I’m looking for a stuffer that would be the best for snack sticks. I will be using a 21mm casing. I understand the need to adjust fat and water to help make the stuffer work. We make about 300 pounds a year in 50 pound batches and about half is sticks. We broke two stuffers this year and had numerous gasket blowouts which drive me up the wall. The hydraulic are pretty much out of my price range, maybe I should say don’t want to spend that kind of money. I thought you guys would be a great resource. Thanks in advance.

One was the old antique cast-iron the break was the frame (heck of an explosion). We used that old one for a lot of years. The other was like a kitchener (?spelling) kind of a p.o.s. and it would just keep blowing gaskets. It was about a 20 pounder that worked great for the larger sausage.

Thanks I will check out the 11 pounder.

Thanks guys greatly appreciated. Pretty sure that’s what I’m going to do, just needed some extra encouragement.
