Mixergrinders

MAKERS OF MIXER-GRINDERS used in grocery retail meat
departments continue to evolve to meet demand for safer, more
ergonomically correct equipment that helps clients save labor and meet
food safety standards.
Hobart Food Equipment's MG1532 and MG2032 mixer-grinders are
popular choices for the production of ground meats and sausages for
the grocer meat case, said Megan Gray, Hobart product line manager.
The MG1532 has a 150-pound capacity and the MG2032 has a 200pound
capacity, making both ideal for higher production mixing and
grinding, Gray said.
And both machines thoroughly mix and grind meat without
mashing it.
" Hobart mixer-grinders can be used anywhere meat grinding and
mixing operations take place, whether in a grocery meat department or
a butcher shop, " Gray said.
One of the features that retailers seem to like about the Hobart
MG1532 and MG2032 mixer-grinders, she said, is the easy-access
hopper, which is ergonomic and makes loading and unloading product
faster and easier for the operator.
The hopper is at the perfect height, so it doesn't require the operator
to lift product up too high.
Along with the ergonomic hopper, the Hobart MG1532 and MG2032
mixer-grinders have long-lasting Stay-Sharp knives and plates.
The knives' alloy steel construction, Gray said, holds an edge longer
than other brands and the operator can re-sharpen them multiple times.
Hobart also offers a variety of plates to gain the desired texture
and consistency. The MG2032 mixer-grinder features a double wall
construction and ships standard with a pneumatic foot control that
simplifies operation.

Both mixer grinders have smooth weld seams to reduce the
opportunity of meat scraps settling and causing foodborne bacteria;
this feature also expedites cleaning. The mixer-grinders feature a
removable mix arm, auger and seals for complete sanitation.
Both Hobart mixer-grinders, Gray said, " help improve productivity
and maximize labor since they eliminate the need to mix and grind
separately. They're ideal for mixing and grinding meat for sausages and
meatballs, as well as hamburger and other grocery meat department
offerings. "
