Walton's 50# mixer
-
mrobisr I am really thinking hard about the 20 pounder. 50 pounds is a lot of meat for one batch.
calldoctoday I’d go with the 50 if I were you.
-
mrobisr That is indeed true.
calldoctoday I am also leaning towards a 50#. Not that I make many batches that large, but I am betting that the 20# and even the 50# aren’t really capable of mixing at their max capacity. My focus is on how small of a batch they can mix effectively. My small test batches I can handle by hand, but the regular size batches is where it would be useful.

YooperDog You all have me thinking it some more now. Granted, if I did the 20, I would have to mix it up a bit from two parts of the batch to make it work & that could be intimidating.

I just pulled the trigger on the 50# model, tilting canister and the ability to hook up to my grinder is just too convenient to pass up.

mrobisr Let us know what you think.

For visual reference, this is the 20 pound side by side with the 50 pound.

Looks solid.

Grimpuppy Thanks for that comparison. I didn’t realize there was that much difference. The 50# could be a storage issue for me.

Does the time/effort you save mixing get negated by extra time cleaning? I guess I have not had a huge issue hand mixing my 25lb batches and that 50lb mixer looks like it would suck to clean in my non-commercial kitchen. Not sure it would even fit in my double sink.

Jamieson22 When I have large processor equipment to clean, I use a mortar mixing tub on the counter, gives me more room to work as all I have is a standard kitchen sink also.

bocephus Actually a tub like that is something I could use for soaking my PK100 racks when needed. Last time I had them all in my utility sink but they only fit at an angle so needed to clean half then flip to soak other part.

Jamieson22 I use the tub for my smoker equipment also, they can be found at lowes or home depot, I have a few of them, use them for mixing cabbage and salt for kraut and mixing meat and seasonings they work well because they have a smooth bottom. I don’t think you would want to transport heavy weights with them as they are not very thick.

Hey guys, been a minute!!! Dropping in to order some steak spice and thought I’d see what’s going on in Meatgistis Land…
I’ve owned and destroyed ever size mixer know to man. Even had a welder reinforce some of the parts to no avail.
If you’re putting cure in the mix for ANYTHING you’re making just save your pennies, troll facebook marketplace and the auction site, find a closing grocery store or pizza joint and get a Hobart A120 mixer. They are designed for the stress of the restaurant business are are durable enough to last with knuckleheads like me running the snot out of them. Game changer for our entire operation.
Hope everyone is well, FL is great but not processing just feels wrong…

The canister comes off really easy apparently, so that might help with the storage since it would be 2 smaller and shorter pieces, just a thought.

Hopefully my shop sink will be enough to clean it, but I live in the south so I can take it outside and use a water hose if all else fails.

Grimpuppy Whew, there is no comparison. Amazing.

Jamieson22 Excellent point that I had thought about while wishing for the mixer & hoping I could do a better job with a mixer than by hand. Good point though & something I should still consider along with whether or not I will get that much better of a job & save that much time relative to mixing 25 pound batches.

Sometimes I find that larger equipment is actually easier to clean up because I can get my hands and arms into it plus I hate tiny cracks and digging stuff out of the corners and such. We shall see soon enough.
