Problem with stuffing sticks
-
First time posts so bear with me.
I have an LEM 11 lb. stuffer which has worked well for 15years. My only complaint
is it came with a 5/8” stuffing tube which doesn’t allow me to slide the 21mm casings
on. I have to feed it onto the tube. I had a new piston gasket and purchased the Walton’s
13mm tube. When stuffing sticks the meat blows past the piston gasket. I reached
out to LEM and they were no help. So I thought about purchasing a new stuffer.
I was on the Walton’s web site looking at the 11-pound stuffer and noticed it came with a
13mm tube so I called to speak to a product specialist to see if they had any problems
with the meat blowing by the piston gasket. Unfortunately they do not and suggested
I reach out to the Meatgistics community for answers. So does anyone use this
stuffer or had this problem stuffing stick? I don’t mind purchasing a new stuffer if
it solves the problem. ThanksEd Paone one of the blow by problems discussed here was the gasket installed upside down should have the open (lip) side down.
Other than that, no experience with LEM -

My brother has the 15 lb LEM and we tried making sticks with it last year and had all kinds of blowby on the gasket. It was super hard to turn too. I did some reading and LEM says not to use the 15 lb for making sticks. I’m pretty sure they recommended the real small stuffers for making snack sticks.

ND Mike I originally had a 15lb. and sold it because of this issue and LEM recommended the 11 LB. Never had troubles with the 5/8" tube.

ND Mike said in Problem with stuffing sticks:
Ed Paone I can tell you that the 11 lb from Walton’s is an amazing stuffer. I’d like to know how many lbs of sticks Jonathon has made with an 11 lb stuffer.
Not sure Jonathon can count that high.

Just spoke with LEM today and they said the wide part of the tapered gasket goes down and the narrow taper up. I don’t know why they didn’t tell me this yesterday. Seems totally backwards however
I’ll give it a try on the next 50 LBS I have to due. If it doesn’t work I’ll be ordering the Walton’s 11 pound stuffer. Thanks for all the input this is a great community to belong to. -

Next is on your process, you have specified on learning the correct position of the piston seal so that should help. As far as your batch what does your meat block consist of, such as proteins percentages, weight and distilled water amounts? Welcome to the community, the fun has only begun for you.
