The method for removing these components has already been described (refer to Grinder Attachment, page 7). The mixing arm seal and the worm seal (Fig. 6) should be removed by hand for cleaning. Grasp the outer flange or use a dull screwdriver to pry the seal loose.

The machine can be washed down with hot water or steam as is customary in meat processing operations. When using detergents and sanitizers, follow manufacturer's instructions. Rinse with clear water. Allow to air dry.

After cleaning the machine, apply food grade mineral oil to lubricate the inside rim of the mixing arm seals and the worm seal where the mixing arm and worm will touch the seals. Reassemble the mixing arm seal, worm seal, mixing arm, and bushing retainer. To reassemble mix arm and worm seals . . .

Align tab at bottom of each seal with notch at bottom of applicable seal hole in end wall of hopper. Arrow at top of seal points up. Squeeze sides of seal and push in. Push in top of seal. Make sure seals are properly seated.

After cleaning, a light coat of food grade mineral oil is recommended for the cylinder, adjusting ring, knife, plate, and worm — before reassembly.

MG2032, MG1532 specifications

The Hobart MG1532 and MG2032 are exceptional meat grinders that cater to the diverse needs of foodservice operations, from delis to large-scale production kitchens. Boasting robust construction and thoughtful engineering, these machines exemplify durability and performance in commercial food preparation.

Starting with the MG1532, this model features a powerful 1.5-horsepower motor that delivers exceptional grinding capability. Designed for efficiency, it can process up to 32 pounds of meat per minute, making it ideal for establishments with high-volume requirements. Its 32-size grinding plate allows for the creation of a variety of meat textures, catering to different culinary applications—from coarse ground beef for burgers to fine sausage meat.

The MG2032 takes performance a step further with its 2-horsepower motor, providing even greater output and efficiency. With a capacity to grind up to 42 pounds of meat per minute, this model is suitable for larger operations that require consistent and quick meat processing. Both models are engineered with stainless steel construction, ensuring durability and ease of cleaning, which is crucial for maintaining hygiene standards in foodservice settings.

A key feature of the Hobart MG series is the innovative Feed-Forward design, which utilizes a unique screw design to help push meat more efficiently into the grinder. This technology minimizes the risk of blockages and maximizes throughput, facilitating uninterrupted processing even during peak hours. Additionally, both models are equipped with a removable hopper and a stainless steel grinding head, allowing for easy disassembly and thorough cleaning after use.

Safety is a top priority, and Hobart has integrated several features to ensure a secure operating environment. These include thermal overload protection to prevent overheating and a protective safety switch that ensures the machine cannot be operated unless assembled correctly.

The MG1532 and MG2032 also come with an array of optional attachments and accessories, including different plate sizes for varied grind textures and sausage making funnels, providing versatility to chefs and processors alike. The intuitive design and advanced technologies present in these grinders exemplify Hobart's commitment to quality, ensuring reliability and performance for years to come. Whether for small-scale production or high-volume meat processing, the Hobart MG1532 and MG2032 stand out as industry-leading choices.
