<![CDATA[Walton's Meat Mixer?]]>I know you guys are working on some new Walton’s grinders, but are there plans for offering any new meat mixers? I see that LEM has redesigned there mixers and they look a lot better than the old LEM and Westin models that have been out there for many years.

My 10+ year-old grinder and mixer are both going to be needing to be replaced in the next couple of years, so I am just wondering if Walton’s will be offering anything new for the home use market?

However I can’t guarantee it. Our Mixers are on their way and should be here soon.

Just takes a little more work on your part to learn and develop the art of how to make sausage from scratch. Send me an email and ill give you a few
web links.

I tell her that’s not the point. She usually rolls her eyes.
You should see the look on her face when another Waltons box shows up at the door!

More consequences than talking bad about his wife!!😊

Agreed bigger is not better but if I want to do bigger batches in the future, the 50lber would be nice. I will keep the 20lb to do smaller batches if I can get the gearbox thing to work. Can NEVER have too much sausage equipment!

Just curious, if your hand crank 20 handles your needs why would you need a 50 power driven? Sometimes bigger is not better.

Don’t know Bubba. The 50lb mixer is a monster. Do you make 30-50lb batches? That’s a lot of meat. i can only handle a 20-25 a batch. I worry about refrigeration and working space. Cleanup is another factor. If i am making 200 sausages, for me 2 20lb batches are easer to handle. Of course i work by my self. With a machine shop you could use a motor and pully reducer if space is not an issue.

I usually make small batches. 10-20lb max. I wish someone would make a 25lb tilting that would couple to a carnivire grinder! I love my LEM 20lb manual but cranking that thing with bad shoulders is becoming too much. I ordered a gearbox online today for cheap. Will see what it will take to adapt it to the grinder/mixer.

I guess I’m a little passionate ref sausage making. Again this is just one man’s opine. You’re very kind with your thoughts. But I’ll restate most sausages are salt, pepper and the predominate spice or 2 of their region. Egg white is just a natural binder, and water is used to make stuffing easer. Joe

Check any old sausage recipe… Brats (all 20 different kinds) Most are 4 or 5 seasoning, normally dictated by their geographic location, and the spice is normally what is in there local. It is the predominate signature of that sausage. I do natural w/ cure #1. That’s why i make my own sausage… Too much crap in the store bought. Don’t get me wrong I’m not knocking the premix, i do mine with the basics… Compound my own. As sausage was originally made. Has to be egg whites, I use it in most of my sausages. Just one man’s opine Thanks for asking Tex.

Done it many times before. just like i can say that my 25# stuffer is better with 20#. I guess i don’t consider my 25# mixed batch small. As i said before 2 pork butts and water… Never in 30 years had a problem. I will say this: i blend my water (1oz per kg)/ 2lbs of cheese / 1 egg white per kg and seasoning in water then add as it’s mixing, it dissipates better. Correction: the frozen cheese is added last by itself if used. Every man selects his tools of choice. This is just my opine. So be it.😊

Per Austin if you are adding in cheese to that you will be over 25# so you’d really need a 50# mixer. If you’re making small batches, the 20# will probably get you by, but myself personally when I get a mixer, it will be a 50# mixer.

I may fab up a gearbox for my 20lb lem if I can’t get a 50lb tilt mixer.

Mine it is powered by their grinder, and it also comes with a handle, fits 3/4 hp and up (LEM). This is the tilt tub model. Gosh they got really expensive. I bought mine when LEM was jus starting. Wonder if you could retro fit. I have the parts book, would that help. I’ve talked to LEM many time over the years. Truth is they are just a purveyor of China imports. They always have a 25% off sale a day or two before Christmas. Joe

I have read that LEM and Cabelas are not cross compatible. I have a LEM 20lb manual mixer but it was never meant to be powered by a grinder. No gearbox…yet

I worry that Cabeles my be out of business by the time i can convince my Wife that a new grinder is a life staple, and our life would be worthless without it 😊

I have a 1hp 12# LEM. (8 years) Works great with their mixer tilt tub , but reversing the mixer would be wonderful. Would never think about hand cranking.

You guys could really capitalize on cabelas incompetence if you determine that your new mixers will fit on a carnivore grinder. Many of us bought the cabelas grinder to have reverse for a mixer. Now cabelas are out of stock and rumor has it they will never be in stock again. Carnivore grinders have a female 3/4" 6 splined shaft.

Add your water and spices… Will make apx 100ea 4" links. For me that’s about 7hrs work. I work around the 25lb mark, making a variety of sausages /hamburgers & ropes . Any more than that is a refer / time issue during the processing. But i do compound my own seasonings.

Not sure on the 20, but I’d guess 5# to be on safe side.
