<![CDATA[Meat Mixer]]>We do a LOT of sausage/hot dogs typically over 500# a year and we spend a lot of time mixing meat. We like the 50/50 pork/venison mix for pretty much everything. I’m looking for an efficient way to mix large batches. We’ve been through the 20#/44# mixers, we’ve torn them up…welded and reinforced the 44# paddle but when you have a 35# hydraulic stuffer it’s hard to keep up mixing. Sooooo… here’s the debate, meat mixer or I was thinking a 20 quart Hobart stand mixer with a paddle may work…lots’ of versatility and easy buy/sell…
Any thoughts on this one? Need to find a friend with a pizza shop that would let me do some testing!!!

I’m thinking either would run me about $1000 if I can find a used one and not pay for shipping.

Is there an ending to this story?

Nope. Around here things tend to go on forever. Just when you think a thread died someone comes along and asks a question…or adds a meaningless comment. 🙂

Years ago we picked up a 20 qt Hobart mixer, it makes life easier, cost was $200 at a auction and all the toys came with it!! We use the dough hook to mix all our meat, it holds 25 pounds which for us is perfect for our batches!! The Holbart was made in the 60’s and we have had it 20 years with no problems 😜😜

Been there, done that. Prayers for you and your neighbors to heal from this. What I do know from experience is that people facing such storms are particularly resilient and will always come back

My neighbor across the street has or had a tree in his back yard that was very old. The trunk was about four feet in diameter. I was watching out the front windows out on our screened in front porch when the eyewall of the storm got to us, shingles from all the houses were flying all over my neighborhood. The screen on my front porch was getting hit by the shingles tearing holes all over. We had Our roof covered by shingles rated for 130 mph so we lost only few shingles in two spots. We did that because we were tired of having to recover our roof to often. Every few years we would get hit by a storm we would half to recover the whole roof. Back to that hugh tree my neighbor had, It was swinging back and forth like it was a twig. It was one of tallest trees in the neighborhood. I used shoot birds out the top of it when I was a kid, I’m 57 yrs. old right now, so the tree was really old but not rotten or anything. As I watch it swinging back and forth nearly disappearing behind his house it swung real far all of a sudden and didn’t stop, it went down. Then about ten or fifthteen minutes later the wind died down,we were in the eye of the storm. The sun even came out for a few minutes. I went outside to see the damaged. That tree that went down, it broke at the trunk. It didn’t pull out the roots like most trees that fall over. The neighborhood was outside looking at the damage. The storm was on the 28th of last month. We still have people without power because of all the poles down. We were on generator power till Sunday night. Our cable and internet is still on generator power because where the grid is powered there is still no power, so sometime we lose cable and internet because the generator runs out of gas. Well lets get back to the mixer. I was going threw my emails last night, so I was checking to see if ya’ll had received the other mixer. Then further down my emails I came across the email from ya’ll that I should get a shipment tomorrow. So Thank you very much. Jason

Do you have your replacement yet? Let me know if not and I will make sure it is sent out asap. Glad you survived the 114 mph winds, thats insane!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Can you email me your order# and pics to podcast@waltonsinc.com so I can try to figure out what happened?

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

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?

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.
