SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The Model 4352 Mixer-Grinder is equipped with a 10 HP motor which rotates the mixing arm at 29 RPM and

available at extra cost but not included with grinder). Do not use a plate with hole size smaller than
3
/32".
The hopper can hold up to 275 pounds for first grind, depending on type of product; up to 300 pounds
for second grind. The machine can grind at a rate of 80 to 100 pounds of fresh boneless beef per
minute, first or second cut through a
1
/8" plate. Frozen meat must be tempered to 24°F or higher before
grinding and can be in flake or stick form. Pork can be ground first cut through a
3
/4" breaker plate at
up to 80 pounds per minute; and second cut through a
3
/16" plate at 40 to 80 pounds per minute.
Optional equipment, available at extra cost, includes the following:
1) 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) Legs with casters (4 lengths are available). NOTE: Machines with casters are equipped with
