    Reassembled the bowl drive today. Filled up the oil in the bowl drive gear box. No leaks after putting in the new shaft seal and running well. Set the belt tension and alignment. Set the chopper knife clearance with the bowl.
    Ready to do some test grinds and chopper runs. šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

      I hope to find out soon. My old chopper had a 14 inch bowl. This one is 18 inches.

      I found that for best results I had to keep the 14 inch chopper bowl at less than it’s physical capacity of meat or it would slow down and not give a good emulsion. The sweet spot was a little over 2 lbs so for large sausage batches it would take multiple chopper batch runs.

      The specified capacity is just the volume of the bowl. That doesn’t tell you very much about the actual capacity since that depends on what it is you are chopping. You can probably chop a lot more cabbage than you can ground pork butts, if you see what I mean.

        My wife needed some ground fresh pork today to make wontons for soup so I used that for an excuse to try out the new grinder/ chopper. Although the grinder is the same size No.12 head as my old one, it now has about three times the horsepower driving it and seems to run at higher RPM.
        I ran about 3 lbs of semifrozen pork through a 3/16 plate and was done in about a minute.
        I set aside a 1 lb of the ground pork for my wife’s project and put the remaining 2 lbs in the bowl chopper with some water and a small amount of left over breakfast sausage season I had on hand.
        I ran the chopper about 5 minutes, adding a small amount of additional water. It did a great job of emulsifying all the ingredients and would work equally well for bologna or fine ground wieners . I will have to do another test run to see what the maximum batch size will be. The two lbs of meat came nowhere close to the capacity of the bowl.

            processhead wow that thing looks nice. You’re probably switching gears now, from brat styles to thinking about all sorts of bologna!
            I think I’d be making a lot of all beef frankfurters if I owned that!

                            My wife needed some ground fresh pork today to make wontons for soup so I used that for an excuse to try out the new grinder/ chopper. Although the grinder is the same size No.12 head as my old one, it now has about three times the horsepower driving it and seems to run at higher RPM.
                            I ran about 3 lbs of semifrozen pork through a 3/16 plate and was done in about a minute.
                            I set aside a 1 lb of the ground pork for my wife’s project and put the remaining 2 lbs in the bowl chopper with some water and a small amount of left over breakfast sausage season I had on hand.
                            I ran the chopper about 5 minutes, adding a small amount of additional water. It did a great job of emulsifying all the ingredients and would work equally well for bologna or fine ground wieners . I will have to do another test run to see what the maximum batch size will be. The two lbs of meat came nowhere close to the capacity of the bowl.

                                      I can make the video. Not quite sure about posting it for others to view, though? I don’t have a youtube account. Maybe I could save the video to one drive and post a link to it?
