Disclosed is a meat grinder. According to the technical solution of this disclosure, food is placed into a processing cavity through a material inlet, and after the food is fallen to a side of a propeller away from a cutter head, the propeller is configure to propel the food to a cutter. The food is pressed against the cutter head and the food on the cutter head is cut by the cutter, and the food in discharge holes is squeeze outed by the propeller. Because the propeller is rotatably connected to the cutter head through the wear part, it may prevent an end of the propeller facing the cutter head from rubbing directly against the cutter head and causing black powder, so as to avoid the risk of contamination of the meat and affect the user's experience.

The invention relates to a reliable cutting set system for a meat mincing machine. The mutually matched coding (14, 24) between knife pins (10) and the cutting set element (20) prevents an incorrect installation of the cutting set element (20) after a cleaning process or during the initial assembly, thereby increasing the operational safety. The invention allows a detection of the correct cutting set element (20) of a cutting set system and thus an unambiguous allocation of the cutting set element to a knife pin (10) of a cutting set system.

The invention relates to a blade, more particularly for a meat grinder. The blade (10) has a collar-type sealing ring (18) between the hub (11) and the inner ends of the blade wings (14). Said sealing ring (18) has the same height as the hub (11) as the adjacent sealing ring (18) has or the hub (11) has a smaller height. The hub (11) thus does not impede the rubbing of the cutting edges (16, 17) of the blade (10) or the rubbing of the sealing ring (18).

A shredder cassette of a shredder lubrication is disclosed. The shredder cassette includes a cassette housing and at least two shredding shafts arranged in parallel and rotatably mounted in the cassette housing. A first set of fingers are arranged between the cassette housing and a first shredding shaft, and a second set of fingers are arranged between the cassette housing and a second shredding shaft. At least one of the first set of fingers and the second set of fingers includes finger lubricating channels for lubricating the at least two shredding shafts.

A grinding machine for grinding food-products, such as meat or the like, includes an orifice plate at the outlet of a grinding head. The orifice plate has collection passages that discharge a mixture of soft material and hard material through the orifice plate. A separator assembly, including a separator screw, separation chamber, metering auger, and metering cone, is located downstream of the orifice plate for separating the soft material from the hard material. The metering auger is fixedly coupled to a distal end of the separator screw and has a reduced diameter relative to the separator screw. The metering auger advances in a downstream direction the hard material of the mixture of soft material and hard material. The metering cone includes an internal conical portion and a metering passageway formed therein, where the metering auger is in communication with the metering passageway, and where a selected diameter of the metering auger defines an amount of the hard material that is advanced in the downstream direction through the metering passageway toward a discharge end.

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.

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.
