Hobart MG2032, MG1532 Grinder Attachment, Mixing Arm, Mixing And Grinding, Grinding Procedure

GRINDER ATTACHMENT

The Wedge cylinder is marked TOP and BOTTOM. Before operating, make sure TOP is visible.

The grinder attachment can easily be removed for cleaning (see Cleaning, page 8). Use the spanner wrench to loosen the adjusting ring and remove the adjusting ring, plate and knife. Next loosen, but do not remove the grinder attachment's two flange nuts, using the spanner wrench. Rotate the cylinder clockwise and remove the cylinder; then, remove the worm. At reassembly, install the worm and then the cylinder. Make sure TOP is visible on the cylinder and that the cylinder's flange nuts are tight before assembling the knife, plate, and adjusting ring. Use only the flange nuts provided. Two studs on the front of the machine allow storage of the spanner wrench and pneumatic foot switch.

The rubber seal at the drive end of the worm can be removed by hand for cleaning. Grasp the outer flange of the seal or use a dull screwdriver to pry the seal loose. Reinstall seal before installing worm.

Before using the grinder attachment, take it apart and thoroughly wash it. The knife and plate need some preliminary lubrication: Rub tallow or food grade mineral oil over the cutting faces of these parts. When assembling the knife, be sure to turn the cutting side towards the perforated plate. The notch on the circumference of the plate must fit over the pin in the cylinder. Knives and plates must be sharp and true for proper cutting action. Keep the grinder attachment in a clean and sanitary condition.

MIX ARM

PL-40984-1

MIXING ARM Fig. 6

Loosen the bushing retainer's two flange nuts and remove the bushing retainer (Fig. 5). Raise the hopper lid and pull the mixing arm from the square drive end, lifting the mixing arm from the hopper (Fig. 6). When reassembling, make sure TOP on the bushing retainer is “up” so the mixing arm runs straight between the round bushing and the square drive-end. Remove the mixing arm after disassembly of the grinder cylinder and worm. Reassemble the mixing arm before assembly of the grinder cylinder and worm.

MIXING AND GRINDING

The MG1532 has a hopper capacity of up to 150 pounds of fresh meat depending on the type of product. The MG2032 has a hopper capacity of up to 200 pounds of fresh meat depending on the type of product. Don't put frozen product in units with 5 HP Grind Motor.

Second cut meat may be mixed in the hopper for any desired length of time. During the MIX operation, the mixing arm rotates and the grinder worm does not. Continuous self-feeding occurs along with grinding in the MIX-GRIND operation. Mixing of uncut or unground meat is not recommended.
