An apparatus and method for accelerating food product in order to cause the product to be stretched aligning the fibers of the product.

A food processor includes a tubular member, and a spindle inserted into the tubular member and including a guide entry section, a crushing section, a grinding section, an extension section, a guide exit section, a guide thread helically wound around the guide entry section, a crushing thread helically wound around the crushing section, and a plurality of spaced-apart grinding threads helically extending from the grinding section to the guide exit section. The guide thread has first and second ring segments each helically extending one revolution around the guide entry section. The first ring segment has a thread depth smaller than that of the second ring segment.

A portable multifunctional smoking utensil holder and kit is disclosed that may include a holder for smoking utensils that includes a lower portion; and an upper portion that is pivotably attached to the lower portion, wherein the lower portion includes a first compartment that is configured to slidably and removably receive a pipe therein for storing the pipe; a second compartment that is configured to store a leafy substance therein; and a third compartment that is open to the second compartment, the third compartment including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion configured to slidably receive the pipe therein, the second portion including a grinding mechanism that is configured to transfer and grind substances from the second compartment into the third compartment when the grinding mechanism is actuated.

A meat grinding reclamation system is disclosed herein. The system uses a conical feed screw. The conical feed screw is provided with a shaft and two flights. The first flight changes from a constant diameter to an expanding diameter. The second flight is provided co-helically along the shaft with a portion of the first flight. As both flights expand in diameter, meat processed through the meat grinding reclamation system accelerates, dislodging undesirable material such as gristle from the meat, before the meat decreases in velocity to present the meat for further processing.

A mincer includes a container, a cover body and a flipping cover. The container is provided with a cavity for accommodating an object and an opening communicated with the cavity; the cover body is detachably installed on the container to seal the opening and provided with a feeding port communicated with the cavity; and the flipping cover is hinged with the cover body and rotated to cover or expose the feeding port. In the present invention, when the materials need to be added for the second time, the flipping cover is turned over to expose the feeding port. The materials are added for the second time into the container through the feeding port, and then the flipping cover is turned over again, so that the flipping cover covers the feeding port.

A meat grinder having a screw conveyor, a blade journal mounted on the screw conveyor in a rotationally fixed manner, and a cutting set. The cutting set includes a perforated disc which is supported in a stationary manner on the meat grinder housing and a blade which is mounted in a rotationally fixed manner on a supporting portion of a blade journal. The blade journal is inserted in a bearing bore of the screw conveyor. An insertion end of the blade journal protrudes from the supporting portion in a radial direction, and a stop surface is located between the insertion end and a circumferential side of the supporting portion. A fastening ring is pushed over the supporting portion of the blade journal to the stop surface and can be connected to the screw conveyor, thereby achieving a detachable connection of the blade journal with the screw conveyor.

A device for grinding and mixing of herbs and/or tobacco and/or spices, preparing and dispensing of cigarettes is disclosed. The device includes a single removable grinder/mixing unit 1200 that is extractable from the device and storable in a separate container 1600. The modular function enables convenient removal of any remaining herbs and/or tobacco and/or spices from the device for storage, and permits use of another grinder/mixing unit 1200 in the device for the grinding and mixing of other material.

An apparatus for mincing a product to be minced, particularly for the meat-processing industry, includes at least one fixed perforated plate (7) and a cutting element (10, 25) rotating in front of said perforated plate and connected for conjoint rotation to a shaft (6), which are accommodated in a cutting housing (2), a retaining finger ring (9), which is axially displaceable in the direction of the shaft (6), and arranged between the cutting housing (2), the fixed perforated plate (7) and the rotating cutting element (10, 25).

An emulsion system is provided. The system includes a shaft that supports a plurality of cutting assemblies and screens in alternating order, wherein the cutting assembly rotates with respect to an in close proximity to the screen. The cutting assemblies include a plurality of cutting elements that extend radially outward from a hub and are positioned at consistent radial spacing along the perimeter of the hub. Each cutting element includes front and back edges that cut food particles in conjunction with holes within the screen, wherein the front and back edges are substantially perpendicular.
