Chinese meat grinders

[LandyAndy]

Anybody have one or used one of these style Chinese mincers?????
Looking for a heavy duty grinder to mince fish offal/frames/bait into berley.
Will also want to make sausages into the future.
There was a member last year who bought the $80 style Chinese mincer and it was rubbish.
NEW Commercial 150kg HR Electric Meat Mincer Stainless Steel Bench TOP Grinder | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-COMMERCIAL-150KG-HR-ELECTRIC-MEAT-MINCER-STAINLESS-STEEL-BENCH-TOP-GRINDER-/191039715031?pt=AU_SmallKitchenAppliances&hash=item2c7adab6d7)

Thanks

I wish I had something like that years ago.... my neighbour and I used to mince our berley with a hand mincer........ 2 wheelie bins full of Mackerel frames and offal..... never again

My last brew was done with a hand mincer on my own.Half a day to fill 2x25lt drums.I said the same,never again!!!!

Do they make log splitters too? :p
After the grief you had with the splitter, I'm surprised you'd even consider more Chinese crap. :o

[LandyAndy]

Seen how much the italian ones are for the same capacity???.Try $2000 plus.
Bit expensive for a berley machine.

How about connecting a variable speed drill or electric motor, belt and pullies to a hand grinder?

Yeah the $80 ones are rubbish.

LandyAndy, we ended up buying one similar to what you have linked to there, but it's Aussie made I think. It's heavy as, all stainless and it chews through the meat.

The Chinese one I bought died in 5mins use so I cut the ass out of it and connected a power drill to the end of the shaft. Couldn't leave 10kgs of lamb just sitting on the bench. :angel:

It you dont put a full chinaman in at once you'll be ok :p.

For reliability as opposed to a Land Rover powered model? ;)

Are the French as good as making Meat Mincers as wine or cheese????
At least this one can be thrown thru the shop window if its no good.

Andy, if you go to somewhere like "Grays Online" you might pick up a good second hand industrial version from a closing down/liquidation sale.
Dont know if they operate over in WA, but here in Vic, you can buy almost anything.
