hook up to your #44 Weston mixer?? This PVC collar may be the answer to your 50lb mixer problem.
As much as I like my old cabelas (Weston Butcher) #12 I would never get rid of that #22! -
Good job, that should last for quite a while!

I wish I had the knowhow to do this. I would pay for this solution for my Weston Pro Series #22

Midwest_kc He used regular 2" pvc, cut to length, cut a notch, cut a groove. You could use either a hacksaw or coping saw for this task.
