An efficient air-cooled, 1-horsepower motor powers the precision-tooled, heat-tempered steel gears of Weston's rugged #22 meat grinder (model 09-2201-W). This supermarket-quality, 750 watt grinder just needs a regular 120V/60Hz electrical connection yet this grinder is sufficiently robust enough to grind up to 14 pounds of meat product each minute. This grinder can start work as soon as it's taken out of the carton, coming complete with two s/s grinder plates (coarse & medium) and an s/s chopper knife. The innovative design of the offset grinding head (patent pending) ensures efficient, consistent and rapid meat grinding, and if fibrous material stops up the grinder, there's a reverse gear to back your way out of snags. After processing, this Weston grinder easily comes apart for cleaning; there's an auger-grabbing tool included that will help disassemble the machine. This premium #22 grinder is made by Weston, a trusted, long established company that backs this item by means of an exceptional 5-year limited warranty. Throat measures 3.4" on tray opening (no guard) and 2" on the down-tube.
