Installation, Operation, and Care of
MG1532 & MG2032 MIXER-GRINDERS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The MG1532 & MG2032 Mixer-Grinders are designed to use a #32(42/46) size knife and plate (knives and
plates are available at extra cost but not included with grinder). Do not use a plate with hole size smaller
than
3
/32".
The MG1532 Mixer-Grinder is equipped with either a 5 or 7
1
/2 HP Grind Motor and a 1 HP Mix Motor. The
MG2032 Mixer-Grinder is equipped with a 7
1
/2 HP Grind Motor and a 1 HP Mix Motor. On all models, the
worm rotates at 216
RPM and the mix arm rotates at 23 RPM. The MG1532 with 5 HP Grind Motor is for fresh
meat only, not for frozen product.
The inclined hopper permits lower, easier loading while the tilted worm provides a convenient output
height.
Releasing the latch handle allows the hopper guard (lid) to open easily — torsion springs counterbalance
the lid's weight.
The exclusive Hobart designed #46 Wedge cylinder
grinding end speeds product from hopper to grinding
end by pulling pieces of meat through the large upper
opening of the cylinder (Fig. 1).
The MG1532 & MG2032 Mixer-Grinders may be
ordered with any of the following options and/or
accessories:
1) Caster sets and / or adjustable leg sets. The
MG1532 & MG2032 Mixer-Grinders are equipped
with flexible power supply cord and plug. Either
a receptacle or a pendant type connector is
available. The receptacle requires a type FD
electrical box (not supplied).
2) Pneumatic foot switch accessory (can be easily
added at any time).

3) The hopper side-feed inlet can be ordered (and factory installed) for the right side of the hopper
to allow product from a companion first cut grinder to feed directly into the hopper. A plug assembly
for the side feed inlet, a drip cup, and adapter ring for the first-cut grinder are available accessories.
The MG1532 hopper can hold up to 150 pounds of fresh meat. The MG2032 hopper can hold up to
200 pounds of fresh meat. The MG1532 & MG2032 Mixer-Grinders can grind at a rate of 55 to 60 pounds
of fresh boneless beef per minute, first or second cut through a
1
/8" plate. Pork can be ground first cut
through a
3
/4" breaker plate and second cut through a
3
/16" plate at 60 to 65 pounds per minute. Up to
60 pounds of frozen meat per batch (on units with 7
1
/2 HP Grind Motor only) can be ground from flake
or stick form when tempered to 26°F or higher and first grind is through a
3
/8" or larger plate.
