A meat grinder has a motor assembly and a grinding assembly. The motor assembly has a motor. The motor has an output axle having an annular abutting surface. The grinding assembly is securely connected with the motor assembly and has a grinding tube, a threaded rod, a blade, and an extrusion panel. The grinding tube is connected to the casing of the motor assembly and has an annular connecting base. The threaded rod is rotatably mounted in the grinding tube and has a connection segment. The connection segment is mounted through the connecting base, is connected with the output axle of the motor, and is stepped in section to form an annular abutting shoulder. The abutting shoulder is formed around the connecting segment and abuts the annular abutting surface of the output axle.

A grinding machine includes first feed screw, first head, first center pin, first knife assembly, bushing and first orifice plate. Second feed screw is coupled to first center pin and rotates within second head. Second feed screw is positioned against the bushing such that the bushing acts as a thrust bearing. Second center pin is coupled to second feed screw and is configured to rotate a second knife assembly. Second orifice plate is arranged on second center pin. Second mounting ring can be linearly adjusted relative to second head to axially position second orifice plate between a stop shoulder of second head and a lip of second mounting ring. Second feed screw may include a plurality of flights arranged in a split flight configuration including one or more ingress end flights and one or more egress end flights.

A meat grinding reclamation system is disclosed herein. The system uses a plate having a plurality of holes through which meat is processed, and a smaller number of waste material indentations that feed waste material away from the meat into separate uniform curved openings. The center of the plate is provided with a shaft opening, which allows use of a center drive shaft across the plate.

A food processor includes a grinder to obtain a ground meat; a mixer to add fat to the ground meat; a payload bay to receive the ground meat; a plurality of evaporators coupled to the payload bay with a multiplicity of coolant tubes in each evaporator, wherein each tube enters and then exits the payload bay, further comprising one or more cryogenic valves coupled to the coolant tubes; a pump to force coolant flowing through the evaporators; and a processor with code for: chopping the ground meat and during chopping, adding salt and ice to the ground meat being chopped and adding liquid nitrogen to maintain the temperature of the meat being chopped below 5 C. to obtain a chopped meat product; adding fat to the chopped meat product and then chopping the fat and adding liquid nitrogen to maintain the temperature of the chopped meat product and fat being chopped between 1 C. and 10 C. to obtain a chopped meat and fat product, wherein the ground meat, added fat, ice and salt are present in amounts so that the chopped meat and fat product has a fat content of from 1% to 20% by weight based upon the weight of the chopped meat and fat product.

The invention relates to a meat grinder, having a housing (12), a conveying device, and at least one cutting-unit part (22). A meat grinder according to the invention comprises a housing (12), at least one conveying device for conveying material to be ground from an inlet opening to an outlet opening, and at least one cutting-unit part (22) arranged in the housing (12). At least one transponder (42) is arranged in or on the at least one cutting-unit part (22) and at least one communication device (36) for communicating with the transponder (42) is arranged in or on the housing (12) in such a way that data exchange between the communication device (36) and the transponder (42) is enabled.

A disgregating device of biological material, comprising: a hollow outer body, defining an inner chamber; a fixed disgregating grid, having a plurality of microholes provided with sharp edges, and housed transversely in the inner chamber so as to define an upper loading chamber apt to be loaded with the biological material to be disgregated and a lower collecting chamber apt to collect the biological material, after it has been disgregated; and a bladed rotor, rotating in the inner chamber, apt to co-operate, rotating, with the fixed disgregating grid, so as to feed and bring the biological material, contained in the upper loading chamber, into contact with the microholes of the disgregating grid and therefore cause the disgregation of the biological material making it pass through these microholes.

The present invention relates to a method to grind mass in a grinder (1) wherein the mass is provided to the grinder (1) via a hopper (5) and transported by a feeder worm (2) to a rotating processing worm (3) which conveys the mass towards a cutting set (4) which grinds the mass and wherein the feeder worm (2) initially rotates in a first direction. During production the feeder worm (2) is periodically reversed and/or the speed of rotation of the feeder worm (2) is reduced in case the volume between the feeder worm (2) and the processing worm (3) tends to get blocked with the mass.
