A meat grinder is a tool for grinding meat and prepares it for various uses and cooking in different ways. The invention of this practical device is attributed to the 19th century and a German chef named Karl Drais. Today, meat grinders exist in various household and industrial categories and have made many improvements in design and construction and have appeared much more powerful and safer than before.

An industrial meat grinder is a device familiar to everyone and most people have had the experience of using it or have often seen it in butcher shops. This device crushes the meat and turns it into smaller and smaller volumes for consumption. The meat grinder was initially used manually and now, thanks to the advancement of technology, it exists and works automatically and electrically.

Meat grinders are divided into 2 industrial and semi-industrial groups. Of course, there is also a home model that can be included in the semi-industrial group. Many companies are engaged in the production of industrial and semi-industrial meat grinders. Among the meat grinders available in the Iranian market, we can mention the industrial meat grinders Omega, Minerva, Artex, Fimar, Burax, Electrokar and Alfa.
Types of industrial meat grinders

There are many types of industrial meat grinders, including models with wheels, without wheels, desktop, standing, with and without refrigerator. But in general, the industrial meat grinder has 2 main types of gearbox and belt, which are used as desktop and standing. There is a lot of variation in the production of this product and different companies produce meat grinders. Applicants and customers can order and get their desired sample according to their needs.

The standing and desktop industrial meat grinder is designed in such a way that it can grind a large volume of hot meats in a very short period of time. This model does this without damaging the engine and reducing the life of the device. Because the large sizes of the meat grinder are very heavy, they are mostly used standing and with a wheel with a lock. But the smaller sizes of this product can be used on the table.

A belt industrial meat grinder uses a belt as an energy transmitter between the motor and the internal parts. One of the advantages and capabilities of the belt meat grinder is that it can easily and quickly grind juicy food such as potatoes or onions separately or together with meat. This will not damage the internal parts of the device because the belt is made of plastic and does not react with the water of these foods.

The industrial meat grinder uses gears and gearboxes between the engine and other parts such as the throat, intestine and blade. This design model makes the machine perform the grinding operation with all its power. The gearbox meat grinder can continue to work in different powers.

The thing that makes some customers reluctant to buy this model of machine is that when you use juicy food such as potatoes or onions, the water of these ingredients enters the gears and gearbox and cleans their oil. The removal of oils causes this model to make noise after a while and eventually break down.
