GENERAL

The MG1532 & MG2032 Mixer-Grinders are designed to use a #32(42/46) size knife and plate (knives and plates are available at extra cost but not included with grinder). Do not use a plate with hole size smaller than 3/32".

The MG1532 Mixer-Grinder is equipped with either a 5 or 71/2 HP Grind Motor and a 1 HP Mix Motor. The MG2032 Mixer-Grinder is equipped with a 71/2 HP Grind Motor and a 1 HP Mix Motor. On all models, the worm rotates at 216 RPM and the mix arm rotates at 23 RPM. The MG1532 with 5 HP Grind Motor is for fresh meat only, not for frozen product.

The inclined hopper permits lower, easier loading while the tilted worm provides a convenient output height.

Releasing the latch handle allows the hopper guard (lid) to open easily — torsion springs counterbalance the lid's weight.

The exclusive Hobart designed #46 Wedge cylinder grinding end speeds product from hopper to grinding end by pulling pieces of meat through the large upper opening of the cylinder (Fig. 1).

The MG1532 hopper can hold up to 150 pounds of fresh meat. The MG2032 hopper can hold up to 200 pounds of fresh meat. The MG1532 & MG2032 Mixer-Grinders can grind at a rate of 55 to 60 pounds of fresh boneless beef per minute, first or second cut through a 1/8" plate.
